Young Enterprise

Our Young Enterprise company has been working hard all year. They had a successful Christmas Fair and are now working hard for the Trade Fair at the Grafton Centre, Cambridge on Saturday 6th February. Do come along and see the goods they have been producing. Here are a couple of previews:

Book of the Month: January

This month's book is a little-known classic from China: Shen Congwen's Border Town. Shen was in line for the Nobel Prize for Literature at the time of his death in 1988 but is still too little appreciated in the west.

Originally published in 1934, Border Town tells the story of Cuicui, a young girl from Hunan. Shen was known for his lyrical writing and strong female characters and nowhere is this more apparent than in this novella. If you haven't tried Chinese fiction before, give it a go. If you have read Chinese fiction, give it a go.

Oliver!

With only a week to go until the all-singing, all-dancing production of Oliver, the Sixth form have been hard at work not just rehearsing but painting the set too. We had a sneak preview of work in progress just to get in the mood for the treat ahead. Tickets are available from school and performances start next Monday.
