Back to the 80s!
P
arents and staff were treated to an evening of nostalgia on 22nd March as Bablake hosted its third fundraising concert for Harrismith School. This year’s theme was music from the 1980s, which proved to be an inspiration for teachers and pupils alike. There were some outstanding performances and it was fantastic to see new talent emerging from younger pupils who sang with amazing confidence and energy. One parent commented after the show, ‘I feel like I’ve had an evening out!’ and she was right - it was a hugely enjoyable evening and a lot of fun for everyone.

There were many highlights, but those who attended may never forget Mr Roberts’ performance in ‘Uptown Girl’. Certainly, Mr Burns and Mrs Skilton cried with laughter throughout! Most importantly, the concert raised £1150 for Harrismith School, allowing us to continue funding the school’s ICT suite, Internet connection and uniform fund. Many thanks to all those who took part and helped with the organisation. A special thank you to Katy Davis and Anastasia Jeffcoat who were responsible for most of the organisation and artistic direction. Well done to you both.
