n October we put on 'A Night at the Movies', a musical extravaganza featuring the School Senior Choir, Soul'd As Seen Choir soloists and the world famous Cory Band. The concert took place at St Mary's Church to a packed out audience of over 500. The night was a huge success and a fantastic experience for our pupils.
Our annual Carol Service is always a wonderful occasion with many musical performances and readers. All pupils at St John's take part in the occasion including the always impeccable Pre-Prep. This year the opening carol Once in Royal David's City was sung by Isabelle Eaves. The service featured the school choirs, orchestra and wind ensemble and David Thomas on organ. During November our Junior Choir was invited to the annual Coffee#1 conference at the Principality Stadium to launch the carol singing campaign to raise money for the Samaritans. The school has sung at the local store for a few years and this led to a national programme of singing across the Coffee#1 chain. The driving force behind this was our talented singing teacher Mrs Emma Laidlaw-Height.
