Cultural Week

Cultural

Week

The diverse talents of St Andrew’s students, and the richness that Performing Arts brings to everyone in the College community, was celebrated during Cultural Week from Monday 15 – Friday 19 August.

Heads of Culture, Rachel Holyoake and Lucy Ojala (both Year 13), did a fantastic job of organising a packed and enjoyable programme of lunchtime activities, which kicked off with a dance class by choreographer, Manaia Davies. On Tuesday, students celebrated St Andrew’s Scottish heritage with a Robbie Burns Day, which included a Pipe Band performance in the Quad, Highland Games activities, and the chance to sample some haggis. A ‘movie lunch’ was held on Wednesday, to celebrate the College’s talented Drama Department, with students watching previous productions, then Theatresports after school. The Cultural Assembly on Thursday 18 August was a wonderful celebration of the achievements, talent, and culture at St Andrew’s. This was followed by ‘StAC’s Got Talent’, a lunchtime event organised by the Cultural Council.

To finish off the week, students immersed themselves in Art activities and ‘Team of the Week’ challenges in the Quad. A special ‘Open Mic’ night rounded off a fantastic week of fun-filled days, supported by the Drama, Music, and Art Departments.
