  • Remembrance Lent Term 2020
    Remembrance Lent term 2020 My Fair Lady I’m sure that I speak for everyone involved in My Fair Lady when I say that it was an unforgettable experience for which I’m truly thankful. It is crazy to think that it all started back in September when a group of 42 students from different years and not really knowing each other came together to create the school musical. A few rehearsals and a lot of questionable cockney accents later, we soon found that we had produced something of which we could be truly proud. The cast and crew worked tirelessly to bring Miss Grandi’s unique and exciting vision for the show to life. Ms Rakowski and her wonderfully talented orchestra performed some of the most famous show tunes in musical theatre. The sumptuous costumes coupled with professional-standard staging, lighting and sound support combined to make this production really special. I feel so grateful to have been a part of such a wonderful production with a talented group of people and so thankful for all of the friendships and lifelong memories that My Fair Lady has provided! It was truly unforgettable. Millie 11L Sporting success 6-7 Debating stars 4 Artistic partnerships 10-11 Across the generations Year 5 students have been learning about the history of St Helen and St Katharine. To enhance their letter-writing skills as well as understanding how to capture primary resources, they were asked to write a letter to an Old Girl. Many letters asked about uniform, what the food was like, and some seemed particularly keen to know what forms of punishment were given out in the past! The students were also proud to talk about which House they were in and how much they love Teasel the school dog.
