QUEEN’S PARK HIGH SCHOOL NEWS Students put their work in the shop window Art work created by students from Chester’s Queen’s Park High School is now on display in a vacant shop in Watergate Street. The students had also showcased their work in a shop in Handbridge earlier in the year. The work showcases a selection of students’ work across the year groups in Art and Design, Digital Photography, Ceramics and textiles. The work on display in Watergate Street includes ceramic low relief architecture, 3D sculptures, digital imaging and large scale painting by students from years 7 to 13. Due to the success of the art display in Handbridge, the Arts College was again approached by Chester Council to ask if they would like to showcase students’ art work at a vacant shop in Watergate Street in Chester city centre. Top: The shop display in Watergate Street Right: Students outside the formerly empty shop in Handbridge

Students from Queen’s Park High School have been on stage with this year’s production of the musical “Fame”. With over 100 students involved on stage and behind the scenes, this production has been a great team effort full of hard work and commitment for the past term.

Busy river calendar There is a full programme of events and activities on and around the River Dee this year. Chester’s Groves, Meadows and Sandy Lane stretches of the river are set to attract competitors and spectators throughout the coming months. Highlights of the new programme include sailing, canoeing, rowing and dragon boat racing. The new season of bandstand concerts starts in May with a programme of weekend concerts between 2pm - 3.30pm and 4pm - 6pm. There is a pre season start to the programme on Saturday, 14 April when the Middlesbrough Steelworks band visits the Chester bandstand as a part of their tenth anniversary tour. Said Executive Member for Culture and Recreation, Councillor Stuart Parker: “The River Dee, Groves and Meadows attract thousands of residents and visitors during the year. A lot of refurbishment work took place along the Groves last year including new seating, improved pavement and the planting of new Lime Trees. “I am delighted to see the wide range of events and activities using the river and surrounding area and I’m sure they will attract large crowds to the banks of the river.”
