  • Options Advice Matthew Thompson & Ro Bartram
    February 2020 Issue School Newspaper Options Advice Matthew Thompson & Ro Bartram For the Year 9’s, the time has come for them to choose their GCSE’s. This is the first time you can make a choice about your education and it is important that you make these choices wisely as to not waste the next two years. If you are lucky enough to have a career focus already, this is a great opportunity to pick the GCSE options which best suit this and invest your time and effort into that. On the other hand, if you are clueless in regards to your career, all hope is not lost, as even A-level students do not yet know where they will go next. During GCSE’s it is recommended that you pick at least two that you enjoy, as it will become increasingly harder to motivate yourself if you pick options which you quite frankly couldn't care less about. You mustn’t let others influence what subjects you pick. Not your teachers, not your friends and not your parents. THIS IS ABOUT YOU. To stop you from picking subjects based purely on what the teachers say to you, talk to the older years about what the subjects entail as they will have the experience and be able to tell you unbiased accounts of what they are like. We are more than happy to give the insight that we wish we had from older years when we were at this stage. If disaster strikes and the blocks do not allow you to take the options you want, there are still ways around this.

  • Scottish Ballet to Take Over Televisions This Christmas with Two Special BBC Commissions
    PRESS RELEASE scottishballet.co.uk Scottish Ballet to take over televisions this Christmas with two special BBC commissions Scottish Ballet is delighted to announce that the 50th anniversary year will culminate with two special BBC commissions, which will see the company take over televisions this festive period. In a year of celebrations for Scotland’s national dance company, Scottish Ballet’s 50th anniversary comes to a spectacular close with the world premiere of CEO / Artistic Director Christopher Hampson’s The Snow Queen. The glittering new production will provide the stage for a special performance capture that will be broadcast on BBC Scotland and BBC Four, and close the story on the Five Wishes campaign and a heartwarming documentary of the same name that will be broadcast on BBC One (Scotland) and BBC Scotland. The Snow Queen BBC Scotland audiences will be treated to a special performance of this new ballet as the glittering production takes over their homes, with a feature length screening. Inspired by Hans Christian Andersen’s much-loved tale, The Snow Queen is a story of love and friendship. From the bustle of a winter’s market to the shivers of a fairytale forest, the production takes a journey to the Snow Queen’s palace and finds her surrounded by the icy fragments of an enchanted mirror. Guaranteed to transport the whole family to a place of wonder, The Snow Queen is choreographed by Christopher Hampson, in collaboration with multi-award winning designer Lez Brotherston. Set to the music of Rimsky-Korsakov, the score will be performed by the full Scottish Ballet Orchestra.
