As we are approaching the end of the academic year, we would like to give parents of Perins the opportunity to give us your feedback on various topics relating to the school. We would be very grateful if you could please complete the short survey before the end of term by clicking here.
On Tuesday 14th June, students and staff welcomed MasterChef winner, Jane Devonshire, to officially open the new Perins Café. After the opening, Jane visited Miss Gibbs' Year 9 GCSE Food classes to answer questions about MasterChef and cook for the lucky students! Jane talked through her experience on the show, explaining the different heats she went through and how she felt throughout the competition. I would like to take this opportunity to thank Jane for giving up her precious time to attend the opening and give cookery workshops to the students who thoroughly enjoyed this unforgettable experience.
Before half term, parents, staff and students were treated to an outstanding performance of 'Who Killed the Caretaker' performed by Year 10 students Tom Gillespie, Paige Ross, Max Byford, Brianagh Melling, Chloe Barnham, Tom Sherry, Oliver Deflice Hubbard, Rose Loveday, Josh Taylor, Keir Tett, Rosie Wimbleton and Alex Nankivell. The students had worked tirelessly on the production since September, and their hard work and dedication most certainly paid off. The audience was treated to a performance full of laughter to make an unforgettable evening. Congratulations to all students who were involved in this fantastic production.
Congratulations to Year 7 student, Kylah Landscheit, who has achieved fantastic results in football recently. During the last football season, Kylah was awarded with two 'U12 Girls supporters' player' trophies for the Saturday & Sunday league. Additionally she was presented with the Alresford Town Youth Football Club 'Girls Club Player of the Year' shield for her overall hard work and dedication to the team and the game. I look forward to hearing of Kylah's future successes in the sport!
On Saturday, Year 9 students Spencer Carroll and Josh Fletcher and their indie punk band 'WAIT' played at the annual Alresford Music Festival. The band has only been together for a year but they have already built up a loyal following by playing at gigs in and around Alresford. They write and perform all of their own songs and have recently recorded their first EP. Playing at the Alresford Music Festival was a huge step forward for them, so well done to both for their hard work and dedication.
On Thursday, Year 7 took part in our annual Cultural Arts Day which aims to give students a greater understanding of African Culture. They spent the day completing a series of practical workshops in Drama, Music, Dance and Art learning traditional African drumming, dancing and art techniques. Some of the best art work created from the day will be used to form a 'Mask Hunt' in Alresford, a local challenge supported by the Council. It ran for the first time last year and was hugely popular. It was fantastic to see how much our pupils enjoyed this opportunity to extend their learning beyond the classroom and to experience a new culture.
Tickets go on sale for 'Phantom of the Opera' on Monday! Creative Arts and cast members have been working tirelessly in rehearsals to ensure that it will be an unforgettable production.
