St Joan of Arc Virtual Christmas Concert 2021
Virtual Christmas Concert 2021
The Music Department has been working hard to record and produce a virtual Christmas concert. Although it’s a shame not to perform to a live audience, it has still been a fun experience. Each group has performed their own piece and the concert ends with many performing together in a fun festive finale.
Pour yourself a drink, get the mince pies ready and enjoy ‘a touch of Christmas’.

Well done to all bands that took part and congratulations to Phoenix (Jaimie Dawson, Bridget Mahoney and Paddy Tighe) who were this years winning band, as voted for by the audience.

On Friday 20th November 2015, a selection of students from Year 7 and 8 were invited to carol sing at M&S, Rickmansworth. These students have shown an interest in their carol singing projects this term. A selection of Sixth Form students also packed away customers’ shopping. These activities helped raised funds for the PFA. We received positive comments from lots of the public and great fun was had by all!
On the 26th March 2015 the Music Department took students from Year 8, 12 and 13 to the Southbank Centre to participate in a Gamelan workshop. Gamelan is type of music from Indonesia which all Year 8s have studied this year and the upper sixth students are also studying a piece of Gamelan music for their A level. During the workshop we first learnt some background information about the history of Gamelan music and how to correctly play the instruments. We then had the chance to play the instruments and learnt a traditional Gamelan song that we performed together. The day was exciting, interesting and inspiring and really brought what we had previously learnt in school to life.
