What a fantastic Wednesday our choir had! Our pupils performed at the Northern Stage in the Middle and Secondary Vocal Showcase, organised by Newcastle Music Service. They had an amazing day, loved watching the performances from other schools, and sang brilliantly themselves During the dinner break, the fun continued with engaging activities organised by Newcastle University, promoting Chinese culture. Our pupils thoroughly enjoyed getting involved and trying something new, a lovely extra experience to an already memorable day! We are so proud of everyone who took part #ChoirTrip #VocalShowcase #ProudMoments #NorthernStage #newcastlemusicservice #Teamwork #SchoolLife #CulturalExperiences #NewcastleUniversity #greatparkacademy #gosforthgroup #creatingfutures
