On February 4th and 5th Year 10 students performed in a show about Tibet called Yellow Flowers. The show was a combination of work from year 10 Technology students, year 12 Technical Theatre students and the year 10 Theatre GCSE option students. The show aimed to highlight the continuing plight of the Tibetan people under Chinese occupation since the 1950's and subject to continuing imprisonment, torture and human rights abuses. The show included the screening of an interview with Tibetan dissident and singer Soname Yangcheng shot by the schools Film and digital arts team led by Ken McGill. The theme of the show was an adaptation of Tibetan folk tales by Theatre teachers Stuart Warden and Andrew Midgley. The set and costumes were designed and made by Year 10 Technology students as part of their Technical theatre studies for their BTEC Performing arts qualifications. The year 12 Technical Theatre students erected the set and provided lighting, sound and technical experience. It was an example of a typical project that the school has become very adept at where a number of different strands and years come to together to create a project on a cross curricular basis.
