Newbury College was proud to host Theale C. of E. Primary School's Summer Showcase Extravaganza at its open air amphitheatre on the evening of Tuesday 21st June. Pupils, aged seven to eleven, performed a range of delightful acts to an audience of family and friends.
Performances included the school's gifted and talented steel pan, drama and dance groups, singing from two of the school's choirs, music from the string and clarinet ensembles and brass quartet, acrobatics from the gymnastic squad and more.
Newbury College and Theale Primary School are working closely together as joint sponsors of a new primary school due to open in September 2017. The new school is being built to help meet the high demand for primary school places in Newbury.
Newbury College Principal, Dr Anne Murdoch OBE, said: It was an absolute pleasure hosting Theale Primary School's evening showcase event again this year, we are so pleased they were able to make use of our wonderful outside space. When the new school opens next year, we look forward to hosting many more events.
Deputy Head Teacher, Tristan Whiteman, said: It was with great pride that we saw our pupils performing so confidently on the stage. They have such a vast array of talents and gifts that they have had the chance to develop, extend and refine through our broad curriculum. We were equally delighted to see so many parents and family supporting their children and the school. We continue to look forward to working further with Newbury College in a productive continued partnership together.
Results of the student EU referendum poll carried out at Newbury College are similar to the final vote declared in West Berkshire. 52% of students, many of whom are not yet of voting age, backed the remain' campaign.
The sports hall at Newbury College was the location for West Berkshire's counting office, where the result was declared at around 4:20am in the morning.
On Friday 10th June, Newbury College students took part in an U19 Beach Rugby Tournament held on West Wittering Beach near Chichester. Fully supported by the RFU, this national competition involved schools and colleges playing games of five-a-side touch rugby on the beach.
Course Leader for Sport, James Ross, said: Despite never playing this game together before, our team did very well. We won three games, lost three games and drew once ' a testament to some excellent teamwork and individual brilliance. With good camaraderie displayed throughout the tournament, an excellent day was had by all.
Last night, Newbury College level 1 and 2 hair, beauty and spa students wowed audiences with a catwalk display of their creative talents, all set around a theme of Save the World'.
Each student designed and created a look ' including hair, make up and clothing ' based on their interpretation of the theme. Their models then took to the catwalk in front of a panel of industry experts from commercial salons and leading companies in the sector, including Dynamic Make-up Artistry, LK Hair, Lynnaire's Hair and Salon Services.
Some of the creations were based on topical issues such as endangered animals, global warming and recycling. The winners from the different levels included: Laura Sutton ' level 1 hair, Lucy Tooze ' level 1 beauty, Sharna Field ' level 2 beauty and Jasmine Chandler ' level 2 spa. The overall winner was Laura Sutton, who was inspired by nature for her theme.
Rachael Elsey, curriculum manager for hair and beauty, said: We'd like to thank everyone who came along to support the event, including all the parents and judges. Our annual showcase event is designed to allow the students' imagination to flourish and they certainly didn't disappoint! Some of the creations were truly amazing and we are very proud of what they achieved.
Jenny Parks, Academy Salon co-ordinator, added: As well as it being a fun event to participate in, the students gain valuable experience of how to interpret a brief and organise themselves so they can deliver the project on time ' skills they'll need if they want to succeed in this dynamic industry.
