Dear Parents
We look forward to a very exciting 175 Celebratory Concert. This will take place on Wednesday, 31 July and Thursday, 1 August at 19h00 in the Memorial Chapel. This concert will involve all three of the Bishops Music Departments – the Pre-Prep, the Prep and the College, and some ODs too!
Our ensembles will play music from a classical nature to light music. Some ensembles have combined from each school to perform together. We have about 100 Prep boys taking part in this event and there has been a real sense of camaraderie at our rehearsals. This concert will give everyone a taste of the wonderful musical journey that boys travel during their time in the Music Department – from Pre-School, Prep to College and beyond.
We are sure you will enjoy this special celebratory concert. It promises to be very special, especially as it is the first time that Bishops presents a concert as a whole school – an event not to be missed! Please see under TAKE Note for information regarding tickets for this event.
Kind regards
TINA SHEARD

The Artists of the Week were chosen from Grade 7. They have been working on lino carving and printing. This is a labour-intensive process which requires a drawing plan, followed by a carving and then a printing process on to a plastic/ leather like medium. The boys focussed on Architecture and looked at buildings of worship. One or two mavericks chose to draw a modern building rather than a decorative older design. One wonders what a MacDonalds building says about the worship of food? Please click HERE to view all the artwork. Well done to the following boys:
7B: William Lord, Drummond Mackenzie, Robbie Symons, Tom Townshend.
7P: Carter Mason, Zayaan Saloojee, Jack Stansfield, Troy Vomacka.
7S: Adam Hendrickse, Amo Kotelana, Storm Silander, Charles Traill.
The Hockey Husky was awarded to the U12 A team this week for their super improvement this term. It is good to see them playing such good hockey! Well done, boys! |
