🎶 Year 10 Elective Music students have been getting creative with their guitars! 🎸 As part of the unit, Art Music of the 20th & 21st Century, they explored the innovative world of 20th-century composer John Cage by creating ‘Prepared Instruments’, where they modified some of our acoustic guitars using everyday materials to change their sound. This hands-on activity gave them a unique insight into experimental sounds and extended instrument techniques.

Year 9 students had an enriching Reflection Day last week with the Youth Mission Team, focused on the powerful theme of Dignity. Through engaging skits, testimonies, and small group discussions, students explored what it means to embrace their true selves and recognising the dignity they hold simply by being created in God’s image. Inspired by St John Paul II’s message that each person is unique, unrepeatable, and deeply loved. Students were encouraged to rise above labels and reflect on the dignity they hold, and the importance of honouring that in others. #StJohnPaulIICatholicCollege #Mission #Dignity #ReflectionDay #Year9
