A Musical Extravaganza in Vienna!

On Sunday 14th July eighty music students and staff travelled to Vienna for the 2019 Music Tour. The musicians had a fantastic experience when they performed a concert at the historic and prestigious St Stephen’s Cathedral.  Our students also performed at the Doblhoff Park Music Festival and underneath the big wheel at the amusement park in Prater Park! This was an amazing opportunity for the students to perform at such diverse venues. The group also visited a number of local attractions during their visit, including a walk in the grounds of Belvedere Palace, trips to the Opera House and Hofburg, a cruise along the River Danube and a visit to Schoenbrunn Palace. The tour members even managed to experience the rides at Prater Park before their performance there later that day!

Music teacher Mr Butterfield said; “The students performed at their very best and each concert had its own unique atmosphere, from reverence and awe in St. Stephens Cathedral to joy and excitement in Prater Theme Park.“

Pupil journalist Sam B secures national 'Student Voices' award

Our  talented pupil, Sam B, Year 9, has been named one of just five winners nationwide in the prestigious ' The Day's Student Voices Young Journalist Awards 2026. Sam B clinched the honour with a compelling, insightful opinion piece titled, “Life Isn't All Sunshine And Rainbows But It's Not Doom And Gloom Either.” The competition judges praised the passion, positivity and exceptional eloquence of Sam’s writing. As part of the winner's package, the article was officially published on The Day’s global Student Voices platform on 15th June, alongside the national announcement of the competition winners. Sam’s award-winning article takes critical aim at the modern media landscape, arguing that mainstream platforms rely on sensationalism and fear to drive reader engagement. The piece contrasts historical anxieties with today's relentless news cycle, which feeds on global catastrophes. While acknowledging real hardships, Sam warns that constant access to bleak updates is mentally exhausting and traps younger generations in a false sense of hopelessness.  Far from advocating for purposeful ignorance, Sam urges readers to stay informed while remembering how far humanity has progressed. The essay highlights that we are living in a golden age of technology and medical achievement.  Ultimately, the award-winning piece serves as a powerful reminder of humanity's inherent resilience and proven ability to thrive in the face of adversity. As Sam beautifully concludes, "It's important to keep positive, because whatever happens, humans always adapt and never lose hope." The entire St Clement Danes community extends its warmest congratulations to Sam on this incredible achievement
