Drama Opportunity for Year 12

THE CAMBRIDGE FOOTLIGHTS Year 12 workshop- Places granted on a first-come, first-served basis.

This July Oxford Festival of the Arts are delighted to be hosting a FREE workshop with The Cambridge Footlights for local Year 12 pupils. The workshop will be run by members of the cast and crew of the famous Footlights Tour. Pupils will gain the tools they need to write their own comedy sketches, and develop their understanding of character and comedic narrative. For those interested, Footlights will also be able to answer any questions pupils may have about comedy and theatre beyond school, and theatre and comedy provisions as motivations for applying to Oxbridge.

Date: 4^th of July

Time: 4:00-5:30

Please contact Mr Gimson if you are interested.

Al Jazeera's Head to Head recordings

We have been invited again to bring students for the audience of the recording of Al Jazeera's Head to Head debate programme, recorded at the Oxford Union. The event is free but you need to sign up through me and you will need signed parental permission if you are under 18.

You need to let me know at least 10 days in advance if you intent to go (and you must show up - or they'll have empty seats in the recording and stop inviting us!!)

You will need to let me know by Friday if you want to come on 10th June. You will meet us there on St Michael's street (off Cornmarket) at 6.30pm. Email me for more info on the topics.

Thanks, Miss Gleen
