Choral Workshop and Concert

 On Thursday 18th April the Middle School Chapel Choir joined forces with Hollingbourne Primary School Choir for a workshop and concert. Meeting at 1.30pm, they had just 2 hours to learn 4 pieces of music and perform them in chapel in front of family and friends. This they did extremely well, having worked hard throughout the workshop. The afternoon finished with tea for all! A great afternoon of music making!

The programme was –

Laudate Dominum – Taize Chant

Standing in the Need of Prayer – Trad Spiritual

The Lord is My Shepherd (Theme from The Vicar of Dibley) – Howard Goodall

Jerusalem - Parry

The Rededication of St George's Chapel on the occasion of its centenary.

We were privileged to welcome the Bishop of Rochester on Friday 16th November.

Bishop James attended two services with the younger boys and answered questions about his ‘job’! At 5pm he attended the Senior School service, blessing the restored altar frontal and new organ.

The main purpose of his visit was to celebrate the centenary of St George’s Chapel and he spoke powerfully of the bricks, beams and mortar of the building which had seen so many boys pass through; boys who had the power to change the world for the better.
