Group of yr 9 students from SJP took part in a series of workshops at Hope University to explore their creativity. Contributors included Tate Liverpool, LIPA, Liverpool Philharmonic, Fact Education) and Mastered (film/art/technology). Students particularly enjoyed the Liverpool Philharmonic session, where they worked on creating their own 'ear catching' pop song.

Students developed many skills, including planning, organisation, adapting and, as always, teamwork.
What a fantastic day celebrating World Book Day!

Staff and students brought stories to life by dressing up and heading over to our pop-up Photo Booth for a few snaps, with our very own World Book Day frame. Plus plenty of fun accessories, it was a great laugh, and the atmosphere around college was unreal all day.

Thank you to everyone who got involved.
