The annual Rye Academy Summer Concert was a roaring success last night with the audience enjoying all aspects of music within the Academy with items from Rye Primary, Rye College and Studio School all presented in the Milligan Theatre. Guitar groups, string quartets and vocal solos, duets and ensembles celebrated the end of the school year. Anneliese Dale made special mention to all the parents and staff who had made the evening possible and thanked every single performer from age 5 to 19 for making music a part of their lives.

This is a new national competition for students in Years 8 and 9 who are learning French, Spanish or German. It follows on from the success of the Year 7 Spelling Bee. All French classes in Year 8 and 9 took part in stage 1, translating phrases aloud from English into French. Students needed to learn a range of verbs in past, present and future forms, and were marked on accuracy and pronunciation. Each competitor had one minute to translate as many phrases as possible. The winners from each class went forward to the whole school stage of the competition, where two clear champions won the chance to go to the next stage in London: Keziah in Year 8, and Sadie in Year 9. Keziah had to go first in the whole competition, with Sadie second, which was a bit daunting, but they stepped up to the challenge. Both competitors did Rye College proud, and enjoyed the whole experience, although on this occasion they did not manage to get through to the national final in Cambridge. Now our champions will help in training others for next year’s competition!
