The Scottish Play By Anabel Laus
On Friday 17th February, the years 7, 8 and 9 students had a great experience watching a brilliant production of Macbeth at the Manoel. The teachers of English Ms Laus, Ms Szatkowska and Mr Schermbrucker had organized activities in the days leading to the play, including getting students to create a main character profile, discussing prominent themes such as ambition, guilt, loyalty, and fate vs free will. Students were also assigned an Angels vs Devils activity, during which 'the angels' needed to come up with convincing arguments about why Macbeth should not kill Duncan, and 'the devils' were to argue about why he should. Both students and teachers really enjoyed watching the play! Given the enthusiastic response, the Department of English looks forward to organising similar activities in the future. This year’s Sponsored Walk is just round the corner! Finally free of all Covid 19 restrictions, this year we are going back to our routes. At the moment, teachers and sports masters alike are scouting out the routes and preparing the backup such as the first aid vehicles. Last year we raised money for the table tennis tables which have proved to be a huge success. This year we would like to set up an Obstacle Course which will hone stamina and muscle power (Little Ninjas, anyone?)
PLEASE GIVE GENEROUSLY AND ATTEND
