A Musical Extravaganza in Vienna!

On Sunday 14th July eighty music students and staff travelled to Vienna for the 2019 Music Tour. The musicians had a fantastic experience when they performed a concert at the historic and prestigious St Stephen’s Cathedral.  Our students also performed at the Doblhoff Park Music Festival and underneath the big wheel at the amusement park in Prater Park! This was an amazing opportunity for the students to perform at such diverse venues. The group also visited a number of local attractions during their visit, including a walk in the grounds of Belvedere Palace, trips to the Opera House and Hofburg, a cruise along the River Danube and a visit to Schoenbrunn Palace. The tour members even managed to experience the rides at Prater Park before their performance there later that day!

Music teacher Mr Butterfield said; “The students performed at their very best and each concert had its own unique atmosphere, from reverence and awe in St. Stephens Cathedral to joy and excitement in Prater Theme Park.“

Please see the photo gallery below for photographs of the tour.

Year 8 Swimmers Make Waves at County Championships

We are delighted to announce that two of our Year 8 pupils, Sam C and Grace F, have achieved significant success in the pool, qualifying for and competing at the prestigious County Swimming Championships. Qualification for Counties is a major milestone in the swimming world. To be eligible, swimmers must achieve strict published qualifying times and rank within the top 25 competitors in their age group across the entire county. Both students have demonstrated exceptional talent to reach this elite standard. Sam has secured his place in an incredible variety of events, demonstrating his versatility across both sprints and long-distance endurance races. Representing Berkhamsted Swim Club, Sam will be competing at the Westminster Lodge Leisure Centre in St Albans throughout January. His comprehensive schedule includes: Freestyle: 50m, 100m, 200m, 400m, 800m, and 1500m Butterfly: 50m, 100m, and 200m Individual Medley: 100m, 200m, and 400m Matching this high standard of performance is Grace F, who represents the U13 age group. Grace has already secured a fantastic 9th place ranking in the county for the 100m breaststroke. Beyond this individual success, Grace is a dedicated member of Ricky Swim Club and a vital part of the SCD team, regularly representing the school in the Herts League. Reaching this level requires a sustained and high level of commitment. Over the past eight months, both swimmers have balanced intense training schedules and regular licensed galas alongside their academic studies. Their success is a testament not only to their athletic ability but also to their discipline and excellent time management. Please join us in congratulating Grace on her top10 ranking and wis
