High School Musical - The Musical - Rehearsal Updates

Whilst sitting in on one of the Drama Studio's latest production rehearsals of High School Musical - The Musical, which shows on Thursday the 8th and Friday the 9th of July at 7:30pm, in the west hall on the Town Campus, I was able to interview two actors and also got a glimpse of the enthusiastic acting of Dominic French as the tough Coach Bolton. I was able to hear his view on how the rehearsals were going so far and what he though of choreographer and director Mrs Slim and Miss Lancaster' The teacher's methods are effective, the other students work well and seem focused on the rehearsals, and the final result should be great'. I also got a few minutes to interview Tom Parker who plays Ryan Evans in the play. 'I'm glad I'm Ryan, I'm like him in real life so it's an easy role for me'. Being that the Drama students are 10 weeks into rehearsals and only have two and a half weeks left until the big show I asked how he coped with all the hours of rehearsal time, to which he replied.' At the end of the day I just get on with the acting, it's what I like to do and so it's fun for me and doesn't seem like a chore".

Ghana Visit

For the third year running, Clacton Coastal Academy has welcomed visiting teachers from our link school in the town of Kumasi in Ghana. We have welcomed Nightingale and Joseph from Opoku Ware Junior Secondary School, who visited for a week and also participated in many of the lessons at Clacton Coastal Academy. Various subjects they joined in with included: Maths, History, English, Religious Studies and many others. During this time Nightingale and Joseph contributed to our school lessons, interacting with the teachers and students. They both had the opportunity to meet the Mayor of Harwich, visit London and have the experience of watching Morris dancing as well as many more extra activities while they were here. All of this is part of an ongoing project funded by the British Council, which Clacton Coastal Academy and many other schools in the area are involved in. Hopefully this project will continue next year to grant the students and teachers of Clacton Coastal Academy and the link teachers from Ghana an even greater experience.
