Sixth Former Sends Video Message to Afghanistan

Tuesday, 23 February 2010 09:30

There are currently 380 members of the 1st Battalion Royal Anglian Regiment, nicknamed the Vikings, fighting in Afghanistan. One of those soldiers currently serving in the country is ex Sprowston Community High school student Stefan Marchese. Stefan was recently sent a video message from his girlfirend Emily, currently a sixth form student here at Sprowston.

Emily told the EDP “I get one phone call a week from him if I'm lucky. It can be hard because I think about him all the time and look forward to hearing from him but it's not always possible. He can't talk much about what he's doing out there but I know they go out on patrol a lot.

“He seems happy enough and tries to cheer me up whenever he rings Some days I just miss him so much and other days I find myself worried sick about him I'm just looking forward to having him home."

Visit the EDP website to read more about how the Viking Family Support Group have sent video messages to their nearest and dearest.

Help Ella-Grace - Concert Saturday 27 February

Many of you will have heard about the case of Ella Grace Honeyman, a local toddler who is struggling with a life threatening brain condition. Ella-Grace's family have been offered a lifeline in the form of a revolutionary operation in America carried out by the leading specialist in this field. However, they are seeking to raise the thousands of pounds necessary to finance this operation.

As a school we feel privileged and proud to offer our support to Ella-grace's family. We are working with a group of semi professional singers from Norfolk, Essex and Suffolk,the "Pyramid Singers" to stage a major concert to raise monies. The concert, will be themed around songs from Broadway and the West End and will feature a stunning range of songs from a wide range of our favourite musicals. In addition to performances from the Pyramid Singers, we are delighted that a number of our own students will be performing solos, duets and taking part in medleys and choruses.

The concert will take place on Saturday February 27th at 7.30pm in the School Hall. Tickets are priced at £8 and £5 for concessions. Tickets are available from the school office.
