Karl Jenkins - the composer works
with Howell's School Choir
Karl Jenkins and Mrs Phillips with Choir rehearsing
for Christmas Presence in the Octagon rehearsal room whilst
being televised for the news by HTV. |
All the hard work was rewarded for the Howell’s
School Senior Choir when they joined the conductor Owain Arwel
Hughes, The Royal Philharmonic Orchestra and the Ardwyn Singers
for a celebration of Christmas Music at the brand new Wales
Millennium Centre in Cardiff in early December.
It was a pleasure to have the opportunity to perform in this
new magnificent venue and the choir were delighted to include
in their programme a new commissioned work composed by the renowned
Welsh composer Karl Jenkins. |

| Many congratulations
to the cast and technical crew of Daisy Pulls it Off for
an evening of absolutely spiffing entertainment. Their commitment
and enthusiasm throughout the rehearsals paid off as they performed
splendidly to a full house on each evening. A special mention must
be given to Lucy James whose talent and stamina were inspiring. We
now look forward to next term’s House drama in the Eisteddfod and
an evening entertainment provided by our very talented Sixth form. |

Links
This year Howell’s has formed a link
with Likhakeng High School in Lesotho. Organised by the charity
Dolen Cymru established in 1985, Miss Brewer (Head of French)
visited Lithakeng in February. The school hosted a visit to
Wales for Mr Patrick Mojarane the Deputy Principal; so far
we have collected books and stationery and this academic year
are raising funds to equip a new science lab for the school.

Awards
for Howell's
at the English Speaking Union
|
|
The area round of the ESU Public Speaking Competition took
place on at Rougemont School, Newport. Howell’s was represented by
Eleanor (chair), Lara (speaker) and Varsha (voter of thanks); Lara
spoke on the subject of global warming. Such was the conviction of
Lara’s speech and with the excellent support of her team mates, Eleanor
and Varsha, we were declared the winners, beating stiff competition
from, amongst others, Christ College Brecon and St Julian’s Newport.
Support for the teams was enthusiastic and the standard of public
speaking very high. We now look forward to going through to the All
Wales Final. |
