The Big Sing 2013 at Oathall

30th June 2013Oathall

Students from local primary schools joined students from Oathall Community College in raising the roof with their beautiful performance of Emile Sande’s “See Beneath You’re Beautiful” accompanied by members of the school orchestra and special guest, cellist Hannah Carter.

This was followed by the energetic Afro Blues rendition of “Obatala” arranged specially for the event by Martijn Van Galen. Head of Vocal Studies for West Sussex, Emily Barden, led the two hundred and fifty voice choir including an inspirational performance “Oh My Day”, which was beautifully sung in three parts. We admired the talents of all the young performers and especially those who stood up on stage with the senior students to lead the performances and the young man who played the keyboard.
You can listen to the performances via the link below. We hope that you enjoy listening to it as much as we enjoyed making it!

Parallel Games Students

Well done to all of the Year 9 students that volunteered at the Parallel Youth Games at the Triangle in Burgess Hill. The games are a disability event for all schools in Sussex and children take part in a range of activities from New Age Kurling to Cricket.  Oathall’s Year 9 students officiated in the Boccia and played their part in making the event both enjoyable and successful.

Year 8 student Luc Rohan took part as a competitor in the Mid-Sussex swimming team.  Our congratulations go to Luc who achieved two 1st places and one 2nd place in his events, leading to a gold medal for the Mid Sussex Team. Luc will now start training for the athletics at the Sussex School Games finals at K2 on Wednesday 10th July. (more…)

Oathall students were thrilled when their four-year-old  Ayrshire dairy cow Oathall Rusty 10 was judged to be Ayrshire champion and reserve dairy champion at the recent Heathfield show, for the second year in succession. Rusty won three trophies including:

  • The Dinah Bridge Perpetual Challenge Trophy for the champion Ayrshire
  • The Blockfield Perpetual Challenge Cup for the best recorded heifer or cow
  • The Agrifactors Perpetual Challenge Trophy for the Reserve Dairy Champion.
  • Oathall students also showed the best Ayrshire dairy calf for Mr and Mrs Dr Heasman, winning the Ayrshire cattle club Perpetual Tankard.

They are now looking forward to the South of England show when they will be displaying their cattle and pigs together with a show garden.
