Technical Assistance Group (TAG)
 We meet every Wednesday between 3pm-4pm in the
 Drama Studio and learn about the technical side of
 theatre, and welcome students from all year groups.
 This term we have focused on the CAT Gala with
 the team providing the sound and lighting and back
 stage help for the Creative Arts and Technology
 Gala. To enhance the quality of our sound desk, we
 hired professional wireless headset microphones for
 the cast; this meant that there were some very quick
 microphone changeovers which the team organised
 very professionally. The new lighting system looked
 fantastic and our aim now is for more of the students
 to learn how to operate the new lighting desk.
 The whole team worked really hard for the Gala and I
 would like to thank them for their dedication.

History
Have you seen the two-part BBC documentary The
Holocaust, My Family and Me? It followed five second
or third generation British Jews on a journey to
discover the Holocaust related past of their families.
The programme was fronted by Robert Rinder, who
traced his grandparents’ families’ stories as well
as the stories of several other families. We have
been selected, along with another fifteen schools,
to participate in an enrichment project with Royal
Wootton Basset Academy, the BBC and Wall to Wall
Media. We have chosen twenty Year 9 students to
immerse themselves in the story of Bernie Graham,
who followed his grandparents’ and uncles’ story.
The idea is this project becomes ‘The Holocaust,
their Family, Me (the students) and Us (the school)’

understanding of this controversial event and at the
