All Junior students attended workshops on Thursday. The actor Michael gave three very different workshops to each of the year groups. First Years enjoyed an anti-bullying drama called “The Bully Brady”. Second Years had an anti-drugs workshop called “Hooked” and Third Years were encouraged to live positively in their drama called “Breathe”.
