What’s On
Get Ready for Our School’s Debut at the 2nd Pancyprian Competition Robotic Day & First Tech Challenge Cyprus 2023!
This will be our school's first time competing in the event at the Agios Dometios Sports Centre on the 11th and 12th of March from 9 am to 6 pm.
We wish our students the best of luck and are proud to have them represent our school in this prestigious competition. We would also like to extend our gratitude to Mr Stelios Theodosiou and Ms Thekla Papastavrou for their unwavering support and guidance in preparing our students for the competition.
Be sure to mark your calendars and come out to cheer on our talented students as they showcase their skills and creativity in the field of robotics. We hope to see you there!
The music composition workshop, which took place earlier this term, was an incredible experience for our students. Through Mr Aletras' guidance and expertise, they learned how to effectively compose music that enhances the emotions and storytelling in films. His many years of experience in the industry provided a valuable resource for our students, allowing them to gain a deeper understanding of the creative process of film scoring.
One of the workshop's highlights was the hands-on experience that Mr Aletras provided in composing and orchestrating their own short film scores. This allowed students to experiment with various instruments and techniques and develop their own unique styles. Mr Aletras' encouragement of this experimentation helped our students to find their own voice and take their first steps towards becoming accomplished composers.
Overall, the workshop was an invaluable experience for our GCSE music students. It offered them an insight into the world of film scoring that they may not have had access to and allowed them to learn from a successful and experienced composer. We are grateful to Mr Aletras for his time and expertise, and we look forward to offering similar opportunities to our students in the future.
If you want to learn more about music composition, film scoring, or any other aspect of music education, we encourage you to explore the many available resources. With dedication and hard work, you, too, can become a successful composer and make your mark in the music world.
