It was a very hot day but students were extremely professional! One of our Year 10 GCSE Music bands performed at the Bolton Refugee Event at Victoria Halls as part of an ‘entertainment day’ for refugees and asylum seekers. Students performed a 20 minute acoustic set and stayed to eat, chat and even dance with others!
