JGHS Chamber Choir will be joining them on stage for the finale and one other item.  The Chamber Choir would like to invite any pupil past or present to join them for this event with the Dloko Choir.  Rehearsals will be happening in the next few weeks.  If you would like to be involved please come to a meeting during lunchtime on Thursday.   The publicity blurb says that the choir’s performance will ‘move you to tears of sadness and joy.’ This statement is absolutely true and those staff and pupils who have been involved in the South Africa project can testify to this statement.   It has been discussed that JGHS staff and pupils can get tickets at the concession rate.  The money raised from ticket sales will fund local community projects tackling poverty through the Jabulani Charity.   Date 12-14 August 2014 Time 19:55 Duration 1 hour Venue The Assembly Rooms S1 – S6   Edinburgh Schools Mountain Bike Championships   Anyone interested to take part in the inaugural Edinburgh Schools Mountain Bike Championships on Sunday 15th June, at Liberton High Schools new mountain bike track, please come and pick up a flyer with entry details from the P.E.
