On Thursday, 2nd November a group of year 8 students travelled to Camden Civic Centre to view Mater Dei’s Annual School Performance titled ‘School of Rock N Roll’. This allowed our Magdalene students, along with primary and secondary schools in the area, to enjoy some very entertaining musical performances which had us rocking along.

Here’s what a few of our students had to say about the experience:

The Mater Dei concert was a truly amazing experience. All the acts were outstanding with exceptional courage and talent displayed by each of the performers. Who could forget all the catchy tunes and choruses? An added bonus was that I got to share this phenomenal experience with my friends. It was a sensational event that I will recall for many years to come.

Thursday's excursion was great fun. The fact that we got to see Mater Dei perform was amazing. I personally really enjoyed it because it was nice to see one of our "cousin schools" put in a lot of time and effort to perform in front of multiple schools.

The presence of a supportive community made the experience heartwarming for everyone involved, including the students at Mater Dei. Being one of the students who got to attend and take in the entertaining speeches, loads of enjoyable songs and dances, and every moment in between made me feel privileged. I will always look back on this day and tell everyone how great it was since it was an amazing experience .

The year 8 students who attended the day represented Magdalene exceptionally and it is wonderful to see how thankful each student was for the opportunity to attend the day.
