It is that time of year again where we come together to celebrate the hard work and dedication of our young people in the Performing Arts Faculty. It is finally the return of our Christmas Concert and it is one not to be missed!

The concert will take place on the 15^th December at 7pm. Any donations collected at the door will be put into the school fund to further enhance the experience of our young people at Williamwood High School!

Mince pies will be available before the concert from 6:15pm, courtesy of our wonderful F&TT department.
