Merry Christmas to everyone from staff and pupils of Williamwood High School. The Performing Arts department wanted to spread some Christmas cheer since we are missing out on the usual festivities this year. Many thanks to all who took part, and to Ryan Smith (S3) for editing the video for us.   Video can be viewed here.
