The Expressive Arts faculty would like to cordially invite you to our first Expressive Arts Showcase on Thursday 15^th June in the Theatre.  

Whilst viewing and bidding on Art and Photography work in a silent auction, you will be served canapes made by pupils from the Home Economics department and enjoy Music items from our wonderful musicians at Taylor High School. The Barista bar will be in full swing alongside a tuck shop to purchase some refreshments. Our raffle hamper is also looking like it will be full of fancy goodies for a lucky winner. If you can’t make it along for the main event in the evening, don’t despair, the silent auction begins at 4 pm.

Taylor High has had a long and distinguished history of providing a very positive and rewarding continuity programme for pupils and families within its associated primary schools as they make the transition to secondary school. We have always recognised the importance of providing as smooth and comfortable a path as possible for all pupils at this vital time in their school journey. Providing planned opportunities and experiences from as early as primary 6 whether within Taylor High or through staff visits has been seen as vital to the establishing of positive relationships as well as helping allay the fears of leaving primary school.

We look forward to offering this vital provision to all our primary 7 young people.

 

Mr G McQuaid (Depute Head Teacher)
