African Children's
Choir
St Mary’s Ardmore will be hosting
an evening of music by the African Children's Choir
on Sunday 13th September at 7.30pm.
The African Children’s Choir is comprised of
23 African children, ages seven to eleven. Each child
in the choir has lost one or both of their parents
to poverty or AIDS. This years choir members come
from South Africa.
The concert includes well loved children’s
songs, popular gospel tunes and lively spirituals.
Through their songs and dances, the Choir brings Africa
alive, in all its colour and splendour creating a
truly unforgettable musical experience.
The African Children’s Choir™ is the
ambassador for Africa’s neediest, most vulnerable
children. The Choir shows the world that its members,
like the millions of abandoned and traumatised children
in Africa, have beauty, dignity and unlimited potential.
Since 1984, the Choir’s message has reached
many millions of people across North America and Europe
and as far a field as Australia. Through the excellence
of their performances they have raised substantial
sums of money. This supports both the commitment of
the organization to the ongoing care and education
of the Choir children themselves and funds the education
and welfare of many thousands of children in some
of Africa’s most troubled and needy areas.
To date the work of the Choir has extended from its
beginnings in Uganda to Rwanda, Kenya, Nigeria, Ghana,
Southern Sudan and most recently Nkomazi in the northern
border region of South Africa. It targets children
whose lives can be changed by the chance to receive
the care and quality education that brings freedom
from poverty and hopelessness.

door. For further details visit www.africanchildrenschoir.com

GCSE Results
2009
On behalf of everyone associated with
the school, I would like to extend congratulations
to our pupils and their parents on the tremendous
pass rates in the recent GCSE Examinations. From our
analysis, the results are the best ever in the history
of the school. Indeed over 10% of our Year 12 pupils
achieved a staggering 10 GCSE’s at grades A*
to C. Congratulations again to all concerned and we
wish you continued success in the future.
