2009 CHOBA Carol Concert - review & photos
The fifth annual CHOBA Carol Concert took place on Thursday 17th December at the Church of St Andrew in Holborn. We had an excellent turn out with 120 guests and a choir of some 25 strong.
At 6pm prompt our Master of Ceremonies, Adrian Bawtree, called us to order and welcomed us to the concert. We started with an old favourite, O Come All Ye Faithful, to get everyone in the mood and following a reading by Andrew Howgego continued with the carols: Good King Wenceslas, God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen, The Twelve Days of Christmas and Hark, The Herald Angels Sing.
The programme also allowed for some choir solos, further readings by Rhiannon Fisher and Nick Angel and as befits a CH concert, the singing was of a very high standard.
Adrian Bawtree worked wonders with the choir in the very short rehearsal period and Peter Dutton did a fantastic job from the organ loft!.
We finished not, as in previous years, with much standing up and sitting down to “The Twelve Days of Christmas”, but instead to a rousing version of Hark, The Herald Angels Sing.
Following the hearty singing was the good cheer in the form of the mulled wine and mince pies and for many on to the pub for a few more!
A big thank you from the CHOBA Board to all who gave up their time to make this event happen, which makes this flagship event an opportunity for mingling, renewing old acquaintances, sharing anecdotes and memories and officially starting Christmas!
Photos from the evening are now available in the 2009 Carol Concert Photo Gallery
CH Summer 2009 GCSE Results
Christ’s Hospital, pupils recorded their best ever results at GCSE level this year with a record 95% of all entries being at A*, A or B grade and 80% of entries at A* or A grade.
The overall pass rate at A*-C was 99% which is particularly pleasing given Christ’s Hospital’s focus on the more demanding academic subjects, modern languages and science.
45 pupils from a cohort of 109 obtained all A or A* grades.
The Head Master, Mr John Franklin was delighted with these results and said,
“Our GCSE pupils have done very well this year and have given themselves an excellent academic foundation on which they can build a successful programme of study at A Level and beyond.”
“We extend our congratulations to these pupils for their excellent grades and the hard work over the past year that went into them.”
