Enthusiasm, talent and interest are all important in the musical life of the College. Groups such as the various choirs and instrumental groups offer performance opportunities for a large number of musicians. Under the itinerant music teachers’ scheme there are lessons available for voice and for a number of instruments; these places are always keenly sought.
One of the highlights of the cultural year is the Bishop Lyons competition held with the other Catholic schools in the diocese. Regular interschool debates give students plenty of opportunities to develop their speaking and debating skills.
