What Type Of Learner Are You?


If you are an Auditory Learner you:

·         Learn best by hearing.

·         Prefer to have things explained out loud than rather than to read it.

·         Say information out loud in order to learn or memorize it.

Spread The Word!

So Long, Saviours gig


Do you like Rock and alternative music?
Do you love the experience of a live band?
If the answer to these questions is yes, then you'll love "So Long, Saviours".

They are a 4-piece alternative band based on the Wirral, and play regular gigs at various venues in Liverpool. The band is full of talent, and they have supported well known and upcoming bands such as Hildamay and Surrender April.

The Band are Headlining the Picket in Liverpool on November 24th. It will be a really good night, the tickets are £5, and are obtainable from either Rob Courtney, Danny Bradshaw or Ieuan Routledge, all of whom are in year 11.

The doors open at 7pm, and the gig will finish around 11pm. The event may be a 16+ gig, and I will update the post with more details nearer the time.

To find the picket, get off the train at James Street station, and walk toward the O2 Arena. It is just off Jordan street, near the Anglican Cathedral.
