Saturday 19th January 2019 saw the very first Red Rose Stage Academy Awards at The Stumble Inn, Myerscough College.
The venue was decked out in red and gold, complimenting the colours of the trophies, sashes, medals and certificates. Almost all of the pupils attended with their families which created a real buzz in the atmosphere. We teachers especially enjoyed watching the children rekindle friendships that had been made during showtime by children whose classes don’t usually coincide.
After everyone had had chance to grab a quick drink and a catch up with friends, the award ceremony began.

After the named awards had been handed out, each pupil received certificates for the subjects that they had studied as well as a medal to celebrate their hard work and dedication throughout 2018. There was then an opportunity for friends and family to take their own photos which was followed by a celebration of dancing and chatting. One of my personal highlights of the evening was dancing away with some of the children (and their parents!) to the show tunes of ‘Jitterbugs 2018’ whilst one of our youngest members of the school accompanied us on the microphone. What a superstar!
A huge “THANK YOU!” to everyone who attended the evening for making it such a special occasion. I also want to say a special thank you to Si from MOP Photography for taking these stunning photos of the evening!
