'People were coming up to us and offering various services for the school and we have made lots of new contacts which is wonderful. We have had prefects and Year 9 students at the show and as they have been chatting to the visitors about their work it has been a tremendous boost to their confidence,' said Miss Lee.
She said it has been an excellent way for the work of the school to be brought out of the classroom and given a wider showing. Consideration is now to be given to staging such a show twice-yearly during summer and in the run-up to Christmas.
