The Parents' Association Fireworks Night at St John’s College School always marks the real start of winter and is one of the most splendid displays in the area. This year parents, children and friends came out in large numbers to marvel at the rockets and Catherine Wheels in a cold, clear sky.
There is something quite special as a young child to be out late in the dark with your friends. As you looked across the playing fields the air was full of laughter, smoke and glowing bracelets. There was a huge attendance this year and credit goes to all those involved in the organising and helping on the night.
Mr Alex Wright, Chair of the PA, said, “This was a great collective effort from staff and volunteers to put on such an impressive display for the whole school. It was a big enough to light up the whole city! It was lovely to have the whole school share an event together.” Catering Manager, Mr Richard Goldby, and his team worked hard to provide lovely hotdogs, hot chocolate, doughnuts and drinks while Facilities Manager, Mr Tom Street, and his crew kept everyone safe. The evening was wrapped up by 8.30pm with last minute hot chocolate and doughnuts consumed.
