St. Julie's has repeated last year's gold rush by securing two gold medals at the prestigious Liverpool Performing Arts Festival, 2010.

The annual festival draws thousands of performers from across the North West in a competitive spectacle of music, speech, drama and dance. This year the competition was held at St. George's Hall and St. Julie's entered 37 pupils in the drama categories. Year 7 once again gained a gold medal in the ‘Shakespeare' category for their performance of scenes from Macbeth. At the other end of the age range, Year 12 students won ‘Group Acting' gold for their gripping performance of scenes from ‘Salt of the Earth'.

Strong performances also secured a bronze medal for Year 10 pupils Niamh McCallum and Isabella Richardson for their duologue performance of scenes from ‘Top Girls'.

Mrs. Doherty, Head of Expressive Arts, said: "I'm delighted that we have sustained our success in this prestigious and competitive Liverpool Festival, and the prizes are a reflection of the huge amount of preparatory work that the students have undertaken. This year's standard has been very high from all schools and it is particularly pleasing to win awards across such a wide age range, from Year 7 through to Year 12."

Mr. Alderman, Head Teacher Designate, said: "I have been following the many successes of the students very closely and this is another example of the great talent that is characteristic of the students at St Julie's. They are a great credit to their parents and teachers."
