The Artrix’s TC Peppercorn, and Catshill Middle School headteacher Paul Essenhigh enjoy an evening in front of the big screen
CHILDREN at Catshill Middle School were given something of a treat recently, as the Artrix brought its cinema all the way out to their school for a night at the movies.
About 200 children from the school got to watch their own chosen film, fantasy adaptation Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief on the big screen.
This is the first time the new huge new state of the art mobile screen and projection equipment has been used in the community, and TC Peppercorn, education and outreach co-ordinator for the Artrix was thrilled with how well it worked.
She said: “Our very first outing of the new equipment took place without a hitch, and I was absolutely delighted to see the enjoyment on the faces of the audience, it makes our job very worthwhile.”
The evening went down well with both the pupils and the teachers, and headteacher, Paul Essenhigh added: “We are delighted with the attendance and positive comments that we received from pupils and parents alike.
“The pupils enjoyed the film as well as a break from their usual routine and it has ensured that our school year has commenced with an exciting start.”
