Heartfelt Singing at Memorial Service

The college community was deeply saddened to learn of the death of sixth form student Gabrielle Verdin. 

Gabrielle was a highly respected member of our community, and her loss is very much felt by all. 

Members of the College Chamber Choir sang at the memorial service for Gabrielle and were very honoured to have been present and to support her family and friends. The service was held at Blessed Sacrament Church. The chamber choir performed a special arrangement of ‘Diamonds’ by Rihanna and ‘Love Story’ by Taylor Swift specially arranged by the college’s Vocal Director Mrs Newton, who also conducted the ensemble. The performance of the choir was uplifting, inspirational and reflective.

As a tribute to Gabrielle the College Chamber Choir sang both songs at our recent “Celebration of the Arts” evening. The videos can be found below.

Eternal rest grant unto to her, O Lord, 
and let perpetual light shine upon her. 
May the souls of all the faithful departed, 
through the mercy of God, rest in peace. 
Amen
