TCW Showcase 2023

The main event of the TCW school year - the Showcase is a chance for students to perform in any way they wish in front of a live audience. In the past, we have enjoyed a range of talents from students of all ages and abilities. From singing, dance and comedy, to film production, poetry reading and instrument recitals, this nurturing show has it all. Many of our students have never been on stage before, so if you are nervous, we are here to support you. Many students also produce videos to be played at the Showcase, if they prefer not to perform live. Speak to your teacher, email Jack - jack.laffargue@tcw.org.uk - for more information.

We are proud to announce the return of the TCW Magazine! As always, the magazine will be produced and edited by students, overseen by our Creative Engagement Coordinator - Jack. If you are interested in writing, photography, editing or graphic design, we would love to have you join our team of student creators. We welcome students of all ages and experience levels. This is a great way to connect with other students with similar interests and to gain experience that could help with future college applications. Most importantly it is a lot of fun!

Tree Care

Last term, we planted a number of trees at a site near Tower Bridge. These need ongoing care in order to grow happily. Would you like to make a trip to the site to care for the saplings? The site is a twenty-minute walk from the Creative Hub, or the Bermondsey Hub.
