Live at the Piazza

The Piazza is a central hub for the College that connects the Primary and Secondary Schools and includes an amphitheatre-style setting for students to enjoy their lunch while listening to the sounds of our performers. 'Live at the Piazza' happens every month and is popular amongst students. Here are a few photos from their performances.
