Christian drama group stages week of theatre

In yer face 2

As part of Wilmslow High School's initiative to further expand links with the community, the Social Studies team organised a week-long visit from Christian drama group, 'In Yer Face', in liaison with St. John's Church in Wilmslow.

Over the course of the week the dynamic group of four actors have been performing in assemblies and workshops for Religious Studies students in Years 7 to 10, covering issues ranging from; life choices and God to prejudice and world suffering.

At the end of each session, students were given the option of taking a copy of the New Testament, courtesy of the Gideon Society.

Their unusual approach to promoting their religion has proved thought-provoking for staff and students alike. Layla Rajah, Curriculum Team Leader at Wilmslow High School said, "It is refreshing to have a religious group in school who present topical issues in such an entertaining way.

"We feel it is important for our students to be exposed to many different viewpoints and beliefs during their time at our school, so that they leave us as well-informed young people, capable of making educated choices in their own life."
