Can you hit the right note?
20,000+ students • 31 schools • 13 countries • 1 Global Orchestra
Are you ready to play your part?
We are bringing together our finest young musicians and singers in our first ever Global
Orchestra performing in New York this summer!
Whether you have the voice of an angel or you are a violin virtuoso, we invite you to showcase your
talents and audition for our ensemble. Our Global Orchestra will consist of a choir, soloists and instrumental
ensembles who will join together in New York this June for an exclusive week long residential programme ending
with a public performance. You will participate in inspiring workshops and practice sessions guided by experts, watch
performances by elite artists and be immersed in the city’s arts culture. You will also develop your creativity,
confidence and collaboration skills as you work with and learn from each other.
Auditions will take place in our 31 schools around the world in March. The top performers from each school will be invited
to share a recorded audition with a global judging panel who will select three young musicians and singers from each
school to join our international ensemble. If you’re interested in finding out more talk to your music department today!
You and your passports
An amazing 91
say you want th % of you
e passport
next year.
Now that most of you have your passports, it’s safe to say... you love them! It seems to help
you know what’s on the Global Classroom as well as highlighting how you learn new things
and connect with others around the world. Here’s a few pictures of the passport in action
and some quotes from you…
“ I think the Passport helps you to do things that you wouldn’t do on Global
Classroom otherwise. I think it is perfect.”
“ I find it’s useful as I look at all the zones otherwise I would just stick to the zones I like best.”
“ The passport gives you a goal to reach so encourages you to go on GC.”
How could it be improved?
“If you get maybe 3 or more stamps you might get fake money. Then with
the fake money you can exchange it for extra break or something!”
What a great idea! Maybe you can ask your teachers how they can
recognise the use of the passport within the school community.
It’s been great to hear your thoughts on the Primary Passport.
You can still have your say – just look for the button on the Global
Classroom and take the survey to improve future passports.
