Hereworth School

The choir is an integral part of the Hereworth school community. Auditions are held at the commencement of each school year. A Head Chorister and Deputy Head Chorister are duly appointed. Currently we have 43 boys in the Chapel Choir.

As a member of St. James Chapel Choir boys are expected to attend weekly choir practices on a Tuesday afternoon and attend three Chapel Services a term.

Throughout the school year the choir is often called upon to perform at events held in the local community e.g. The Kids Sing, entertaining at the Havelock North Community Centre and local retirement villages. A Choral camp is held in the first week of Term 4 in preparation for Carol services at the end of term. A biennial tour is also held where the choir travels away to perform in another city. The St. James Chapel choir was invited to sing with the Wellington Cathedral Choir for the Battle of Britain Service.  In October 08 the choir produced their first C.D. which was available for Christmas. The choir has also been  involved  with the Hospice Holly Trail fundraiser and sing at the two carol services held at St. Luke’s Church, Havelock North in December each year.
