The Saint Maur International School high school drama club presents a new adaptation of Agatha Christie's "Murder on the Orient Express" Wednesday 11 Nov to Friday 13 Nov at 5 pm, Saturday 14 November at 1 p.m. and 5 p.m. with alternating casts.

The High School Drama Club had its first group rehearsal for this brand new adaptation of "Murder on the Orient Express" on Saturday. In adherence with COVID safety precautions, a new "dressing room" was created in the Fine Arts Centre foyer so that students could apply makeup and hair design with greater physical distancing and increased ventilation.

Last Wednesday, September 2, Saint Maur's Music Department held its first ever instrument fair. Students enrolled on the Grade 5-8 band program were able to compare and purchase models of shiny new wind and brass instruments brought in from one of Tokyo's leading music stores. Not only was this a great occasion for new families to visit the Music department, some of the instrumental teachers were also there in attendance, giving tips on instrument maintenance and instrumental lessons.

The weekend of November 29th and 30th was a truly memorable one for the Saint Maur community. The Fine Arts Department presented its production of "Beauty and the Beast" at three performances to over 600 audience members.

The IGCSE Music students were treated to a workshop and performance from a visiting Celtic harp player from France.

A group of Saint Maur's finest musicians were lucky enough to take part in a joint event with Futaba School yesterday. They were invited to a music master class with the internationally renowned Quattor Debussy string quartet from Lyon, France.

This year’s High School Drama Club production was an original adaptation by Nicolas Gregoriades, the Director of Fine Arts and Head of Drama at Saint Maur International School, of George Orwell’s dystopian classic “1984“. It featured three Winstons (the protagonist) and an ensemble of 16 actors who have been guided by Grade 10 student, Yuka, in some spectacular feats of physical theatre.
