Social Programme
The college has a lively social programme which includes discos, movie nights,
an international evening and other varied creative activities as well as end
of term parties and day trips to various cities in the UK. Many
of the activities are free of charge, though students are asked
to contribute towards some of them. Students elect their own representatives
to form a Student Committee so their views on activities can be
expressed.
There is also the weekly sports programme at the Bath Leisure
Centre where all the students are encouraged to get involved in
something. Throughout the year, the students can play football,
badminton, netball, table tennis, basketball and tennis.
International Evening 2007
Saturday, March 10th saw Bath
Academy students and staff,
gather at the Green Park Brasserie
for the Academy's annual International
Evening. A wide range of nationalities
was represented, including
China, Vietnam, Qatar, Iran,
Nigeria, Zambia, Kazhakstan,
Malaysia. Dubai, Seychelles,
Kenya, and Tunisia.
Performances ranged from a
recital on the santoor, a traditional
Iranian stringed instrument,
to a Spanish Duet and the teachers
even got involved by singing
some barbershop classics! For
the finale, everyone joined
in with a rendition of John
Lennon's Imagine, lead by Payam.
Some
of the students came dressed
in their finest traditional
clothes, and prizes were given
to the best dressed girl and
boy, who were Abu and Fidelia
from Nigeria and Zambia. The
prize for the best performance,
a meal for two at the Firehouse
Rotisserie, went to Payam
for his santoor playing. The
night was rounded off with
a hot snack buffet and dancing
to the Soundmaster DJ's until
peoples legs got tired.
Special thanks goes out to
everyone who was involved in
organising the event and to
all the performers. It was definitely
a memorable evening!
Dinner Dance 2006
On the evening of the 11 November, Bath Academy hosted their Winter
Dinner Dance at the historic Guild Hall in Bath. Over one hundred
students and staff attended the event. with the girls looking extremely
glamorous in theor gorgeous dresses and guys in their sharp suits.
A mention should go to Fahad and Mohammed from Qatar who looked
wonderful in their full traditional dress!
It was a night to remember with plenty of great food, fantastic
music and a whole lot of dancing! A special thanks to all of our
Euroclass students from Norway who were the stars of the dance
floor!
Halloween Night 2006
31st October was Halloween Night and those students in the Oxford
hostel got to try their hand at the tradition of pumpkin carving!
Well done to Onyinye who won the prize for the best pumpkin! Some
also made themselves up into vampires and ghouls and went out trick
or treating coming back with a horde of goodies!
Trip to Bristol 2006
On 28 October, a gang of us hopped on the train to Bristol to spend
the day taking in the sights and sounds of our bigger neighbour,
and in particular the award winning @Bristol attraction.
First up was a journey through the Wildwalk -
an undercover living rainforest, teeming with tropical plants and
birds. There were plenty of creepy crawlies to get up close and personal
with too, the favourite being the handsized tarantula! Another spectacular
sight was the walk through living coral reef, complete with an array
of colourful tropical fish.
After a bite to eat it was then time to sit back and enjoy the wonders
of Sharks in 3D at the IMAX Theatre.
We swam amongst jelly fish, mantarays and turtles and watched in
awe as the sharks came within touching distance. After all that wildlife
we went out to explore the trendy shops and markets of Bristol, and
see what bargains we could pick up. Some even came back armed with
boxes of real Chinese noodles from the Chinese supermarket. Even
the rain didn't hamper the days events and a good time was had by
all.

Summer Ball 2006
In line with Bath Academy’s tradition, the Summer Ball was
held at the historic Guild Hall. The turn out was excellent with
everyone looking their best in black tie and a stunning range of
gowns. During the reception drinks, photo sessions took place before
people made their way through to be seated for the 4 course dinner
in the magnificent banqueting hall. Guests were served with an array
of mouth watering dishes and the meal was rounded off with a short
speech by the Vice Principal, Mr Brown.
After dinner, the live band took centre stage and played right
through the evening to the energetic crowds on the dance floor.
