Bishop's School for Choristers

The Bishop's School for Choristers is a long standing institution within the Diocese of Qu'Appelle, having completed its 44th year of operation. The School gives young people the opportunity to sing choral music, to learn a challenging repertoire of fine choral works, and to develop friendships with other children who enjoy singing. The school is hosted by All Saints Anglican Church and runs for a period of one week each year. During choir school week, choristers enjoy periods of singing interspersed with recreation times; and a swim at Massey Pool ends each day. The week includes a trip to Qu'Appelle House where the choristers sing for the residents and also includes a talent night. The choir school ends with the participation of the choristers in two church services (one morning and one afternoon) where they sing the repertoire that they have learned.

The following table provides information about the school's operations for the 2004 to 2006 period:

Respectfully submitted,
Morina Rennie
