The RotaryGBI Young Musician competition encourages this talent by providing an opportunity for the thousands of young people who enter each year, to demonstrate their musical skills.
Starting with club level competitions, winners progress to district events followed by regional contests with the hope of progressing to the national final. There they compete to take home the prestigious title of RotaryGBI Young Musician of the year.

On Friday 20th April, our Year 8 students visited AIS Connect’s 20-acre industrial training village on North Tyneside to take part in the annual careers conference.
The purpose of the day is to prepare our students to make informed career choices for the future. The event highlights alternative careers pathways such as apprenticeships as well as the more traditional routes into employment.
The careers speed dating session involved the students grilling employers and Business Ambassadors from a range of local employment sectors to get a flavour of career pathways and typical working days.
The afternoon workshops were delivered by the Police, RAF and the Navy. The workshops highlighted all the different roles in various organisations as well as key skills needed to be successful and addressed common misconceptions.
Head of School at Newminster Middle School, Liz Kinninment said: “It is fantastic to be given the opportunity by AIS to bring our Year 8 students to an off-site career conference.
“At Newminster we’re committed to getting students to think about what they might want to do for a job in the future from a very early stage. Being able to offer our students the opportunity to experience a live working environment like this is invaluable. The experience certainly opened their eyes to the possibilities available and will hopefully help inspire their future career choices.”
Charlie Guthrie, marketing manager at AIS said: “We were delighted to welcome everyone to this Careers Conference. Inspiring people and helping them progress in their careers is something we do day-in, day-out so it was great to give pupils from Newminster School the chance to learn more about what’s available to them in the future if they work hard. We hope they went away believing the world is their oyster and anything is possible.”
The conference day was delivered in partnership with Northumberland Business and Education Partnership and AIS connect.
