The Breconian LENT 2025
Editor’s Note Hello, I am excited to bring you the Lent Term issue of ‘The Breconian’.
Musician of the Year 2025
Each term, we aim to demonstrate the key aspects that make Christ College so special. This issue is filled with many exciting events that have taken place, achievements that have been made, and insightful pupil contributions. You’ll find a special feature in our ‘Captains Corner’ , where this year’s Captains and ‘Head’s of’ express what their role means to them. As well as a ‘Hub Appreciation’ feature, demonstrating how important the Sixth Form Hub is to the school. This newsletter reflects the many talents across the school. From music, drama, sport, and academic achievements, this issue has it all! All aspects of school life have been very busy, and hopefully you will recognise how much we’ve accomplished, and see the countless opportunities experienced. I am thrilled to share this issue with you, and I cannot wait to see what the term ahead holds.
