College Chapel Bells Refurbished
For much of the past nine years very little noise has
emanated from the Bell-Tower. However, in January
2016 bell-ringing once again returned as an activity. Our
budding Fettesian campanologists are dedicated and
enthusiastic, enjoying the new skills they have learnt
from local bell-ringers. On Founder’s Day 2016, they were
delighted to ring the bells to announce Chapel, some 60
years after their predecessors first did so.
“I am delighted that donors have given us the
opportunity to offer such a unique and rewarding
activity for pupils which I hope will continue to go from
strength to strength in the years to come.”

THE DIFFERENCE GIFTS MAKE
Donations from our loyal and generous Fettes Community in 2015-2016 have made
a noticeable difference in a variety of areas. Each and every donation shows what
cumulative giving can achieve for Fettesians on a daily basis. Thank you to all of our
supporters who made the following projects possible.

Chapel Choir Tour to Hong Kong
Last summer the Fettes Chapel Choir journeyed to Hong
Kong for the Chapel Choir Tour, performing in a variety of
venues including St John’s Cathedral, All Saints’ Cathedral,
Chung Chi College Chapel (Chinese University) and
Diocesan Boys’ School. The Choir excelled themselves on
every level and have already been invited to go back!
“The tour to Hong Kong was the highlight of our singing
year.”

Pupils on the tour were lucky to receive support from the
Fettes Community when they were in Hong Kong. Thank
you to Urosh Teodorovich (Inv-Ki 2001-2008), Jerome Barty
Taylor (Inv-Ki 2000-2005), Andy Ng (Ki 2000-2004) and the
Galloway family to name just a few. Many would not have
had the opportunity to join the tour without the support
of donors, to whom we are tremendously grateful.
“It was fabulous to see so much of Hong Kong but our
musical achievements were amazing. We improved
so much during our tour and came back to the
new school year with higher standards and closer
friendships.”
