Glued to TV screens


MEMBERS and supporters o f a local school choir will be scanning their television screens a t 9-45 on Sunday morning, when the wi­


dely-acclaimed St Augustine’s RC High School choir appears on BBC One’s “First Light” reli­ gious programme. The choir will sing “ A F a ir World,” the final


song from "Arabica” , wr itten and composed by teachers Mr I’cler Rose and Mrs Anne Conlon.


Mr Rose is the head of music a t SI Augus­
