Students from Montpelier High School took a trip back and forwards in time when they staged a fashion show entitled Colston to Phoenix.
They worked with Peg Squires, a fashion technician from UWE Bristol on the project, which celebrated the history of the school from its foundation in 1891 as Colston’s Girls’ School through the events of the 20th and 21st century, to its eventual re-naming and the launch of its phoenix logo.
A spokesperson said: “The aim of the night was to represent that only by reaching back and confronting the past and its relationship to the present can we face the future.”
As well as an in-school event for families, the show was also presented as a fundraiser for St Pauls Carnival, as part of St Pauls Carnival’s Back A Yard programme.
