YEAR 8 CELEBRATION EVENING
Well done to all our certificate award winners in Year 8
GIRLS CRICKET FESTIVAL AT ARUNDEL CASTLE
23 of our KS3 girls were invited to a day of fun, teamworking and cricket at Arundel castle. Some top class women’s cricket was on view as the British Army, Royal Navy & RAF battled it out on the pitch whilst the girls also got the chance to try problem solving tasks, fitness games and teamwork and leadership tasks. We were lucky enough to also have an inspirational talk from Captain Imy O’Brien, who skippered a rowing boat with a female only crew, across the Atlantic last year. The 3,000 mile journey was completed in just 46 days and her feat, plus the endeavours of the ladies on the pitch, made this a very inspirational and enjoyable celebration of women’s sport and achievement. A great time was had by all and a huge thanks needs to go to Mrs Wood who somehow managed to get all of us there, despite some last minute, logistical problems, we faced in the morning!
CHICHESTER UNIVERSITY TRIP
On Thursday, 5th of June Mrs Collyer and Mrs Cooper had the pleasure of taking 9 fabulous students to Chichester University’s School of Nursing and Applied Health. Students were spoken to by James who is now a lecturer on the Nursing degree, but used to work as a Mental Health Nurse, Dan who is former A&E nurse and Josh who is a 2nd year Physiotherapist. All 3 gentlemen gave them an informative and engaging talk about day-to-day study and university life while studying to reach registration in those professions. Students then had the opportunity to use their immersive simulation suites that trainee nurses uses as a significant part of their early training. All students behaved impeccably and got to see a smaller university campus. These courses are based on the Bishop’s Otter Campus in Chichester and with approximately 6000 students attending lectures are set at 30 students maximum, which can give a more personalised experience for a lot of students. #futurecare #futurenurse More detail can be seen on https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=33xvnQ762Lk or direct from the university website on https://www.chi.ac.uk/nursing/?utm_source=google&utm_campaign=HL_openday...
YEAR 7
This week we hosted a celebration evening for students in Year 7 who were nominated by staff for individual and subject-based awards. The pride and community spirit that we have seen from them as a cohort across this year was in abundance and we look forward to the events for Years 8, 9 and 10 in the coming weeks.
