GCSE RESULTS DAY 2017

 

YEAR 7 BOYS’ ATHLETICS COMPETITION

On Tuesday 11 July, our Year 7 boys’ athletics team competed at Monkton Stadium in the ‘Quadkids’ athletics event. The competition consists of 4 events (100m, 800m, long jump and howler (a throwing event), with all pupils participating in each event. From the 11 teams competing, our ‘B’ team finished in 5th place and our ‘A’ team finished in 1st place: a fantastic achievement.

There was also an individual competition, with competitors accumulating points for each event they completed. The points were then added together to give an overall total. Two of our pupils finished in the top three, with Oliver Cresdee finishing 3rd overall and Dylan Love winning the boys’ competition: a fantastic accomplishment.

Well done to all competitors!

GRENFELL TOWER APPEAL

On Tuesday 4th of July, we donated the sum of £1,271 to the Grenfell Tower ‘Localgiving’ page, which was matched by the Foundation.

We held a number of events in school to raise money, including: a cake sale; the selling of button badges; a non-uniform day; a Smartie tube challenge (tutor groups filled Smartie tubes with one pound coins); guess the number of sweets in the jar; and a raffle Staff and pupils also donated money to have their handprint painted onto a canvas frame, as a permanent record of our support.

The money raised in school will go towards the charity’s overall fundraising target to help families rebuild their lives after this appalling tragedy.

 Thank you for your kind donations and support.

DISTRICT CUP WINNERS!

Congratulations to the Year 7 boys’ football team, who won the District Cup last night, beating St Joseph’s 1-0 in the final. Oliver Cresdee scored the wining goal in the 80th minute to give us a well-deserved victory. 

The team has performed exceptionally well all season, losing only one match in eleven games. They have their final league game of the season next week.

Well done!

STEM ENRICHMENT DAY

A group of 5 Triple Science pupils attended a STEM enrichment day at Ernst Youngs in Newcastle on Friday 3rd March. This was part of the government campaign ‘YourLife’ and had 50 of the UK’s largest STEM employers on hand to provide free career insights, skills and relationships with employers training. Our pupils worked with pupils from other schools to complete a ‘Twirling birds activity’ looking at production, delegation and presentation skills and had a chance to chat with Ernst Young employees about the roles and opportunities they offer.
