Year 9 Options
Mr Mohamed began the options process for Year 9 students this week. Students were provided with an overview of the decisions that need to be made and a timeline for completion. At Winston we are able to offer a huge variety of option subjects, as we have staff expertise and the economies of scale needed to meet the needs of our students.
Assembly
The theme for this asembly was 'Just Because You Can, Should you?'It looked at the issues and challenged students to think about the ethical dilemmas faced by countries today. These included modifying DNA, growing new body parts and the development of weapons. Other challenges were considered regarding the use of the internet and monitoring our citizens. The assembly finished by raising the ethical question of supporting the Syrian refugees, fleeing war and in need of our support.
The students were asked to consider whether there is a difference between the law (can we do it?) and ethics (should we do it?).
Basketball Success
Since the start of term the year 7 Boys Basketball Team have
played in 3 tournaments against 9 of the school in the district. The boys were
superb and reached the final in 2 of the 3 tournaments, unfortunately, overall
the boys didn’t win but came runners up. We would like to congratulate
the boys, Jos, Antony, Lewis, Ben W, Ben F, Ben B, Josh and Darart on this fantastic achievement.
