Showcasing Winston


Assembly this Week


It was wonderful to hear Ben and Rhiannon perform a song from our school production, Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dream Coat, in our school assembly today.  We hope that as many students and their parents as possible are able to join us at the Rhoda McGaw Theatre next week.  Many of the local primary schools will be attending the afternoon performances and our students are looking forward to showcasing their talent in a professional theatre.


Young Enterprise

Congratulations to WCSC YE on their certificate of commendation at Tuesday night's Y Factor competition. It was noted not only by the judges, but also by the teachers of other participating schools, local business advisors and two local mayors how impressive their display was, as well as their product, BathBlends. (Ours were the only students who had made their product themselves). Students really came into their own demonstrating their excellent communication skills as they answered judges' questions (and even made a few sales).

"We started the competition very nervous as we looked around the room and saw many great ideas and great companies: there was Hydro that had a 3-D printer, The Little Tin Can Company whose stand was unbelievable using fencing, plants and artificial grass, GoBillou had created cookbooks that helped you learn a language (they were the winning group). The judges loved our company and were very impressed with it. We worked as a group and got everything sorted out, we had a striking display board beautifully painted by Haleema which we used to display ingredients and prices. We tried our best and got to meet and speak to many different people, including the mayors of Woking and Guildford who were both very nice, and we got to sell some bath bombs! It was a brilliant event and was very fun to take part in." - Ore Anifowoshe






Ella's Sculpture

Below is a picture of Ella’s sculpture, which is on display at the Lightbox in the Henry Moore exhibition.  She’s been attending their Young Curators course since the start of December, where they have been working with a sculptor.  She’s loved it and the final pieces the students produced have been put on display in the new Henry Moore exhibition.

Well done Ella!
