Textiles Club
Textile Club takes place every Monday from 3-4pm in room 10. After half term we will be working on making Christmas presents and Christmas decorations for family members. The students are currently working hard to learn a variety of new techniques and are gaining confidence in using the sewing machines.
The club is mainly run by our prefects (Poppy Phillips, Natasha Fletcher and Viktoria Lantos) with the help of Miss King.
All year groups welcome!
Halloween Safety
Students are being reminded how to keep themselves safe if they are out and about for Halloween.
Assembly this Week
Mr Collins challenged students , this week, to consider who inspires them and why. He talked through a number of possible candidates for the role and then particularly spoke about the inspiration that his mum has been throughout his life. Mr Collins then developed these initial ideas by introducing Simon Fitzmaurice, an incredibly talented young man, who taught English and made films. Simon was diagnosed with motor neuron disease and the assembly then focused on the impact this had on Simon's life and the resilience Simon demonstrated every day. He wrote a book, 'My name is Emily,' by using his eyes on a computer screen and then directed it as a film. By finding ways to deal with the barriers before him, Simon became an inspiration for others.
Students were then challenged to consider their mind set when faced with challenges.
