Celebration Assembly
Year 7 celebrated the success they have achieved at Winston, during their first Year, in an inspiring assembly on Friday morning. Awards were given to students for the number of achievement points gained, progress in a subject, attendance and contribution to the school. The number of awards were impressive and indicate how amazing this group of young people will be next year. Mrs Smith, Miss Chapman, Mrs Cotter and Mr Fricker are delighted at the way in which the students have supported each other and risen to the challenge. Images from Newquay are at the end of this blog.
Plumbing at Winston
Some students had the opportunity to experience a plumbing course for six weeks this summer. They had to master the use of a number of tools and techniques. You can see these demonstrated in the image below.
Year 7 in Newquay!
At 5am, Monday 6th July, twelve lucky teachers and
one hundred and six very lucky year 7 students had the opportunity to take a
dip in the Atlantic Ocean for an action packed week of water sports in Newquay.
Each day we set up camp on the beach, students participated in a mixture of
challenges, games and fun activities including archery, rock climbing, a blind
trail, beach volleyball, and a definite favourite, zorb football. Twice a
day our children ventured into the sea to try their hand at surfing, coasteering,
sailing, kayaking, body boarding and paddle boarding. For many of our students
this was a unique experience, and all to it superbly and where outstanding in
their effort and achievements.
Watching our students attempt new activities, face their fears
and overcome many different challenges and supporting each other was remarkable
and a pleasure to be a part of.
Aside from the water sports, we visited a local theme park
to keep adrenaline levels high and also enjoyed beach bbq’s, an evening of
bowling and a disco on the final night! All in all it was a brilliant trip, and
our students were a credit to themselves and the school!
