Regents Review Summer '18

The Regents Review Summer 2018

GENERAL NEWS

City College Year 10 students took an engineering course this year, which they all passed with flying colours! The photo below was taken in the brazing and engineering workshop. They learned how to bend and join copper pipework and connected pipework to a hand basin for their assessment.

Student Leaders Working With the Community This term some of our Year 10 student leaders and GCSE art students have been working closely with Southampton City Caterers on rebranding our school’s dining areas. They have had the huge privilege to work closely with the company’s graphic designers and marketing department to design and create a new brand and aesthetic for our upcoming revolutionised dining facilities. The students have held meetings with the designers, sharing ideas and visions, and have also been gaining a valuable insight into what it’s really like to work within the UK’s thriving creative industry, one that contributes £91.8bn a year to the UK economy.

Spencer, Our School Dog Spencer has now become a very popular member of the team at Regents Park Community College. It seems like only yesterday that he joined the school at just 9 weeks old, a little bundle that we could hold in our arms. Now as he approaches his first birthday this summer he is a confident puppy happy to help and support staff and students at the school.

Within the classroom he has become a topic for many pieces of work. In English there have been many stories written about him flying and having magic powers. He enjoys his visits to the classrooms and students are always pleased to see him. For staff he has been around to offer a reflective moment and whenever he is in school he gets plenty of visits from his admirers. Recently he has become the luckiest dog in Hampshire with sponsorship from Uptons of Bassett and he now regularly enjoys a nice juicy bone. Thank you so much to Simon for his wonderful support. As the temperature

soars, Spencer is finding the heat tricky to deal with but he is looking forward to visiting the beach and having a few swims in the streams around the New Forest.

During his first year at the school, he has been in attendance for as many exams as possible allowing students to have a stress free moment before they entered the hall and for some students this was just what they needed to give them that extra bit of confidence. He has been at several reward teas with Mrs Barnes where students got a chance to play ball with him.
