Regents Review Winter '17

The Regents Review Winter 2017

GENERAL NEWS

Year 10 WOW - I can’t believe it’s that time of year again! Christmas has once again snuck up on us. Year 10 have had a fabulous term this term. Our new College Council is well under way with our new representatives, Gary Hearn and Ethan Evans. There have been huge improvements in the canteen through ideas from College Council. College Council have also supported new teachers and monitored behaviour throughout Year 10. Year 10 have started their new courses and are continuing to enjoy PE within the curriculum. They are enjoying having opportunities to learn in different ways, especially within science and geography. There have been many school trips available to them, including the Richard Taunton’s Dance trip on the 21st November. Year 10 have continued to mature this year and have been especially Trainee Teachers A warm welcome to: Jess Ford

focused on their work experience, as well as opportunities given to them from Bond Dickinson. Over 50% of students managed to hand in their forms and find their own work experience. Year 10 continue to amaze me with their passion and enthusiasm for learning and life. We continue to find new ideas and initiatives to support their learning such as Morocco 2019. I would like to wish you a happy, healthy and safe holiday and look forward to seeing you in 2018!

This year the Year 10 students have matured quite a lot. In lessons we are trusted to learn independently for our benefit. We are especially loving photography with all our projects being challenging, in science the experiments have been very interesting with Mr Ashworth doing a methane bubble experiment - let’s just say that was very explosive! In geography we had an eco-adventurer come and tell us how we can save the ocean and improving the world by recycling. He also showed us his accomplishment which was to swim to Jersey from La Motte. He was the first person to achieve this 5km swim.
