dofe200Three Year 11 stu­dents, Oliver Boor­man, William Clough­ley and Danny Ken­nard were ‘Tam­pered Evi­dence’! They per­formed four ‘rock’ num­bers and brought the house down at the Win­ter Gar­dens as part of the enter­tain­ment for the Duke of Edin­burgh Award Pre­sen­ta­tion Evening on Thurs­day 28th March.

Spe­cial thanks to Mr Boor­man for all his tech­ni­cal assis­tance on the night with micro­phones and sound sys­tems. It was a great evening and I urge the cur­rent Year 11 D of E stu­dents who suc­cess­fully com­pleted their expe­di­tion sec­tions to get their other sec­tions com­pleted so we can have a smaller event after school one night next term to present their cer­tifi­cates and badges.

Nicola Wood, Sam Cut­ler Mck­enizie , Ben Mal­lory, Ellie Corn­wall and Reece Grieg all par­tic­i­pated in the live broad­cast a long side other Dane Court pupils. Joe Marsh and Ellie Corn­wall took con­trol of the news­pa­per report and the fin­ished prod­ucts are up on King Ethel­bert, Dane Court and BBC web­sites for every­one else to enjoy. We all had a lot of fun and have all got a lot more con­fi­dence. We never thought that we would end up on the BBC web­site. We were really proud of the fin­ished prod­uct.
We hope you enjoy it as much as we did!

12RG a sixth form tutor group organ­ised and ran a char­ity quiz night in aid of Fam­i­lies against Neu­rob­las­toma. The event was solely planned and exe­cuted by the stu­dents and was a great suc­cess, rais­ing a total of £441 for the stu­dents cho­sen char­ity. Fam­i­lies against Neu­rob­las­toma is a char­ity in aid of a form of child­hood can­cer, which sixth form felt pas­sion­ate about sup­port­ing. It was an excel­lent oppor­tu­nity for the stu­dents to work well as a team and develop
skills such as; prob­lem solv­ing, con­flict res­o­lu­tion, organ­i­sa­tion, cus­tomer ser­vice, com­mu­ni­ca­tion, pub­lic speak­ing and inter­ac­tion within the school com­mu­nity. The evening was a great suc­cess and the stu­dents were very proud to raise such a large sum for their cho­sen char­ity. Thank you to every­one that sup­ported the event. Miss Green­street, their Form Tutor com­mented that “…All of the group showed a great level of matu­rity and I was so very proud of each of them for work­ing so hard. The evening went with­out any com­pli­ca­tions and any issues that did arise were dealt with swiftly with no dis­rup­tion to the event. A fun evening was had by all… Well done Form 12RG!”

science200The BTEC Level 3 Sci­ence stu­dents vis­ited the Kent Resource Cen­tre located on the Kent Sci­ence Park in Sit­ting­bourne. It offered them the oppor­tu­nity to expe­ri­ence the prac­ti­cal tech­niques asso­ci­ated with the the­ory learned in class. Indi­vid­u­ally they car­ried out Aspirin syn­the­sis and dif­fer­ent tech­niques to esti­mate the purity of the Aspirin made. The tech­niques that were used var­ied, these included: pH test­ing, melt­ing point deter­mi­na­tion, High Per­for­mance Liq­uid Chro­matog­ra­phy and Infrared Spec­troscopy. The stu­dents also con­ducted a pater­nity test using gel elec­trophore­sis tech­nique, look­ing at DNA frag­ments from a mother, child and two poten­tial fathers. These prac­ti­cal activ­i­ties gave our stu­dents the oppor­tu­nity to gain first hand expe­ri­ence of using lab­o­ra­tory instru­ments and an insight into the world of prac­ti­cal sci­ence and what it is like to work in a lab­o­ra­tory set­ting. With guid­ance from the lab­o­ra­tory staff at the Resource Cen­tre the stu­dents found this expe­ri­ence invalu­able and helped make the pro­ce­dures easy to under­stand and enjoy­able. Over­all, the day was enjoyed by all and they all gained some expe­ri­ence in this field of work for the future.
