Bring on Tomorrow

Details

stacy next write up200Last month year 11 Per­form­ing Arts stu­dents pre­sented their final show­case ‘Bring On Tomor­row’. The show, which was directed and chore­o­graphed by the stu­dents, was a cul­mi­na­tion of their work over that last two years. The 90min per­for­mance fea­tured songs, dances and scenes from musi­cal the­atre shows as well as more con­tem­po­rary pieces. The per­form­ers wowed audi­ences with their ver­sa­til­ity and proved that they are a tal­ented bunch. Huge con­grat­u­la­tions to all eleven per­form­ers on pro­duc­ing such a mature and pro­fes­sional evening’s entertainment.

Sixth Form and Switch

stacy300

On Sun­day year 13 per­form­ing arts stu­dents were lucky enough to per­form at The Belle Vue Tav­ern in Peg­well with local band ‘Switch’. Jadine Grif­fin, Char­nice Maxted, Alfie Mur­ray, Sarah Han­cock and Ali­son Barar all gave per­for­mances of songs from across the decades, leav­ing the audi­ence impressed with their energy, pro­fes­sion­al­ism and vocal tal­ents. The five stu­dents got to per­form along­side band mem­bers from ‘Switch’ who have all worked pro­fes­sion­ally in the indus­try for a num­ber of years. This was the stu­dents’ penul­ti­mate per­for­mance for KES and they cer­tainly proved that that they are ready to take the next steps in their per­form­ing arts careers. Well done year 13, and we look for­ward to your final per­for­mance of ‘God­spell’ in early June.

Charne Welch Win­ner of the Sun­shine Award

charne200

Each Year the Thanet Rotary Club asks schools to nom­i­nate just one stu­dent for their annual Sun­shine Award, who is a ‘qui­etly excep­tional’ young per­son in:
- putting oth­ers before them self
- show­ing kind­ness to others
- being help­ful and fair to all
This year, after short list­ing a num­ber of stu­dents, we nom­i­nated Charne Welch and we are delighted and proud to learn that Charne has won the over­all Thanet senior ‘Sun­shine Award’!
Charne has been at KES for nearly 5 years and in that time her kind­ness, gen­eros­ity of spirit and quiet deter­mi­na­tion has touched many lives. This con­sid­er­a­tion of oth­ers before her­self is demon­strated daily in school as a Peer Men­tor and a Senior Pre­fect but also within the local com­mu­nity and beyond through her work with the Royal School for Deaf Chil­dren in Mar­gate and through her involve­ment with Young LEOs. She is a won­der­ful ambas­sador for the school and can be relied upon in absolutely any cir­cum­stances to help oth­ers and lead oth­ers in a fair and hon­est way.

Peer Men­tor Training

nigel300

Over two days at end of last term, 27 stu­dents from Year 8 who had stepped up to the chal­lenge and applied to be a peer men­tor under­took train­ing that explored the dif­fer­ent aspects of the men­tor­ing role, what they might have to come up against and how they can strive to be the best role mod­els and peer men­tors to the new stu­dents arriv­ing in Sep­tem­ber. First and fore­most a huge con­grat­u­la­tions to all those who were suc­cess­ful in their appli­ca­tions and under­went the train­ing pro­gramme which was a lot of fun, ener­getic and enlightening!
Peer Men­tor­ing has long been a reg­u­lar part of KES life and the recently trained stu­dents will remem­ber hav­ing this peer sup­port avail­able to them when they arrived here two years ago, and for many this was the exact rea­son why they wanted to give some­thing back and do it themselves.

Yr 7 T Shirt Project

frontpage only 300

You will be aware your son/​daughter has now com­pleted two home­work projects, both of which have been a huge suc­cess. We would like to take this oppor­tu­nity to thank par­ents and car­ers for tak­ing the time to join us to cel­e­brate the pupils’ work on the ‘Travel’ project. This project style of learn­ing has allowed pupils to be both cre­ative and independent.

We are now look­ing for­ward to pupils pro­duc­ing and pre­sent­ing their final project of year 7, which encour­ages and pro­motes inde­pen­dent learning.

We have delib­er­ately given pupils very lit­tle infor­ma­tion regard­ing the out­come of their project, allow­ing pupils to explore, take risks and per­son­alise their learn­ing. Each pupil will be given a book­let which includes: impor­tant dates and dead­lines, lead­ing ques­tions, assess­ment cri­te­ria and some guid­ance on how to tackle the task. What pupils pro­duce and how they present it will be up to them.

If your child needs any resources or sup­port they must ask their tutor. The LRC will also be avail­able at lunch times and after school.

We thank you for your on-​going sup­port and look for­ward to see­ing many of you on the morn­ing of Mon­day 14th July when we plan to hold another project pre­sen­ta­tion event to cel­e­brate pupils’ work.
