24 hour tennis image200px

On the 26th Octo­ber, 12 juniors took part in a 24 hour Ten­nis marathon at Mar­gate Lawn Ten­nis club. The money raised goes towards the Club’s facil­i­ties and equip­ment to enhance the play­ing stan­dard and improve the abil­ity of the Club’s younger mem­bers. The event was car­ried out through­out the entire night from 10am till 10am the next day, in chal­leng­ing weather con­di­tions, tor­ren­tial rain and strong wind The weather did not affect the event, as the par­tic­i­pants car­ried on through­out the night, keen to raise the money to help younger play­ers reach their poten­tial. Over £1000 was raised.
The fol­low­ing juniors from King Ethel­bert took part; Reece Mab­ber­ley, Paul Maxwell, Jake Cop­per, Kieran Duck­worth, Ben Mor­ris and Ayo Owoborode. Well done Boys!

King Ethel­bert stu­dents, staff, par­ents and car­ers, spe­cial guests and friends of the school cel­e­brated both indi­vid­ual and col­lec­tive suc­cesses at King Ethel­bert School’s annual Pre­sen­ta­tion After­noon, held at the Win­ter Gar­dens on Wednes­day 20th Novem­ber. The school was cel­e­brat­ing its record break­ing GCSE results in the sum­mer, when 54% of stu­dents gained 5A*-C grades includ­ing Eng­lish and Maths; the best results of all Thanet high schools. Prizes also reflected huge suc­cess for the School’s first cohort of Year 13 stu­dents who achieved out­stand­ing results in the IBCC in the sum­mer. The pro­ceed­ings were ably opened by Head Boy, Gre­gory Nocen­tini, with the Head Girl, Charli Nichol­son deliv­er­ing a heart­felt vote of thanks at the end. The after­noon included musi­cal per­for­mances from stu­dents across the school, as well as speeches, includ­ing guest speaker Mr. Matt Hayes, an ex stu­dent and now a suc­cess­ful archi­tect involved in many projects within the edu­ca­tion sector.

Mer­chant of Venice Trip

Details

mov200pxOn the 6th Novem­ber 2013 the whole of year 9 went on a trip to the Mar­lowe The­atre to watch a Shake­speare pro­duc­tion of The Mer­chant of Venice. The play was very inter­est­ing and the lan­guage was well spo­ken. Although the stage was small they used the space very well and made it look big­ger. Also the spe­cial effects like the blood and fake eye being pulled out looked very real­sitic! In the play the actors were all men to coin­cide with the Shake­speare theme, as women weren’t allowed to act in shake­spearean times. We had been ana­lyz­ing the play in our Eng­lish lessons learn­ing about the lan­guage and the his­tory in those days

The Curi­ous Inci­dent of the Dog in the night-​time

Details

millership200pxYear 12 IB Lit­er­a­ture stu­dents took a trip to Lon­don on Tues­day 5th Novem­ber to see the award win­ning pro­duc­tion of ‘The Curi­ous Inci­dent of the Dog in the night-​time’ We have been study­ing the book in class and it was fas­ci­nat­ing to see how they brought the book and the char­ac­ter of Christo­pher to life and it has def­i­nitely helped with our stud­ies of the book in class.
We thor­oughly enjoyed the stag­ing and the actor por­tray­ing Christo­pher gave a very con­vinc­ing per­for­mance. We also did a great job of inde­pen­dently nav­i­gat­ing our­selves around Lon­don, only get­ting lost in rush hour tube traf­fic once!

Royal Shake­speare Company

Details

english200px

As part of King Ethelbert’s part­ner­ship with the RSC (Royal Shake­speare Com­pany), Andrew Daw­son (from the Mar­lowe The­atre) came in to the school, to deliver a drama work­shop for year 9 stu­dents on Shakespeare’s The Mer­chant of Venice. Stu­dents have been study­ing The Mer­chant of Venice in both Eng­lish and Drama. Each year 9 form group had a 60 minute ses­sion where they devised small scenes from the play to help with their under­stand­ing of char­ac­ters and themes. The aim of the work­shop was to encour­age stu­dents to engage actively with Shakespeare’s work and lan­guage. It also pre­pared stu­dents for the visit to The Mar­lowe to see a per­for­mance of the play. Stu­dents thor­oughly enjoyed their ses­sions and would like to thank Andrew for his fan­tas­tic deliv­ery of the work­shop. This was an excit­ing end to the term for both staff and stu­dents and is just the begin­ning of the many oppor­tu­ni­ties King Ethelbert’s stu­dents will be able to take part in thanks to the RSC partnership.
