Duke of Edin­burgh expedition

Details

Dofe200pxOn the week­end of the 5th and 6th Octo­ber, 35 brave and hardy Year 11 stu­dents suc­cess­fully com­pleted their Duke of Edin­burgh Award Bronze expeditions.They showed excep­tional nav­i­gat­ing skills on the first day to get lost so often and yet still man­age to get to the camp site at Kings­down before night­fall! Day two was much bet­ter and a big thank you to the three asses­sors we had who worked tire­lessly to sup­port the stu­dents. Well done to all the students!

National Poetry Day

Details

poertry200pxThe 3rd Octo­ber was National Poetry day and in the run up to the event, stu­dents took part in a National Poetry Day com­pe­ti­tion. This year’s theme was ‘Water’. Many stu­dents entered the com­pe­ti­tion and in the end it was a close call between 1st and 2nd place. I was incred­i­bly impressed with the qual­ity and orig­i­nal­ity of the poems that were entered. An extremely tal­ented Tar­ren Brath­waite (from Year 11) was awarded first place with his poem “Safe place to cry” and gained 20 house points. In 2nd Place was Danielle Cor­ner and third place was year 7, Jas­mine Gib­bons. Well done to all stu­dents for tak­ing part!

Demen­tia Diaries

Details

dementia 200pxOn Fri­day 27 Sep­tem­ber I was invited to the for­mal launch of Demen­tia Diaries. It is a book writ­ten by young peo­ple, pri­mar­ily for young peo­ple but it is an infor­ma­tive read for all ages, to help them cope with a loved one who is suf­fer­ing from demen­tia. The for­mat is easy to read, it is funny and sad in places but it does show the chal­lenges of car­ing for some­one with demen­tia. There is also a YouTube clip called ‘The brain cell boo­gie’ to sup­port the launch of the book.
This book is avail­able in all schools and libraries in Kent. One of our ex-​students Raisa is a main con­trib­u­tor, giv­ing her account of help­ing to care for some­one who has demen­tia. West­gate is becom­ing a demen­tia friendly town.
I was priv­i­leged to have been invited and it was fan­tas­tic to see an ex-​student involved in such a worth­while cause.

Trip to Dover Castle

Details

castle200pxThe visit was arranged to enable year 11 pupils to gather infor­ma­tion and carry out research that will enable them to answer the three ques­tions that make up their con­trolled assess­ment tasks.
Each pupil was issued with a work­book that encour­aged them to focus on the rel­e­vant fea­tures of the site.
Pupils explored the fol­low­ing phys­i­cal fea­tures of the site: the square stone keep, the fore­build­ing, the Roman Pharos, the Saxon church, the inner cur­tain wall, remains of the pre­his­toric fort, the medieval tun­nels and main entrances to the site. This involved a great deal of walk­ing up stairs and along steep tun­nels. A few com­plaints of aching legs could be heard through­out the day.
On the day of our visit we shared the site with mem­bers of a film crew who were prepar­ing for film­ing scenes from ‘Into the woods’, star­ring Johnny Depp and Meryl Streep, the fol­low­ing day. This pro­vided pupils with an extra inter­est for the day!
