Students in Year 9 have been spending some of their Guidance lessons this term devising innovative products which will contribute to a more sustainable society. On Thursday this week we held our Dragons' Den Grand Final, which pitted the winning ideas from each Year 9 tutor group against one another.
Soilless Solutions (9 Sapphire) educated us about hydroponic growing for the home; CharBamby (9 Ruby) convinced us to ditch plastic bottles for good and use their bamboo alternatives; Footprint (9 Topaz) shared their idea for an app which would help consumers be more informed about how sustainable their clothing is. Our overall winners, however, were Snuggly Pets (9 Jade) who wowed the audience with their bamboo pet toys and innovative scheme for pet owners to return old pet toys which can be turned into new pet paraphernalia!
Well done to all the students in Year 9 for their participation. Well done to all the finalists for presenting with such conviction. And congratulations to Nora, Finn, Evie and Chloe from 9 Jade for winning the student vote!
With sustainable ideas like these from our students, it seems like the future is in good hands!

Year 12 have been spending a lot of time in Sports Hall One over the last week. Not doing sport, although they could tell you the science behind it…
There was a fun packed programme for the secondary students remaining on-site, which followed the 5 Co-Curricular strands. Students were immersed in languages, film-making, STEAM activities and cooking. They learned about children's rights and advocacy, and showed their creative talents through artwork. They hiked in the hills and formed friendships across year groups. See the Firefly page for further details and photographs
It has been a very memorable end of the primary journey for our Year 6 students. This last week of term has been jam packed. On Monday and Tuesday, the students performed the end of year production of ‘Olivia’, on Tuesday morning, there was a year group water fight and on Wednesday afternoon, they finally graduated with a special ceremony.
As a community, we've been actively promoting healthy eating habits through our weekly articles about life in the kitchen. With the summer holidays just a few days away and the heatwave this summer, we must all be more mindful of our fluid intake.
