Year 9 girls group E-mail

dth

During the Autumn term 10 year 9 girls were involved in working with a professional artist as part of the Year 9 Girls Group. The group produced a fantastic piece of art that represented many issues but focused on issues that affect teenage girls specifically.

The Year 9 girls were then invited to Dewsbury Town Hall on Tuesday 27TH March where there art work was displayed as part of an exhibition to celebrate International Women’s Day. Whilst at the exhibition the girls listened to a number of inspirational women speakers, enjoyed a formal lunch as well as a viewing a performance by a professional drama group.

The girls have showed great skills in working as a team and producing an amazing piece of art that highlights some of the issues that affect young people today. The students were a credit to the school and their art work will be displayed within school for all to see.

Well done

 
Year 9 Rugby E-mail

Yr9rugbySquadA fantastic season sees the year 9 rugby into the last 8 of the champion schools.

The year 9 rugby team have secured a place in the quarter finals of the National rounds of the champion schools after beating Dronfield High School 44-6. This allows the pupils to travel all over the country to play against the top 16 schools in the country. Throughout the season we have worked very hard, qualifying for the regional finals and reaching the semi-finals but losing to Temple moor 38-18. Along the way we beat Trinity Academy Doncaster, Kettlethorpe Wakefield and St Wilfreds Castleford. The help of Steve Beaty from Huddersfield Giants has given us the opportunity to progress even further by giving quality coaching to the pupils. Steve has given up his time every Wednesday from Christmas to come and coach the pupils and has also travelled to all our away fixtures.

The team has also reached the final of the Kirklees Cup after beating Holmfirth High School 54-0. This was a fantastic victory for the team as Holmfirth are a strong team and the games are always close between the two sides. We are due to play either Earlsheaton or St John Fishers in the final at the Huddersfield YMCA

The pupils have had a fantastic season so far and are really enjoying school rugby league. They have enjoyed playing against teams outside Kirklees and travelling around Yorkshire. We are hoping to reach the last 4 of the national rounds.

Sports Relief 2012 E-mail

Update: The school has so far raised £1,921.09 with money still coming in, well done to all pupils and staff involved!

 

As part of the national fund raising for Sport Relief, we are going to hold a ‘Non-Uniform Day’ for Years 7,8,9 and 11.  For the privilege of not wearing school dress for this special day, pupils will be expected to make a minimum donation of £1.00. 

However, pupils in Year 10 already have this privilege as part of their reward activity.  This is the day that they are going to the cinema if they have met the Positive Behaviour criteria.  Therefore, We suggest that Year 10 pupils may contribute to the general collection if they would like to do so, but there is no requirement for them to pay £1.00 for wearing non-uniform.

We hope that parents will support us in ensuring that their son or daughter wears sensible casual clothing appropriate for School.

In addition, we are allowing those who raise £25 sponsorship in advance, the opportunity to wear fancy dress.  This is being co-ordinated by Heads of Year.

The School has an excellent record for fund raising for charity, we hope that all parents will support us.

Letters have been sent home, they are also avialable to download Years 7,8,9,11 and Year 10
