Miss Hammans led our January History Club session on Tudor rebellions, specifically the Western Uprising in 1549. This session also included an appearance by the author of the article, Professor Mark Stoyle from the University of Southampton, who gave our A Level History students a fantastic opportunity to talk to a leading historian at the cutting edge of his field.
World Book Day will be celebrated nationally on the 2nd of March and the charity’s official website has a range of reading activities and resources for families, which you may find useful.
On Tues 17th January, our 15 EPQ (Extended Project Qualification) candidates presented their final projects at the EPQ Marketplace.
Sixth Form students, as well as staff, were invited to hear our students passionately explain their projects and answer questions. The EPQ allows students to investigate a topic of their choosing and produce either a written report or artefact in the style of university research.
Thank you to everyone involved for making this such a successful, inaugural event.
Mr Jose
EPQ coordinator
The Music Showcase took place on Thursday 12th January and was a great success! Performers from Year 7 through to Year 13 took part in the concert, which included hits from Stevie Wonder by our senior band, a violin solo performed by Rohan Patel and even a Pitch Perfect Mash-up sung by our choir.
Congratulations to all those who took part.
Mr Bayliss
During December, activities included Sixth Form Festive Friday when everyone had enormous fun while raising money for charity.
This Autumn Term we have had 2 great successes in our STEM activities. Firstly, Year 9 and Year 10 students took part in an international bridge building workshop with schools from the UK, and the USA.
The afternoon was started off by Mr David White, the Apprentice Lead at Gatwick Airport where he is in charge of training for the young people at Gatwick who have secured roles; and trains them over four years to be their future engineers.
Following on from this, the students were given a presentation in which they were asked to consider the importance of bridges, including ideas about the use of simple bridges transforming people’s lives throughout the developing world.
The presentation also considered aspects of engineering relating to the different types of bridge, materials used in construction, the science behind the choice of materials and design considerations. After this, students were given time to design, build, test and improve bridges of their own.
Following on from the construction and testing session there was a discussion opportunity with apprentice engineers from Gatwick. There was also an opportunity to demonstrate the capabilities of the bridge to hold a load. All Hazelwick’s bridges performed well, holding several kilograms of masses.
