Issue No. 2

The School celebrated the many achievements of it’s students on Wednesday evening during it’s Annual

Awards. The event, held in a packed St Mary Magdalene Church, recognises the diverse talents of it’s students

with awards for academic attainment, sporting, artistic and musical achievement, as well as presentation of

Duke of Edinburgh certificates.

During the evening the Ian Swinburne Trophy was presented to the school house champions. It is named after a

former pupil who passed away aged just 14. The Emlyn Wibberley Award was presented to Sami Al Safadi, a

student in Year 10, who demonstrates the same qualities as Emlyn, who tragically died on his way to school in

2010.

The Sky Sports News presenter & journalist, Jacqui Beltrao, gave an inspirational talk, and Head Teacher, Helen

Dixon, called the event “one of the highlights of the Christ’s School calendar. Teaching and learning is at the

heart of everything we do. We are very proud, not only of our academic successes, but of the fact that our

students are well rounded individuals who have the opportunity to develop all of their talents.”

Last Wednesday a group of year nine French

students visited British Airways. They

learnt how important foreign languages are

for the company. The group enjoyed a

range of activities that involved using French,

including role playing in the aircraft cabin.

They also had the opportunity to visit BA

headquarters to learn something of how the

company trains and supports its employees.

Books For The School Library

Christmas is just around the corner

and many of you may find yourselves

making room on your shelves for the

new books you are about to receive

as presents over the festive period.

Any books which are in excellent

condition, and appropriate for a School Library (readers aged

from 11-18), would be gratefully received as donations. We aim

to offer an engaging and diverse range of fiction and non-

fiction for the students, and with this in mind here are a few

authors we would love to have more of on the shelves:

Michael Morpugo/J K Rowling/Anthony Horowitz/Jane Austen/

John Green/Thomas Hardy/William Golding/C S Lewis/Philip

Pullman/Richard Adams… and more like these. If you can

donate then please either send your spare books in with your

son or daughter, or drop them off at the School Reception,

marked for the attention of the Librarian. Thank you.
