    When we arrived in Le Havre the families

    picked us up and we went to their housesfor the bank holiday weekend. On the

    Saturday we all met up in the morning

    and went for a tour around Le Havre. Af-

    ter that most people went to the beach

    for the day and went swimming in the

    freezing sea water. Later on some people

    went to a party to welcome the wel-

    come the English to France.

    On Tuesday we met up at school and

    travelled to Paris. It was very hot and eve-

    ryone brought cold drinks or ice cream.

    After seeing the Eiffel Tower we went to

    see the Arc de Triomphe. We had lunch

    there and then went to Montmatre and

    did some shopping and then came back to Le Havre. On Wednesday we went to Parc Asterix for the

    day. It took a while to get there but once we were there, Miss let us lose for the day. So we roamed round

    the park going on all the rides.

    On Thursday we went to Acrobronches, a place like Go Ape. At first we had to start on the low ones, but

    as we progressed we were allowed on the higher ones. These were difficult as they were so high up, but

    at the end there were zip wires which were great fun.

    On Friday we went to the school for a lesson and a break time. After we were given the choice to either

    go shopping or stay at school! You would think everyone would want to go shopping, but most of the

    people stayed at school! The people who went shopping were treated to lunch! After we went back to

    school to pick everyone up and then headed for the port. The exchange partners came to wave good

    buy and then we left for Portsmouth.

    Miss Moran and Mrs Bell took a group of eight year 8 students to the

    boroughs 'Battle of the Books' competition at Teddington School.

    We finished 4th in a very closely drawn competition, but the students

    seemed more delighted that they beat Grey Court!

    The students read 6 novels each and had three rounds of questions and

    then a general literature round and fully enjoyed the experience.

    The following students were an absolute credit to the school and each

    got to choose a novel for taking part and representing Christ's School:

    8B - Ben Patterson and Sharif Khan Bennett

    8e - Tashi Barry and Massimo Chiesa

    8M - Antonia Fox and Alexandra Greenwood

    8A - Daisy Forester and Lauren Canner.

    Library News

    The Library this year has been quite an adventure and an honour to be

    a part of. We have seen so many books being taken out and read, we

    have bought and received several books. So many students come and

    used the space with its new resources and new activities. Most have

    been received well and it will be sad to say good bye to it all. Make

    sure those who have loved the library get a limited edition badge at

    the beginning of next term. Here's what it looks like:Mrs Brown and Mrs Bell have done an incredible job making the library

    what it is today! Long may the library be a place where the students

    feel safe and enjoy reading!

    I do hope and pray you all have a brilliant summer.

    Humanities Society

    Following an incredibly successful first year of our Humanities Society (HumSoc) weare now busy planning for September. We already have BBC newsreader and

    journalist Nicholas Owen booked as our opening speaker of the year and are

    looking for more volunteers!

    We are searching for parents, or friends/contacts of parents, who work in sectors

    related to the study of our Humanities subjects to come and speak. Mrs Harris and

    Mr Roderick run the Thursday lunchtime meetings from 12.30 and around 25-40 enthusiastic pupils from all

    year groups are now regularly attending.

    Christ's School is lucky to have a lot of parents working in journalism, environment, the law, film-making,

    politics, higher education, criminal justice system, charity and development sectors, so it would be great

    if you could consider sparing half an hour one Thursday lunchtime to come and take part in a Q&A with

    the students. All very informal, nothing to worry about!

    Please contact me if you think your job would be relevent and you are interested in taking part.

    Zorro

    Zorro the musical was a challenging, exhilarating and

    ultimately highly successful event in the school year,

    and for me personally an absolute highlight in terms of

    all that I have been involved in at the school.

    'Zorro' began as a glimmer of an idea in the depths of

    December when Philip Wilson who had seen the West

    End show, realised that not only was the music wonder-

    ful but that the whole show with its stunts, choreogra-

    phy, comedy and colourful characters had tremendous

    potential for a school production. He skilfully negotiated getting the first ever amateur rights and thus in

    the twinkling of a rapier, the Zorro team (Philip Wilson, Frazer Blaxland, Valerie Busby and myself) was

    formed. Auditions took place in February and the cast started rehearsing 2 or 3 times a week from March.

    The story of Zorro is told by the gypsies who relate how a man named Diego put on the mask of Zorro atthe behest of his childhood friend, Luisa, in order to defend his countrymen from his tyrannical brother, Ra-

    mon.

    Zorro is an enormously complex show and a huge step

    up from anything we had taken on before both in terms

    of the intricacy of the Flamenco based score but also

    the sheer challenge of staging the stunts and illusions,

    capturing the passion of the peasant revolution, the

    spirit of the gypsies, the romance between hero and

    heroine and the excitement of the ensemble pieces

    with our large cast. We were extremely lucky to havehelp from Buffy Davis (acting and directing) and Roger

    Martin (fight director) and their input was invaluable..

    Over the months it was brilliant to see the pupils rising to

    the challenge; learning the discipline of theatre, the demands of performance, the commitment to the

    rest of the company and that sheer hard work is the foundation of success.

    And they did it!

    The success of the three nights of the performance is best summed up by the many comments from our

    audience and all involved.

    On Friday 22nd June 2012 the year ten GCSE Geography classes visited Hengistbury Head as

    part of their GCSE Geography controlled assessment. 55 eager and enthusiastic students

    braved rain showers and strong winds to measure beach profiles, examine coastal processesand assess the effectiveness of coastal defences. Mr Spicer has been running the trip for ten

    years and this year was the worst weather yet. Mr Roderick looks forward to marking the con-

    trolled assessment in September.

    Many thanks to Mr Williams, Mr Scott, Miss Bell and Mrs Duckworth for supporting the Geogra-

    phy Department.

    Oxford University Visit

    The Dux Awards scheme recognises and rewards high performing pupils in Year 9 (14-year-olds).

    Vivienne Leech and Abigail Houghton- Brown were chosen by staff to visit a Russell Group uni-

    versity. They were accompanied by Mrs Georgina Young, our Gifted and Talented Coordinator

    to visit Oxford University on June 14th. The girls carried out some activities in the William Pitt muse-

    um and the Natural History museum with other Dux

    award scheme students. They then had a tour of

    Oxford and lunch at Oriel College before carrying

    out another activity at the Museum of History of Sci-

    ence. The day was designed to inspire the students

    to think about aiming for a Russell Group university

    and to offer activities with stretch and challenge.

    The Dux award scheme is supported by the Depart-

    ment for Education and hopefully will run again

    next year.

    the Year 9's had been learning about the holocaust and they had many opportunities duringthe session to ask the questions they had prepared.

    Our Year 10 students undertook a range of diverse and in-

    teresting work placements during their 2 week work experi-

    ence at the end of the summer term.

    Students work placements included hairdressers, courts,

    schools, the Met Office, the BBC, Homebase, vets, archi-

    tects, museums, libraries and many more.

    Teachers visited the students in the second week and re-

    turned to school with glowing reports of our students be-

    haviour, ability, talents and maturity. Some students were

    offered part time work, or promised a future job opportuni-

    ty.

    As in previous years our students were a credit to us, their

    parents and themselves.

    Sports day saw Y7,8 & 9 competing for individual and house titles under grey clouds and a wave

    of enthusiasm. With the rain preventing throwing events taking place, running took centre stage

    as students competed for their forms in the teams selected by their newly elected sports Cap-

    tains. Notable performances came from TashiBarry in Y8 winning a fiercely competed

    15oom race. Tashi held off London YouthGames Cross Country champion Otto Sterner

    to win in a new PB. Stefan Langley won the

    Blue ribbon 100m event, beating Amman Fer-

    guson. Agnes Brook-Sulman was dominant in

    her winning of the Y7 girls 300m.

    Overall, 7B, 8M & 9B took the year group

    awards and Magdalene House took the over-

    all house title. Congratulations to everyone

    who took part.

    Sports Day

    Inter-school Torch Relay marks World Sport Day at Christs School

    25 June 2012

    As part of celebration for the London 2012 World Sport Day, Christs

    School took part in an inter-school torch relay celebrating the Olym-

    pic value of friendship.

    The torch relay was coordinated by Richmond School Sport Partner-

    ship and saw ten secondary schools, two special schools and one

    college take part in a brilliant effort by students who were involved

    in designing, manufacturing and carrying the 13 torches.

    Richmond Park Academy brought their torch to Christs, leaving it

    with here as a 2012 gift of friendship. They arrived through the main

    gates to a cheering Guard of Honour provided by 8A & B. A group

    of Year 7s then welcomed them with a dance followed by a wel-

    come speech from Esme Gritten and Karen Valle Christs School

    Olympic Ambassadors

    Our torch relay team left on the next leg of the relay carrying our fantastic torch. Designed by Dorsa

    Nasrollahi in Year 9 and made by Mr Gray the torch looked magnificent as the 8 pupils with Ms Need-

    ham & Ms Bromly powered out of the school in the direction of Strathmore School. The torch team com-

    prised of Hamish Sharp, Lily Shield Polyzoides, Otto Sterner, Hannah Perks, Terrance van Cooten, Freya

    Donnell, Josh Pacho and Rachel Jarvis.

    They received a great welcome as they arrived at Strathmore School where they handed over the

    Christs School torch. Accompanying the Strathmore relay team to Greycourt School was the final leg of

    our Olympic torch relay.

    A really fantastic day which celebrated the London 2012 Olympics and linked students from each school

    in the values of the Olympic and Paralympic games.

    On Friday 4th May Surrey LTA came into school and 20 Year 10 Christs pupils were given the

    opportunity to attend a Tennis Leaders course. Throughout the day pupils learnt how to score

    and run a tournament. They then put their new skills to the test on Monday 18th June wherethey attended and helped run the Year 3 & 4 Borough Tennis Tournament at Sheen Tennis

    Club.

    One of the organisers of the tournament said that all the pupils had been a credit to the

    school.

    Strictly Cycling competition

    On 11th June five secondary schools took

    part in the first ever Borough Cycling Com-

    petition. The event was held at Wal-

    degrave School and was organised by Brit-

    ish Cycling. As Christs have been running a

    cycling club for Year 7 & 8 we took a full

    team to the event. Although we were

    competing against other schools Year 9 pu-

    pils the Christs team did really well finishing

    in third place and claiming a bronze medal.

    Well done!

    The team was Sam Beanney, Otto Sterner, Tashi Barry, Hamish Sharp, Luka Illic & Joel Lim

    Richmond Borough Golf Championships

    Another first this term was the Richmond Borough Golf Championships. The event took place

    at Fulwell Park Golf Club on Thursday 10th May. An encouraging 26 pupils from all the borough

    secondary Schools had entered. Christs School was represented by Jake Goodyear & Flynn

    Halsall. Both boys did well although the weather was against them.

    The event will be running next year so any budding golfers out thereget practicing!

    Christs School Hosts Sportsability day

    On 9thJune Christs School played host to the borough Sport Inclusion day. Run by Dave

    Francis from Clarendon School it is day of sport for young people who find physical activity a

    challenge. The day was spent in the sports hall playing wheelchair basketball (which I found

    particularly tricky!), boccia, rounders amongst other activities. A particular thank you goes to

    the group of Year 9 girls who took part in the training and then helped run the event on the

    day. Well Done Girls.

    Richmond Borough Athletics Championships

    A perfect day for athletics dawned on Tuesday 19th June. Kingsmeadow stadium was

    bathed in sunshine with a slight breeze down the home straight. The Christs school athletes

    were in peak physical condition and raring to go despite a fallen tree in Richmond Park caus-

    ing a slight delay in getting there!

    Dear Parents/Carers,

    I hope you have a relaxing and restorative summer break.

    Despite the wet weather weve had a good half term. I mentioned in my last letter that we wererunning lunchtime activities in the Chapel during this half term. The students have been able to

    dip in and out of those.

    Weve had all kinds of interesting and wide-ranging discussions, storytelling sessions and creative

    art activities. These were led by staff, students and youth workers/pastoral assistants from the lo-

    cal churches.

    Earlier this term I received emails from a couple of parents asking about the possibility of a par-

    ents/carers prayer group to pray for the school community and our needs. Ive since met up

    with one of our parents, Susan Armstrong, who is a member of Holy Trinity Church in Richmond.She would like to co-ordinate a Parents/Carers Prayer Group. If you are interested in being a

    part of that please contact Susan via email at [email protected]

    I recently bought six prayer mats for the use of our Muslim students. Next term these will be avail-

    able in the Chapel. We are a Christian school and hospitality is a key theme for us. We are

    therefore committed to all students feeling welcome

    and at home, regardless of their faith perspective.

    I hope the rain clouds pass and the sun shines warm

    upon you during the summer holiday.

    Every blessing

    Ruth

    Harvest Festival

    As you know we encourage our students to get involved in a variety of charitable giving and

    fundraising events. One of the causes that we support every year is SPEAR (Single Persons Emer-

    gency Accommodation in Richmond).

    SPEAR is a charity working with homeless people in and around Richmond. Since 1987, we haveoffered services to thousands of homeless and vulnerable people, successfully transforming lives

    and supporting many of our service users to the point that they have achieved total independ-

    ence.

    SPEAR is not just about homelessness and housingour aim is to support clients to live inde-pendently, reach their aspirations and live a fulfilling life.

    We support clients to develop new skills, confidence and self-esteem. We know that increased

    self-esteem comes with small steps of change and that all these steps make the difference to

    maintaining a home and breaking the cycle of homelessness.

    We offer excellent services to those most marginalised in society and we strive constantly to im-

    prove those services and the lives of our clients.

    At Christs School we feel it is important to give thanks for the things we have and to show ourgratitude through the giving of gifts to others who are not as fortunate. This Harvest Festival we

    will be collecting non-perishable items (tinned foods, dried food stuffs, pasta etc.) to donate to

    people being supported by SPEAR in Richmond. We would be really appreciative if every studentcould bring in at least one item for the collection.

    The collection will be displayed during our Harvest Festival celebration and then a small group of

    volunteer students will accompany Ruth, our chaplain, to the SPEAR

    Hostel to donate the goods.

    Donated items should be handed into form tutors by September 14th2012.

    Thanking you for your generosity in advance,

    Mrs Perkins and Ruth Scott

    The Olympics are coming to Richmond upon Thames
