Our Headways Sixth Form, a unique partnership between Hetton School and Sunderland College is once again celebrating the success of our previous students with excellent A-level and Vocational results sweeping across the board. For the third year running the pass rate on both A level and Vocational courses is an incredible 99%, with students achieving 33 A* grades. We are delighted with this year’s results. In particular the increase in A level students achieving an A* grade and the 100% pass rate our Higher Achievers programme has provided for those striving to get in to the country’s most prestigious Universities. This level of success is also shared across all our Vocational BTEC programmes with a significant amount of students achieving High Grades.

Local author, Colin Mulhern, visited our school 2011 library to tell 2 of our year seven groups about his newly published book, Clash. Having shocked us all with the news that whilst he was at school he was a reluctant reader, Colin then delighted us by recounting the opening chapter of his book without even looking at the printed word! With a plot set in a school and using realistic language, we were immediately hooked. Publishers at first found the theme of cage fighting too fantastic but we all know from the recent news, it’s happening now! Colin’s analysis of body mannerisms and behaviour truly amazed us. He told us that we all associate ourselves with a colour – red, blue or green. To demonstrate this, he asked a willing volunteer to reveal her colour. “You choose green?” he asked Chloe from 7y2 and she was then given a key.

And have been role models for all years. Interviewer: Do you think that the school has improved since you arrived? Mr. Keay: I would prefer the pupils and parents to answer that question, but I think that teaching and learning have definitely improved. Interviewer: Are we getting any money towards the school? If so what would it be used on? Mr. Keay: We are getting extra money from the local authorities but that money doesn’t go far, we have spent money on paint for the outside of the school and for new boilers. There is a small possibility of a new school being built in the future but I think the appearance of the school doesn’t have to much of a negative effect on learning. In addition to this they did a four Interviewer: You stopped the yr 10s going out at dinner, Do you think you will mile hike and an 8 mile hike to eventually stop everyone going out at dinner?

Last half term, some of our Year 9 students were chosen to represent Hetton School at a ‘Just Living’ UNICEF conference at Castleview school in Sunderland. The meeting, presented by Jilly Hillier, was organised to raise awareness of less fortunate children around the world. It was also linked to the charities Rights Respecting School Award (RRSA), something that Hetton School is working on achieving. Other pupils from different schools, like Shotton School, Glendeen and St. Roberts also attended the gathering that involved teamwork and a DVD containing upsetting facts about infants in less developed countries. A Year 9 student who went to the conference said ,”We had to separate into groups and go around looking at pictures of children who aren’t getting the rights that they’re entitled to, and guess what the right was. Then we got back into groups and discussed methods of fundraising for when we go back our school. We debated about posters and fun runs, but we haven’t come to a decision.” Asked if she would do it again, she replied ,”Definitely. It was really interesting and it gets people to co-operate with each other to make more people realise that there are people in the world who deserve a better life, but yeah I socialised a lot- I even saw my cousin there!” Head of the R.E Department Mrs. McChesney, who was the adult involved said, “The main reason for the meeting was to raise the student’s awareness of being a global citizen, but we had also hoped to build friendships between the pupils at the different schools. I think that the presentation went very smoothly - there were only a few technical difficulties, and the atmosphere was quite chatty. It was quite successful, but I think a lot of that was to do with the constant supply of refreshments!” We asked her if she would do it all over again. We got the answer,” Yes. Feedback from the pupils was very good, with 94% now wanting to do something in school to raise awareness of children’s rights, and 100% have now got a better understanding of what it means to be a global citizen.” So it seems that the conference was a huge success! There could be more to come in the future . . . By Abbie Copeland and Anna Blythe Making and Selling Ducks as a business? Quackers! In mid July, all Year 10 students were given the opportunity to take part in Enterprise Days. The idea behind them was to build the team work skills of the students and encourage students to do their very best in a team situation. In small groups, the students were invited to set up their own companies. These companies included choosing people as buyers, sellers and a manager to oversee operations. In order to make money, each company had to create ducks made out of origami paper. They were awarded money based on the quality of the ducks they made and the quantity. As all the creation was going on, good teamwork was rewarded with bonus money; whilst the Health and Safety crew made sure all the groups were tidy – giving out penalties to those that weren’t. Students received more money for special ducks using original designs. At the end of each day, the winning teams were awarded prizes for making the most money. As Daniel Christie in Year 10 put it, ‘I thought it would be really boring but it was a great day, one that I really enjoyed and learnt something from.’ by Zohaib Ali Year 7 Cricket Champions Meet the Sports Captains Hetton plays hockey

The Sport captains in Hetton School are people who like sports, are good at motivating people and definitely good at organising teams and sporting events. The Captains participate in the Hetton School Annual Sports Day, organise the teams to the best they can be in their house they have a better chance of winning and help setting things up and Callum Burdon Tiegen Bainbridge recording scored during events. They also organise Substitutes in case a member of the chosen team is off and make sure that everyone knows specifically where they are going and what events they are taking part in. We interviewed a few of the current house captains as well as a few previous house captains. Shannon Cunnington and Amy Savage (previous house captains) as well as Tiegan Bainbridge and Callum Burdon (current house captains) and they told us that they enjoyed being captains because they were able to take charge and organise teams for all sporting events like sports day. We also asked them how the teachers chose the captains and they said that all people who wanted to be a Sport Captain had to apply by an application form , which then went on to the P.E teachers who chose the most sensible and reliable people to be captains.

We did this last year and raised approximately £1800. We are keen to raise a good amount this year. As well as the event being in aid of charity, it also meant that we could include the activity as part of our Health related Exercise Module, including doing exercises which can raise the heart rate etc. Miss Ravera Year 11 Work Experience In late October, students from Year 11 went out on their annual Work Experience. Businesses around the area kindly took students in to give them an introduction to the world of work. Hetton Headlines caught up with some of Lauren the students involved:

Lauren West – Whitegate Equestrian Centre

I had a really hands-on work experience week. Looking after the horses and keeping the stables clean is a really big job. I was involved in taking the horses into the field; bathing and washing the horses; cleaning up and mucking out! It was a really good week, especially as I was just round the corner from my home.

Jade Anderson – First N Style Clothing Jade I spent the week working for a clothes shop in the Galleries, Washington. The shop had plenty of customers. I was involved with keeping stock levels as they should be; helping and advising customers. I was surprised just how busy the shop was and the sheer number of people that visit the Galleries each day.

Kelly Keegan – Emersons Pet Care

I worked at a Pet Shop in Washington. The noise was quite a shock, with the sound of animals quite constant. Despite being quite a small shop, there were plenty of staff and lots of customers. I was mainly involved with stocking shelves; Kelly weighing out foods and feeding the animals. I found the week really quite tiring.

Leanne Woods and Alex McCulloch – Surreal Creative

Leanne - this has been a challenging week. We were asked to create a project at the start of the week that could be used for a media product. I chose to create the cover for a new computer game. I’ve been using Adobe Illustrator to make the project look good. Alex - for my own creative project, I chose to do a film. I created a film from scratch – a full synopsis of the film. From there I chose the features I would like to Leanne see on the film poster and have been creating the poster since. It’s been great to have such a project to focus on. I’ve been using Adobe Photoshop to create my poster.

Alicia Coxon – East Rainton Primary School

This has been a really busy week for me. I spent much of the start of the week working with students in Reception and Year 1 class acting as a teaching assistant. I’ve had the chance to help students to learn to read and really support them whenever I can. As the week has gone on, I’ve had the chance to move higher up in the school to work with students as they approach their SATs exams. Alex

Lindsey Stephenson – Morrisons

This week has been a challenge but very enjoyable. I’ve had quite a journey just to get to work but I’ve found that staff in the shop work really hard to ensure the supermarket looks at its best. I’ve been working on the health and beauty department ensuring the shelves are well stocked and everything looks as it should. by Mr. Hindle Alicia TREAT TROLLY MANIA!

Our Summer Attendance presentations this year were carried out by Lance Corporal Andrew Wardle: a winner of the Military Cross for bravery. Andrew, a former Hetton School student, saved the life of a 10 year old Afghan boy; running into a field directly in the line of gun fire. How did you feel when you saved that little boy’s life?

This had also led to accidents round the corner towards East Rainton. As you approach the main entrance to the school, you’ll notice it’s now a 30mph speed limit – much safer for all involved. Also, as you drive past the school towards East Rainton, new 40mph signs have appeared.
