BBG Bulletin Issue ISSUE 123 10th January 2020 It seems that every new year brings a certain amount of both melancholy and anticipation in equal measures: melancholy for the year that has been, and anticipation for what lies ahead. And in this twilight time – before the realities of January have truly hit – we take some time to think about what has gone before, and what is to come. First, for the melancholy. 2019 was a roller-coaster of a year for us! Some of the highs include the ever-increasing number of students who threw themselves into outside events like pantomimes, dances and sporting events. We also opened a new wing here onsite at BBG, after a gruelling 50 weeks of building. We had some fantastic successes in our curriculum, especially with our applied resilience lessons where we watched as students developed skills ranging from baking, to skiing, to media presentations. We saw students achieve impressive exams results at GCSE, and go on to spectacular new pathways in their next stages of education. It is always bittersweet to reflect on these things, because we know that they were so special to have experienced them, but now they have gone. But, even as we feel this bittersweet nostalgia, we know that their transient nature is what makes these experiences so special – if they lasted, would we not take them for granted? Now, for the anticipation. 2020. A new year, a new decade, even! All with new, varied, and once-in-a-lifetime opportunities for #TeamBBG. We are so excited for this year! We have a multitude of jaw-dropping trips that will be taking place: France, as ever, for our Year 7 students to develop their resilience and character. Italy and Slovenia for our skiiers – three spectacular days in *both* countries to allow for a broader, better, more luxurious experience. Iceland for our geographers (Polar Bears! Volcanoes! Mountains!) and New York City (Theatre! Pizza! Skyscrapers!) for our thespians – we are inundated with bucket-list experiences this year! And these are only the trips abroad; we’ve not even mentioned the trips that will be occurring in England. In short, we have so much to look forward to, it seems churlish to focus on the melancholy when we have such a bright year to anticipate. But that, it seems, is the nature of things. We won’t dwell, though – we will now put aside our sadness, thank 2019 for its lessons and its light, and we set our sight on the year ahead. We also thank our fantastic students, supportive parents, committed colleagues and outstanding community for everything they’ve done to bring #TeamBBG together. 2020, we’re coming for you! Bethany Stones achieved a Grade 6 in GCSE Art in the Class of 2019 Our featured performer this week is Polly Wragg of Year 8. Polly has taken part in a number of school performances since joining Team BBG in Year 7. She is a member of the choir and drama club, and she also performs regularly outside school. Polly moved to Yorkshire from Surrey at the age of 7, and her parents spotted that there was a dancing school really close to their new house. They thought it might be a good way for Polly to meet new friends and start a new hobby, so they signed her up for lessons in street dance at Ambition Academy in Gomersal. She had tried a little bit of dance when she lived in Surrey, but hadn’t really taken to it, so she told her parents that she definitely, DEFINITELY did not want to go! Her parents persisted though, and Polly loved it from day one. Pretty soon she had started ballet too, and then came musical theatre, modern jazz, commercial, lyrical… you name it, she does it! Ambition Academy has a tradition of doing an annual Hallowe’en flashmob in Cleckheaton. The dancers from every street dance class and every age group get together to perform a choreographed piece in secret. Polly loves the atmosphere of the performance, because nobody expects it to happen, and everyone is really surprised to see a group of 30 dancers in Hallowe’en make-up unexpectedly turning up to dance. The group also perform at Batley Town Hall and Cleckheaton Town Hall twice a year. Polly loves everything about dance, and could not choose a favourite dance style. However, there is so much more to performing arts than just sheer enjoyment for Polly. Polly was diagnosed at a young age with 22Q.11.2 DiGeorge Syndrome, which affects her life in lots of ways. Polly finds some aspects of school challenging, and DiGeorge Syndrome causes her muscles to tighten and be very painful. Performing helps Polly’s fitness and muscle development, and remembering the routines and instructions helps to train her brain. One of the biggest challenges Polly is working on overcoming is learning lines for drama performances. She finds it quite stressful, but her mum has found that the best way to calm her is to read her lines to her pet dog Indie. Polly says that the biggest impact performing arts has had on her life is in developing her confidence. She now feels much less shy about speaking in front of other people, and has made lots of new friends. She would recommend it to anyone! We have had a number of student successes in the Performing Arts over the last few weeks. Alex Porter of Year 9 recently received the news that she has passed her Grade 3 LAMBDA (London Academy of Music and Dramatic Arts) Drama exam. Alex had to do a number of performances, learn scripts off by heart and interpret them for the examiner. Alex said it was tough to learn everything, but she is really happy to have achieved a distinction. Zoe Cole of Year 10 attends the same dance school (The Emma Coombs Dance Academy), and was awarded the Endeavour Award for all her hard work and contributions to the dance school. Bethany Edwards from Year 7 helped out during the Christmas period serving food to the homeless at the Street Kitchen on Boxing Day. She helped prepare the Christmas dinner and then stood with the rest of the team making sure everybody managed to get something. They feed around 70 people on each feed, twice a week, and even though they get donations from Greggs, the bakers and Co-op Fare Share most of the food is cooked by their own volunteers, who take their own time and money to help the cause. Matilda Finn in Form 7.6 was delighted to receive the ‘Tap Trophy’ for her age group in the recent prize giving ceremony at The Emma Coombs Dance Academy. This award is given to one student in recognition of their effort, commitment and achievement over the course of the year. It rounds off a super year for Matilda after achieving a distinction in her Grade 4 tap exam and successfully auditioning for a place in "Tap Attack". She attends their Northern Associates classes in Halifax once a month in addition to her usual lessons at TECDA. Matilda has attend the Academy since the age of three. She enjoys learning many different dance styles but tap has always been her favourite. Jay Sheard in Year 9 recently worked with his grandad as the official photographers and videographers for 2019 Flamborough Fire Festival. Jay’s grandparents live in Flamborough and his grandad is on the Fire Festival Committee and as a keen amateur photographer he was asked to do the official photography for the event. Jay also has an interest in photography so joined his Grandad to help with photography and videography. Jay went to the press release which took place in the afternoon of New Year’s Eve and took photos of the Viking ship and the people dressed in full Viking gear. He then went back to the event for the evening’s festival, where he filmed the Vikings putting on the fire display before torching the Viking ship made for the event. This event is done every year as tradition has it that Flamborough was invaded by the Vikings at the end of the eighth century. During that time, it is thought the community would take to the streets with fire at the end of the year, with an aim of cleansing past spirits and welcoming the new. Some of Jay’s grandad’s pictures from the event have been used by the BBC and Jay’s pictures and videos are on the official fire festival page https://m.facebook.com/FlamboroughFireFestival/ Jay worked really hard and was there till almost 1am, he was very mature and professional and we are sure that he loved being part of such a big event. The highlight of the Flamborough Fire Festival is the burning of the Festival’s Viking Longship! The Longship is built by local Viking warriors during the summer months when, on New Year’s Eve, the Longship is set ablaze by Viking Warriors carrying their fire torches! After a 9 week trial at Bradford City Academy Hudson Rowan has been signed on a two year contract keeping him at the club until 2021. Hudson will train twice a week on Monday and Wednesdays with the Academy and compete against the likes of Leeds United, Sheffield Wednesday and Huddersfield Town. Hudson has now had to leave his Sunday League side Hipperholme which he is sad about, however at the same time excited for the next chapter of his football career. Well done on a fantastic achievement Hudson.

  • Dear Friends the Fact That It׳S Not Helga Writing This Editorial Indicates
    Dear Friends The fact that it’s not Helga writing this editorial indicates something has happened, which indeed it has. In April 2018 Helga stood down as Managing Director. Helga and I have worked together since 1981. This was firstly in another local Christian Centre, then in forming a counselling team in our local church which 4 years later evolved into UCHM. She has been an inspirational leader for so very many people throughout these years. Her dedication towards fulfilling God’s call to her and her passion to make this place a centre of excellence in counselling has never waned. In 1992 standards began to come in to pastoral counselling when the Association of Christian Counsellors was formed. We quickly joined up as this was a real opportunity to ensure high standards in the care we were giving. As ACC developed and changed so did UCHM. Then we also aligned with what many see as the flagship for best practice in Counselling, BAC (British Association for Counselling – now BACP). One thing inspired us – that Christians should be as professionally trained as those training in colleges – but with the added dynamic of God’s presence in the midst of the counselling for those clients who requested this. Things evolve in life and the training certainly did. Helga gradually got courses accredited by ACC but then secularly accredited by Bilston Community College and National Open College Network. Helga was accredited as a counsellor by BACP but then was successful in getting accredited as a trainer. As the years have passed, the courses have been developed to a much higher level, giving the students all they need to apply for accreditation as counsellors with either ACC or BACP, and progress on to degree courses at Universities.
