Thursday 16th April Another Successful Presentation Evening At Fulston Manor’s annual Presentation Evening, on Thursday 12th September, staff, students, parents and invited guests gathered to celebrate the outstanding success of those receiving certificates and awards. Students received certificates and special awards for particular subjects or specific achieve- ments and for their participation in various parts of school life. One of the top trophies, The Rockall Trophy For Progress Throughout The Student’s School Life, was won by Freddie Hyatt who, as well as making wonderful academic progress during his time at Fulston Manor School, has developed into a kind, caring and motivated young man, willingly giving up his time to mentor a lower school student. We must also mention Finn Tumber who was awarded the Sophie Lintott Award for Student Personali- ty of The Year. Finn joined Fulston Manor in the Sixth Form with a bright and bubbly disposition and it is safe to say that he hasn’t stopped smiling from that point on. Following any conversation or time spent with Finn, you can only come away feeling positive and uplifted. All members of staff, who have had the pleasure to work with Finn, would say the same and, as our student personality of the year, he could not be beaten. We wish Finn all the best for his future. The Guest of Honour this year was Mr Gordon Henderson, Member of Parliament for Sittingbourne and Sheppey who spoke about never giving up and working hard to achieve your goals. Mr Alan Brookes, Executive Headteacher, said “Presentation Evening was a perfect opportunity to congratulate all of the students on their dedication and hard work and to wish them well for the future. It has been a wonderful evening of celebrations and it was excellent to have been joined by Mayor of Swale, Councillor Ken Ingleton, who could see how proud we are of our students”. 2 Special Awards were given to a large number of students who had excelled in particular subjects and for a variety of reasons Headteacher's Prizes Chloe Ellingham, Toby McGinn The John Burleigh Prize for Art and Design Lois Wood The Jenny Smith Prize for Business Studies Freddie Hyatt The Irene Thomson Prize for Design Technology Isabel Judge The Lesley Brookes' Prize for English Emily Hall The Hays Education Prize for Financial Studies Finn Tumber The Governors' Prize for Geography Joseph Williams The April George Prize for Health and Social Care Lauren Damiral The Nick Powley Prize for History Zoe Wallis The Governors’ Prize for Computing Elizabeth Lowe The Ann Hanger Prize for Individual Instrumentalist Rebecca Forster The Gloria Barnett Prize for Science Erin Chappell The Governors’ Prize for Law Mary Sobayo The June Madell Prize for Mathematics Rian Leggett The Governors' Prize for Psychology Emily Hall The Gill Haddow Prize for Modern Languages Mia Nyberg The Ickham Cup for Music Nathan Ottaway The Alex Wheeler Prize for Performing Arts Olivia Patching The Hilary Langdon Prize for Photography Elizabeth Lowe The Governors' Prize for Film Studies Jennifer Li The Chris Seppala Prize for Religious Studies Lauren Damiral The Governors' Prize for Sociology Ebonie Ainger The Governors' Prize for Textile Design Emily Cale Outstanding Services to Peer Mentoring Lois Wood The Governors' Prize for Academic Achievement Year 11 Katherine Adams, Mark Chittenden, Mahdin Chowdhury, Hannah Davies, Chloe Ellingham, Laura Hunt, William Kilby, Mia Nyberg, Lauren Scott, Bethany Ward The Glencairn Trophy for KS4 Academic Achievement Kirsti Genfi , James Harvey 3 Special Awards were given to a large number of students who had excelled in particular subjects and for a variety of reasons Continued The Governors’ Prize for Academic Achievement—Sixth Rebecca Christmas, Lauren Damiral, Edward Form Dickinson, Emily Hall, Elizabeth Lowe, Grace Munday, Nathan Ottaway, Cameron Ralph, Faith Shackleford, Joseph Williams, Lois Wood Shilling PrIze for KS5 Academic Achievement Rian Leggett Governors’ Prize for Progress: KS4 Chloe Ellingham Christ Church University Prize Harry Straine-Francis Governors’ Prize for Progress: KS5 Brook Nelson The Old Fulstonians’ Trophy for Contribution to Sport Adam Silveston The PTA Trophy for Achievement in Sport Willow Floodgate The Andy Walsh Prize for Contributions to Business and Liza Putinas Community Links De-Groot Prize for Innovation Daniel Gray The Terry Wollard Prize for Contribution to the Cultural Maddie Smith Life of the School The Sue Carver Prize for Contribution to Sixth Form Life Jennifer Li Les Holland’s Prize for Contribution to School Life Faith Shackleford The Andrew Dunk Trophy for Service to the School Liza Putinas ‘May they learn the art of friendship’ Sophie Lintott Finn Tumber Award for Student Personality of the Year Rockall Trophy for Progress throughout the Student’s Freddie Hyatt School Life 4 Marcus Gains His Black Belt At The Tender Age Of 12! Following on in the footsteps of his brother, Marcus Duplock, is a keen participant in the martial art of Taekwondo. Marcus has been training for 9 years, since he was 3, and visits his Donjang in Sittingbourne twice a week for an hour at a time to practice his spar- ring. The Year 7 Morrison student undertook a grading on 6th July which lasted over 3 hours on a hot afternoon and, a couple of week- ends later, attended a presentation night where he received the re- sults. Dad, Stephen, said “I’m pleased to say he passed his exam and has been awarded his 1st degree Black Belt”. To say that Marcus is pleased is an understatement. Older brother Joshua, a 2nd Dan Black belt, is also incredibly proud of his younger sibling – in fact, every- one here at Fulston is. Well done Marcus! Lucy Gets Awarded For Her Football Prowess Head girl, Lucy Davis, was amazed to be given two awards at the end of season event for her football club, Sittingbourne Ladies, on Saturday 13th July. Lucy, 15, has played football since the age of 8 and received her 5 Years of Service Award and, more importantly, the Managers Player of the Year award. Having trained for 1 ½ hours, twice a week her dedica- tion to her sport has paid off. Lucy’s other passion is playing the piano which just goes to show her dexterity. Having received the awards Lucy said “It was an amazing evening and I was really surprised, lots of people were proud of me – especially my dad”. Angel has Her Heart Set On Blackpool Year 7 Cromer student, Angel Kean, was utterly exhausted having tak- en part in ballroom dancing qualifiers on Sunday 14th July. Angel has been dancing since she was 4 years old and her favourite dance is Rock ‘n Roll. She practises every week with Star Dance at South Ave- nue Junior School and loves every second of it. Angel’s other hobby is drawing and art so she is obviously a creative person both on and off the dance floor. The 11 year old student said “I am really pleased to say that, having tried to qualify for four years, I have actually suc- ceeded in my goal. I cannot wait to travel and dance in such a won- derfully famous place as Blackpool’s Tower Ballroom ”. 5 Ben Becomes Work Experience Blog- Year 11 student Ben Sharp completed a week worth of Work Experience at Canterbury Christ Church University at the end of the summer term. He had an amazing week and this is what he said: My school library compared to Canterbury Christ Church University’s Library When thinking about Fulston Manor School’s Library, the difference in size is striking! It’s within one large room with a number of printed books and has its own app with e-books compared to the large building housing Canterbury Christ Church University’s library, Augustine House. CCCU’s Library has approximately 320,000 books and 170,000 e-books. The school library has technology, including a lap- top trolley and a book withdrawal/return system that only Student Librarians and the Librarian can use.

  • Andrew Larkin and Dave Puplett Title: Boun
    Publication: Taking Stock – The Journal of the National Acquisitions Group Authors: Andrew Larkin and Dave Puplett Title: Bound Together: How 3 Universities share the remarkable Drill Hall Library Edition / Volume: Summer 2014 – Vol.23 / No.1 The Drill Hall Library is one of the many Grade 2 listed buildings on the Chatham Maritime campus of Universities at Medway. This legacy building, originally known as the Drill Shed, was completed around 1902 and was a key facility for the naval base, housing servicemen during WW1 and functioning as an indoor drill area during peacetime. In 1917 the building was bombed and 135 persons were tragically killed. A plaque outside the main entrance commemorates this event and the Royal Navy holds annual dedication ceremonies on the site. The youngest victim of the bombing was 17 year old Archibald Hay, and the library café is named in honour of this young victim of war. Although it was empty from 1983 and seemingly without function, the last 9 years have seen the building take on a new lease of life and it is now full of people again, as it was during its naval heyday. The building is still very much part of the local community with ex-servicemen and members of the public visiting regularly. A history of collaboration and stock mergers existed well before the creation of the Drill Hall Library and the Universities at Medway concept. In 1996 the incumbent collection of the Natural Resources Institute (NRI) was merged with incoming stock from the University of Greenwich Schools of Science and Engineering.
