May I conclude by wishing all members of the BSG We also saw the presentation of certificates by Mrs Jane community and their families a Happy Christmas and a Stichbury to the pupils who have completed the Duke of prosperous and successful New Year! Edinburgh’s Award at school. In addition to over 91 bronze awards, and a silver award to Poppy Bond, it was a particular delight to present gold awards to Mr Brien Olivia Burt, Madeleine Taylor, Rebecca Giddens and Chloe Walker. Congratulations to all girls who participated in any way to make this such a memorable occasion. It was good to welcome older friends of the school to our Amnesty International On Wednesday 9th December, the six Amnesty leaders went to the Houses of Parliament for Amnesty International’s Human Rights Day. It was a great privilege for them to be asked to attend, and they had a brilliant day. You may have seen a couple of ‘Tweets’ on the school Twitter account. As the school newsletter is going to ‘press’, a fuller account of the day will appear in the next edition. In school, we have continued to meet and debate human rights issues, and we have also held a couple of card making sessions so that we can send greetings to prisoners of conscience over the festive season and into the New Year. Thank you to all of you who have been involved with our meetings this half-term. Dr Ellsmore The sixth form has continued to hold regular debates with the boys’ school, alternating venues to tackle questions connected with film re-workings of texts, Trident renewal, and the significance of marriage, among others. Our teams have invariably produced well organised, detailed and persuasive speeches, and delivered them with aplomb in front of large audiences. The rest of the sixth form is to be congratulated on its support; on one occasion seventy students made the journey up the hill at Friday lunchtime. Speeches from the floor are becoming longer and more independent of question format, which is to be applauded. We are very grateful to Mr Bonds and BS for their enthusiastic commitment to this lively joint enterprise, which we much value. From the speaker group Alex White and Niamh Libonatti- Roche were selected to represent us at the local round of the ESU Schools’ Mace competition and performed with assurance and fluency against strong opposition. Mr Hubbard Year 8 Public Speaking This half term year 8 girls have been polishing their public speaking skills. Everyone has selected a subject about which she feels strongly and has prepared a short speech to persuade her classmates to agree with her views. The quality has been particularly high this year and topics have ranged from animal rights to the use of capital punishment (for and against) to gender stereotyping to talking in cinemas and beauty pageants… On 17th December two winners from each class will represent their house in the final. From these finalists, a group will go forward to represent the school at a regional competition. Watch this space! Mrs Burdett As girls perhaps may receive new phones, I pads, etc for Christmas, may I remind parents of the importance of ensuring effective security and parental controls are in place to protect the girls and their friends from unsuitable and upsetting material. The Knitting Club have had a busy term learning to knit various stitches, work with colours and follow basic patterns, just in time to knit festive Christmas tree decorations (Snowmen, Santas, Christmas trees, Gingerbread men, etc)! Some girls are completing this as an activity for their Duke of Edinburgh award, some are completing their Snowdrop awards. In this photo we have Elise Johnstone 8A, Isobel Priestley 7S, Sophie Roberts 7C, Amelie Fox 8S, Holly Sheridan 7P, Grace Weaver 10A, Josiah Cho 10C, Sarah Cole 10C, Eujin Oh 10C, and Elizabeth Dibden 10C. The Knitting Club is an after school extra-curricular activity; we meet on Mondays. D & T Department News The Clothes Show Live @ the NEC On 8th December, a large group of GCSE and A Level Textiles students travelled to Birmingham to attend The Clothes Show at the National Exhibition Centre. The exhibition space was 186,000sqm (making it the largest in the UK) and contained hundreds of well- known and independent brand stalls offering a range of products. For example, makeup by Barry M, Rimmel London and Models Own, and hair care brands like THX, Peaches and Cream, and clothes stores such as ‘Religion’, ‘In The Style’ and ‘Motel Rocks’. The main purpose of the visit was the fashion show, which was insightful and inspiring. The dancers and models were fantastic and stunning and they interacted with the audience well. There was a performance by X Factor contestant Josh Daniels, who sang a lovely rendition of “Runnin’” by Naughty Boy and Beyoncé. The fashion show was also hosted by ‘Made in Chelsea’ star, Jamie Laing. Overall, the experience was thrilling and eye-opening. Seeing the possible career opportunities has confirmed our love for the subject. We want to thank the textiles department- Mrs Crease, Mrs Leese, and Mrs Johnson - for organising and escorting us to what we can confidently say was the best school trip ever! Zhane Rose and Faith Mwangi addition we have seen great sixth form support in the school concert and carol service, and the production of “Daisy”, as well as weekly commitments to CCF, Enterprise Challenge and the Duke of Edinburgh award scheme, to name but a few. Year 12 were outstanding in promoting our sixth form to year 11 students both from BSG and other local schools recently as subject ambassadors at our sixth form information evening in The Sixth Form have been very busy, and there is always November. The sixth form have been very busy, and there is always a “buzz” in the sixth form area.
