Yesterday saw the best of RGS students as they danced in their Houses, got into the Christmas spirit and had fun watching the staff trying to join in. This whole event was planned by the students who wanted to raise money to provide more outdoor, shared seating space for students to use. Thank you to everyone who has already donated, the GoFundMe link will stay on our website and I look forward to the next Student Council meeting in January where they can assess their progress towards their target. You only have to browse this edition of the newsletter to get a flavour of the many varied trips, events and opportunities which our students have been able to participate in over the course of the last two terms. Can I take this opportunity to thank all the staff who regularly give up their own time to make these possible and to all the students who represent the school in such a positive and inspirational light. I have recently hosted another ‘Afternoon Tea with the Head’ for students who have made a significant contribution by volunteering outside of school or supporting others in school and all of those invited shared a positive attitude to helping others and being their best. It makes me very proud to spend this time with students and hear about their wonderful achievements. I would like to wish everyone a very Merry Christmas. I hope you all have a relaxing and enjoyable break and I look forward to seeing you in the New Year. Mrs Brinklow Head of School Page 2 RGS Newsletter RGS R OBOTICS CLUB The RGS Robotics Club recently competed in the First Lego League tournament held at Kent University, at Canterbury. They went up against a dozen other local schools in a series of challenges. The Robotics Club has been working to prepare for this event for many months by meeting together during lunchtimes and after school. They were led by Mr Jackson and Sixth Form student David Fadare who served as the coach for the team. The theme for this year was “Into Orbit”. The team researched the challenges of space flight and focused their efforts on how a base could be built on Mars. They further explained the steps that would be necessary to terraform the planet to support human life. Although they were under intense pressure in front of the judging panel the students were impressively calm and confidently presented their ideas and research. They then competed in the robotics portion of the tournament by designing, building, and programming a robot made from Lego Technic pieces. The robot had to complete a series of tasks within a certain time frame. The students then explained the design of their robot to a panel of judges. In true RGS style they incorporated a number of Thinking Maps into their presentation to show the steps taken in the design process. The team excelled on the teamwork portion of the event. Half the team was a shown a complex structure made of many different Lego bricks of various sizes and colours. They then had to instruct the other half of the team, who hadn’t seen the structure, how to assemble it from the many disassembled parts. Our students quickly devised a strategy to divide the task into small portions for which each member was responsible. They perfectly completed the task in an astonishingly short period of time. The judges were very impressed how they made this task seem effortless and awarded them the first place trophy for demonstrating the Core Values of Teamwork. Many of the students for this event have been members of the Robotics Club since its start three years ago. The Year 7 students in the Robotics Club are currently learning the basics of the programming software, so they can participate in the upcoming Tomorrow’s Engineers Lego Robotics competition that will be held in February. Mr Jackson Curriculum Leader of Science D UKE OF E DINBURGH BRONZE AWARD: 14th – 16th September & 5th-7th October 2018, Year 10 students completed their Bronze Assessed Expedition, in the beautiful Kent countryside. Students had to work as a team to navigate a planned route of approximately 27km, carrying all their equipment for the weekend. They had to work as a team, to plan and cook meals for the whole weekend, and show camp craft skills with putting up their tents. Students are now working towards completing all the sections of their Bronze Duke of Edinburgh Award, in order to complete it by the Christmas deadline. SILVER/GOLD AWARD: This year has without doubt been the most successful year the school has ever had for students participating in the Duke of Edinburgh award. A total of 183 students from Years 9 to 12 successfully completed Bronze, Silver and Gold expeditions this year. Since the last report I wrote in the summer, students have taken part in 5 expeditions in Sittingbourne, Dover, the Ashdown Forest, the Peak District and Dart- moor. Our 2 Gold groups walked about 80 km over the 4 days of their expeditions and had life changing experiences along the way. I am very excited about the prospect of join- ing 4 new Gold groups next summer when they complete their expeditions. We are cur- rently encouraging the students to upload their evidence so that they can finish the awards and receive their certificates at the presentation evening in March. I would not be able to do this without the support of our activity provider the Medway Open Award Centre and the many staff who freely give their time to help and assess groups and I thank them for their efforts. Dr Vickery TSAT DofE Manager Issue 1 2018 Page 3 S ENIOR PRIZE GIVING 2018 On the evening of Thursday 1st November students from Years 11, 12 and 13 gathered in the hall, accompanied by their proud families, so that they could be presented with a range of certificates and awards based on their achievements in the summer. Year 11 and Year 12 were being recognised for their outstanding achievements in external examinations, which are always a daunting prospect. Our students showed real resilience to not only meet this challenge but, in many cases, surpass it. Academic success was not the only achievement to be acknowledged. Awards were also presented to students for their sporting prowess, as well as special awards for students who have impacted upon school, the community or wider society in a positive and inspiring way. The talent of the students was exemplified by the impressive musical interludes throughout the evening. The guest speaker was Fiona Carragher, Deputy Chief Scientific Officer for England and, very importantly, Head Girl for RGS in 1988, the year of the school’s centenary celebrations. Fiona spoke about what she believes to be the gift and privilege of service and inspired the room with her personal experience of the fundamental role that scientists play in the medical treatment of individuals and science’s contribution to the NHS. It was humbling to hear about her direct involvement in furthering medical science and the lives that have been saved as a result. The warmth with which she spoke about her time at RGS and the honour she felt being Head Girl during the centenary was amusing and stirring in equal measure. She was an inspirational speaker to a hall full of talented, aspirational students. Mr Dowling N ATIONAL YOUTH ORCHESTRA Annabel Beniston - Recently Annabel has been a leading soloist in RGS concerts including performing on the double bass at Founders Day and Open Day. She is a member of NChant, RGS Symphony Orchestra, RGS Chamber Orchestra, Dynamic Voices, RGS Wind Band and the Sorelle String Ensemble (and that’s only in school). Annabel has also been busy this term auditioning for the National Youth Orchestra of Great Britain, widely regarded as one of the finest youth ensembles in the world. We are delighted to say her hard work and dedication has paid off as she has been selected to join them at their first course at the end of December. The National Youth Orchestra of Great Britain selects only the best instrumentalists from across the UK and works with them over a week long residential course performing some of the most challenging music. Annabel’s first performance nearby will be on the 5th January at the Barbican, London.

    THE IMPORTANCE OF SPORTS LEADERS Schools are under a lot of pressure to get good results and this in turn is passed on to the pupils. But surely, we should be helping the pupils to become well rounded people rather than treating them like robots in an exam factory. Schools need to prepare their pupils for life after school and improve their personal qualities and employability skills. Children need to be able to communicate and have the confidence to be able to work as an individual and as part of a team. They need to be organised, take responsibility and show Issue 30 initiative to solve problems. This is why sports leaders/young leaders/playground leaders/games/sports organising crew and active health ambassadors are so important. The benefits of these courses are huge – it helps their emotional well-being whilst keeping Spring their mind and body healthy. 2020 The start of my year was jam-packed running 6 young leader’s courses for my primary schools and it was lovely to be asked to return to Riverside and Cedar after an absence of a few years. The children enjoy these courses and get a lot from them. During the course I can see their confidence improve as they realise that they can achieve the set tasks. And by the end of the course their self-esteem WELCOME. has grown and they believe that they can be responsible for leading younger children. I always think that it’s a shame, although quite understandable, that their teachers cannot watch them go through the process.
