February 2016 NEWSLETTER

From the Headteacher We have had another busy half-term. We have recently been meeting with all our year 11 pupils to discuss their mock exam results and help them to plan on how they will build on their recent successes for the summer and beyond. The message is clear to all our pupils – with hard work and determination they will succeed in their exams!

There is so much more though to BSG as you will be able to see from the stories in this newsletter. Last week our senior team led by Olivia Burt and Caitlin Gregory organised an excellent conference with inspiring speakers on the theme of ‘unleash your potential’ for pupils and parents. In this newsletter you can read more about it along with a whole range of other successes this half term. I am sure par- ents will join me in thanking staff who give up so much of their own time to support the girls in their various activities and events.

It has been a particular privilege to interview over 70 students from Year 12 who have applied to be a part of our sen- ior prefect team. I am always humbled at the sheer range of talent and involvement in both the school and wider commu- nity which so many girls show.

My thanks go to our outgoing senior team so ably led by our Head Girl Olivia and her deputy Caitlin, and our team of House Captains who have done sterling service this year. I am delighted that we have made the following appointments for the coming year:

Head Girl Bridget Dence

Deputy Head Girl Megan Lucas

House Captain Katy Packer Austen Deputy House Captain Beatrice Skene

House Captain Katie Arnold Curie Deputy House Captain Jack Searle House Captain Ellie Horan Franklin Deputy House Captain Jasmine Pang House Captain Charlotte Thomas Parks Deputy House Captain Daisy Christian-Edwards

House Captain Hannah Mayne Rossetti Deputy House Captain Amber Nicholas

House Captain Frances Hand Shelley Deputy House Captain Ethel Lingad

I hope you have all a restful half term break and we send best wishes to all going on the school ski trip next week to America. My grateful thanks to all staff accompanying the visit who are giving of their time so freely for the benefit of the girls.

We are looking forward to a sell-out PSA Quiz Night after half term. Over 160 mums, dads, daughters, staff and friends are joining us for a night of trivia and curry. This is always an excellent social occasion! If you have not bought tickets yet you may not be too late!

To the following pupil who has achieved one hundred and twenty merits: Alice Dawson

In January, fourteen year 13 biologists took part in the British Biology Olympiad (BBO). The BBO is an international competition open to students around the world that challenges and stimulates students with an interest in biology to expand and extend their talents. It enables students to demonstrate their knowledge and to be suitably rewarded and publicly recognised by the award of medals, certificates and other prizes. It is hoped that competing in the Olympiad will encourage students already interested in this valuable, wide-ranging and rewarding subject to continue their study beyond A-level. It consisted of two 1 hour multiple choice papers taken online.

Students did really well and achieved the following results:

Claudia Santoni Gold Mengting Chen Bronze Annabelle Culling Highly commended

Rebecca Price Gold Alix Zelly Bronze Inger Nyman Highly commended

Madeleine Taylor Gold Natalie Pursglove Bronze Maya Darnton Highly commended

Bryony Barker Silver Erin Robinson Bronze Celeste Man Highly commended Georgia Slater Silver Siliang Yao Bronze

Claudia Santoni was one of the top gold medal winning students that took part internationally and now goes forward to take an additional paper in March to compete for a place on the UK team that will enter the International Biology Olympiad to be held in Vietnam later in the year.

Many thanks to all year 7 students who took part in the Spellathon last term. An incredible £1,381 was raised and sent to Mencap to help young people with learning disabilities. Many students succeeded in learning all 100 words. A special mention should go to 7C who raised a very impressive £576.75, and to Rebecca Geldart in 7R who raised £140 on her own.

Both our Schools Challenge squads did very well this half-term.

In the Junior Schools Challenge competition (years 7 and 8), January 25th saw our 3 teams at Bryanston for the Wessex regional contest in which 16 teams from 10 schools took part. Although none of the teams reached the semi-final, our ‘B’ Team, comprising Mali Foote, Emily McLellan, Samantha Radaelli and Rebecca Warner, though knocked out in the first round, recovered gallantly and sailed through to win the Plate competition.

The senior team (Sarah Harlow Boardman, Jack Searle, Caitlin Ridgway and Grace Weaver) travelled to King’s College, Taunton, to play the Wessex regional final. After a slow start, they pulled ahead to win convincingly by 580 points to 450, and now go forward to play an Inter-Regional match after the half-term break (though we don’t yet know which school they’ll be playing).

On Monday Feb 22nd Freya Pretty in 9P is having at least 17cm cut off her hair for our house charity. The charity makes real hair wigs for children who have lost their own hair for any reason. This is a very brave decision considering it has taken her 7 years to grow her hair to the length it is. I will be announcing this in our house assembly and girls will have the oppor- tunity to donate then, but should you wish to make a donation through Freya’s “Just Giving” page here is the link: https://www.justgiving.com/Freya-Pretty13/ . Each wig costs £350 to make so that is Freya’s target. I am really proud of Freya for making such a selfless decision in order to make a child happy. House charities are not just about making money but about making a difference: Freya is definitely doing that. Many thanks for your support.

DRAMA All year 8 pupils watched a live performance of Forest Forge in performance ‘Hansel and Gretel’ in Studio D1 at BSG on Tuesday 19th January. The show was performed by Forest Forge, a local professional theatre company and thoroughly enjoyed by all. Just three actors took on all roles including the building of the set and technical elements. The show contributes to the year 8 Technical Theatre unit but also taught them a lot about multi-roling and characterisation. The girls asked many pertinent and intelligent questions after the performance and it proved, yet again, to have been a most worthwhile and enjoyable event.

On Wednesday 20th January, 64 year 11 pupils enjoyed a live production of ‘The Woman in Black’ at the Fortune Theatre in London. Despite the screams (!), everyone thoroughly enjoyed the performance and can write about it if they choose to in the written examination in the summer.

Digital Day is an initiative which takes place annually, in October, in over a 100 schools around the UK with the aim of getting more young people immersed in the fast-evolving world of digital. It joins up many of the country’s top digital agencies with schools to help students between 15 and 18 years old to become more aware of the UK’s thriving digital industry.

Each year, the students are set a challenge to think up a digital solution to a relevant issue, with help and guidance from a top agency. This year Redweb, a local digital agency, sent nine of their best and brightest to spend a day at Bournemouth School for Girls. The event kicked off with a presentation on the UK’s digital industry and another on Redweb and the work they do; before getting to work on the day’s challenge.

Students were tasked with producing a digital solution that could help people save money. The challenge, set out by Standard Life, was set following research that showed Britons are among the worst at saving money across the whole of Europe. This especially applies to young people, as a recent survey estimated only a third of Britons aged 21 to 24 are financially literate.

All year 10 graphics students took part in the event last year with the work of five groups of students getting selected to progress to the next, national rounds of judging. Fast forward to February this year and we have recently found out that our girls have done particularly well.

Coming in second place nationally and highly commended by the judges was an idea called “Fun’d” developed by Amy, Cerys, Elizabeth, Eujin and Isabelle; an amazing achievement.

Even more amazing is that an idea called “Squirrel” imagined by Alice, Elizabeth, Lauren and Zara was selected as the winner above the thousands of entries. Well done BSG!

The winning girls have scooped some fantastic prizes including a trip to Channel 4 news to see behind the scenes, a trip to see how a top video game development company works, £500 to our school and more. Hopefully in future newsletters you can read how the girls get on.

BSG travelled down to Plymouth on Sunday 31st January 2016 to represent Dorset in the zonal finals of the English Schools Table Tennis Association Team Championships. Teams from Dorset, Devon, Cornwall, Wiltshire and Somerset competed to qualify as zonal winners to progress to the regional round. BSG had two teams, U13 and U16. Matches are based on each ranked player playing two matches, the best of five sets. The U13 team consisting of Lucy Hill 8P, Ron Rubin 8S, Kayleigh Rees 7P and Katie Holt (Captain) 8C, were hoping to better last year’s result missing out on qualification by one game. All four players easily won their first matches against Cornish opposition Camborne Science and International College wining 8-0. In the second fixture against Haygrove, the team knew that this would be the hardest opposition and were determined that they would win, which they did 5-3. Stover School from Devon proved an easy opponent with BSG winning 8-0. BSG were crowned South West Winners and will now go through to the Regional Finals held in Bristol on Sunday 21st March. The U16 team consisting of Olivia Jeyatheva 10R, Ruby Zhang 9A, Olivia Dark 9P and Anais Robbins 9P, faced tough opposition from all three of their opponents, many of whom compete on a national level. For all members this was their first experience of this level of competition and should be commended on their determination and enthusiasm. They unfortunately didn’t qualify for the next round but were placed 3rd out of the South West area. Congratulations to both teams on their hard work and success.

The U13 team had their first tournament of the season playing Lockyers A and 1st team at Hurn indoor cricket centre on 4th February. Captain Sara Allport was the only year 8 and did a fantastic job of organising the rest of the year 7 players (Sylvi Pickering, Hermione Cull, Alex Avoth, Emilie Castagna, Lily Rayner, Hannah Saunders) most of whom have not played competitively before. In their first match they beat the A team 78 to 48 with a dominant fielding display. In the second match against the B team and feeling more relaxed with one win under their belts they dominated with the bat winning 136 to 64. We wish them luck in the County finals on March 16th at Canford School.

BSG had the pleasure of hosting the Bournemouth Schools High Five tournament once again this year. Twenty one Bournemouth Primary Schools participated in this popular annual event with the top two placed teams qualifying through to the Dorset Finals. This year the tournament was won by St Katherine's after a well contested final against St James. Twenty two girls from Year 9 and 10 volunteered to officiate at the tournament which could not take place without their involvement. The officials were praised for their competency in their role by many of the Primary school members of staff which is a great credit to our students. Well done to the BSG officials and a big thank you for all your hard work in making this such a successful tournament. Miss Allen. The BSG team of officials from Year 9 and 10: Emily Moss, Emily Durrans, Harriet Leaton, Isobel Brearley, Lola-Rae Quinn, Heather Lonnon Phoebe Collins, Yolanda Littleboy, Sally Morgan, Hannah Woodward, Kezia Westall, Eve Carruthers, Phoebe Lowe, Alice Nevin, Anna Collins, Ophelia Lieng, Imogen Burrell, Alice Morgan, Anna Shearer, Libby Larkin, Alicia Markham, Libby Watton.

U19 South West Regional Netball Finals 2016T

This tournament took place on a cold, wet and windy January day in Cornwall, clearly rather testing conditions for any netballer. However the level of performance in the U19 age category was exceptionally high with great court craft and individual flair demonstrated throughout the group matches. As a team, BSG worked incredibly hard on the court and the matches lost were only by small margins. Confidence grew as the tournament went on and the team contested very tough games right to the end. BSG finished in an impressive 11th Place in the South West Region. We look forward to once again challenging for a place in the national competition next year.

Dorset Schools Cross-Country Championships 2016

BSG once again entered a team in each of the age categories Aisha Wilson &Emilie Castagna (Dorset champion at the Dorset Cross-County Championships. With a combination of experience runners and others who faced the challenge of a County competition for the very first time. All the girls gave 100 percent and it was great to see a number of BSG students achieving a top 20 finishing place. Congratulations for outstanding performances from Bridget Dence (Year 12 – 2nd place) Aisha Wilson (Year 7 – 5th place) and Emilie Castagna (Year 7 – 1st place and Dorset Champion!) Following on from their exceptional performances in this event Bridget, Emilie and Aisha have been selected to run for Dorset in the South West Championships in February. Bridget has unfortunately had to pull out of this event however we would like to wish our Year 7 students Emilie and Aisha good luck for this next major Championship.

Emilie Castagna and Aisha Wilson represented Dorset in the South West Schools Cross Country championships, which were held in Cheltenham on a cold, windy and wet Saturday 6th February. They both ran superbly against strong opposition with Emilie finishing 4th and Aisha 6th. Congratulations to them both.

Jasmine Holmes (12.4) competed at Ponds Forge, Sheffield in Level 1 Open Meet on 6th February 2016. She competed in several events with excellent results. We are delighted to report that in the 200m freestyle event. Jasmine achieved the 2016 Olympics Trial qualifying time and will be eligible to compete against Britain’s Elite swimmers in Glasgow in April! Congratulations and good luck! On February 3rd , both our junior and senior badminton teams took part in the County Final of the English Schools badminton competition. The junior team won all their five matches easily beating Emmanuel and St. Edwards in the pool stages. The senior team did the same beating the Grange and Blandford on their route to the final. Both teams met Woodroffe in the final. For the junior team they once again did not lose a match and look forward to tougher competition in the next round at Plymouth on March 10th. The senior team will join them as they won 4-1 in a close fought competition that was a joy to watch for the high standard of play. Congratulations to all players and good luck for the Regionals
