This edition comes following the Beast from the East, bringing havoc upon the country and our area. We managed to stave it off on the first day and students are shown (below) creating a 9 foot snowman at break on our Twitter feed. We then unfortunately had to follow suit of all other local secondary schools, having managed to be the only one open on Tuesday in the area, and closed school. Many thanks to all our community through this time, ensuring students safety was paramount. The 'Pest from the West' tried to cause havoc the week after althoughbyline it didn't stick! Staff were slightly impacted on travelling across the border although school[Name] didn't receive a single flake! Students have been busy this term through Years 10 -13 with mock exams in preparation for the Summer exams to come. We wish all our students the greatest of success through this time. A calendar of additional revision sessions is available to students to support them. Wishing all our readers a restful and enjoyable Easter.

Fairtrade Fortnight Bake Sale By Ms Popa & The Eco Group The Eco group would like to thank everyone involved in the Fairtrade bake sale that took place on the 7th March. We managed to raise £63.91, that will most likely go towards a 4th plastic recycling bin to cover the top corridor area! Fiona Protheroe from Green Futures also joined us and took the opportunity to raise students’ awareness regarding the importance of fair trade sourcing and the impact our food and product choices have on the environment, the farmers and the workers involved. The SEN&D Team and Student Services along with the Eco group students gathered forces to organise a fabulous bake sale, during the Fairtrade Fortnight (26th Feb-11th March). Thank you, everyone, we couldn’t have done it without you! Poppy Appeal Thanks By Ms Popa & The Eco Group Tree Planting Believe it or not Spring is here and our students decided to defy both the ‘Beast from the East’ and the ‘Pest from the West’ by summoning good weather with a fantastic tree planting event which involved all year groups. From Year 7 to Sixth Form, students grabbed their spades and planted 60 trees, received from the Woodland Trust through the Free Trees for Schools Programme. We planted dogrose, hawthorn, hazel, crab apple, dogwood, silver birch, rowan, wild cherry in an area that was long overdue some attention. The enthusiasm of our students was contagious and the support from staff heart-warming. We could not have done it without the kind donations of spades, gloves and other tools from staff eager to contribute and we are extremely grateful for everything. Ms Bataller, Ms Craig, Ms Morphet and Mr Bilton were the top stars in terms of donations, but we are thankful for absolutely everything and we apologise for not mentioning all the names of our helpers. Thank you all! This has truly been a beautiful whole school event! Tree Planting By Aimee Culverhouse Yr.9 Karate Achievement I started doing karate when I was six years old like a normal karate student. I enjoyed the classes and made new excellent friends who are like my family right now. I achieved my red, yellow, orange, green, blue, purple and my 3 brown belts at the age 11. I began doing private classes on a Friday with some other kids to lead up to my 1st Dan black belt grading. It was hard work but I achieved my goal and gained my 1st Dan black belt. I went to the club so proud, but the only problem was the old school I used to attend didn't support me, when everyone found out I did karate and I was a 1st Dan black belt I was bullied. I thought about quitting and giving up on my dream about going up to the world championships but I didn’t. I left the school and came to Settle College in November 2017. I took my 2nd Dan black belt again requiring more training then my 1st Dan because it was a higher belt. I had all my friends and family support me and I passed in December. We have a student of the year award and it was awarded to me because of all my hard work and dedication to the team. I am now a senior leader and help my coach every Friday and Saturday to coach children from 4 years old up to about 10 years old. I now have the opportunity to enter the world championships in Dundee on the 13th of June 2018 which I am so excited about. I am proud of what I have achieved. I have made some best friends for life through my karate activities. I still have my friends by my side who I met 8 years ago at karate. Never lose hope and never give up on your dreams, ignore the bullies they are just jealous of what you are achieving in life. Don’t make them overcome who you are because its good to be different. I know from experience when it feels like the all the world is against you and you just want to give up but hold your head high achieve your dreams. By Mrs E.Tarjanyi Girls’ Rugby League Success Settle College students made the long journey to York St John’s University to play in the Girl’s Schools rugby on Thursday 11th January. With around 60 students representing the College it was excellent to see Settle College being the only school who represented in every age group from Yr7-11. The girls played extremely well in their games, showing great teamwork and commitment to their first rugby league fixture of the season. Results- Yr7- Beat York High School 6-0 Yr8- Beat Selby High School 3-0 Yr9- Beat Sherburn High School 3-1 Drew with Selby High School 3-3 Yr10- Beat Huntington 5-0 Yr11- Beat Selby High School 4-0 Commiserations to the Yr9 girls team who played extremely well but unfortunately did not qualify for the next round due to losing out to Selby High School on the number of tries scored after their tie. Congratulations to the Yr7,8,10 & 11 teams who have now all qualified for the next round of the Yorkshire Cup. Continued from previous page Girls’ Rugby League Success The next round dates will all be held at Shaw Cross RL Club in Dewsbury. Year 11 Girls – Thursday 8th Feb Year 10 Girls - Tuesday 27th Feb Year 8 Girls - Thursday 1st March Year 7 Girls - Friday 9th March Good luck girls and keep up the hard work! Mrs E. Tarjanyi Subject Leader Physical Education irl’s Rugby League Success By Harvey Stroh Cycle Racing Updates My first race of the season was Croft where I finished 17th overall and 1st Junior. Two weeks ago was the Clayton Velo Spring Classic and last weekend the 57th Eddie Soens Memorial Road Race (RR) where I finished 47th and 9th Junior then DNF at the Cull Cup and Duncan Sparrow RR after crashing out. All of the above are training races preparing me for nationals; however, as this article goes into publication, it is Bolton by Bolton RR where I’m aiming for a podium finish. By Nathan Jeffs School Leaders’ Lunch On Friday 9th March, Anna Booth and I accompanied Mr. Whitaker to the School Leaders' Lunch at the Red Lion Hotel in Burnsall. The School Leaders' Lunch is an annual event, sponsored this year by local business Principle Healthcare, which brings together secondary schools across our constituency for an opportunity to meet and converse with our local MP, Julian Smith. Mr. Smith is also Chief Whip and explained that it is his responsibility to ensure that votes pass in the House of Commons; this is a task which is more important than ever considering that the Government does not currently command a majority.

    Report on the Second York Schools Science Quiz on Thursday 12 March, Thirteen Schools from in and Around York Came Together

    Report on the Second York Schools Science Quiz On Thursday 12 March, thirteen schools from in and around York came together for the second York Schools Science Quiz. Twenty two school teams competed along with four teacher teams (put together from the teachers who brought the pupils along from the various schools) for the trophies and prizes. Each team consisted of two Lower Sixth and two Fifth Form pupils or four Fifth Form pupils for those schools without Sixth Forms. The schools represented were Manor CE School, Canon Lee School, The Joseph Rowntree School, Huntington School, Archbishop Holgate’s School, Fulford School, All Saints School, Millthorpe School, St Peter’s School, Bootham School, The Mount School, Selby High School and Scarborough College. The event took place as part of the York ISSP and also the York Schools Ogden Partnership, with a large thank you to the Royal Society of Chemistry and the Institute of Physics for some of the prizes, the Rotary Club of York Vikings for the water bottles and the Ogden Trust for the 8 GB memory sticks and Amazon Voucher prizes. The quiz was put together and presented by Sarah McKie, who is the Head of Biology at St Peter’s School, and consisted of Biology, Chemistry and Physics rounds alongside an Observation Challenge and a Hitting the Headlines round amongst others. At the end of the quiz the teams waited with bated breath for the results to be announced. It turned out that three teams were tied for second place, so a tie breaker was needed to separate them.
