Marking the centre’s official opening, Councillor Perry said: “I am extremely impressed with the new facilities and hope that this will be a well-used and much valued building. The centre will offer regular activities and sports, as well as access to advice and support on a wide range of issues such as health, learning, training and employment. “It is an excellent example of local authorities coming together and working collaboratively to improve services and facilities for the benefit of Hampshire’s young people. I am very pleased that the County Council has been able to contribute to this investment for the benefit of young people. I also commend the Town Council and Ringwood’s local community for their vision and commitment to the scheme.” Hampshire County Council contributed £400,000 to the project from its ‘Investing in Hampshire Fund’, adding to a £70,000 contribution from New Forest District Council, £75,000 from Ringwood Town Council, and £5,000 from Ringwood School. Chris Edwards, Headteacher of Ringwood School, said: “I am really proud of the positive impact Ringwood School students have had in helping to make this building a reality. The project has been developed over a number of years with the active involvement of many generations of young people. I am very grateful to the Town Council for their support in enabling young people to have a voice in shaping the future of their town. This project is a shining example of what can be achieved when groups work together for the benefit of their community. I would also like to thank New Forest District Council and Hampshire County Council for their support.” Located next to the skate park on Carvers Playing Field, the purpose-built facility will provide a permanent base for youth-based activities and youth workers, as well as charities and voluntary organisations that provide advice and support services for young people.

As one of only 68 schools across the County invited, we were excited to be given the opportunity to take part in the IET Faraday Challenge day. Dr Abernethy, Science and Miss Costello, Computing & ICT teamed up to run the one day STEM activity day designed for Year 7 students, giving them the opportunity to research, design and make prototype solutions to genuinely tough engineering problems. This year event ties in with the BBC's Make It Digital campaign and was all about working with the BBC Microbit - a pocket-sized codeable computer with motion detection, a built-in compass and Bluetooth technology. We had four Ringwood teams of six and were joined by two teams from Godolphin School, Salisbury for a bit of friendly competition. The teams were tasked with creating a product using the Microbit (the actual task has to remain top secret) and they had fantastic fun working in teams to plan and develop their prototypes, not only developing their STEM skills but also their team working ability. Members of the team were responsible for different areas from marketing to finance - they even had to use their allocated ‘money’ to buy the resources they needed for their projects. As staff we soon realised we were going to struggle to compete with some of the ideas so hastily left it to the Year 7's! After a hectic morning of planning and making products, each team had to pitch to the panel of STEM experts. They were scored for their planning, financial records and ultimately the final product. The winning team from each event took home an Amazon voucher for themselves and an exclusive IET Faraday/ BBC micro:bit sports watch, as well as gaining a place on the league table. We are currently 8th on the country wide league table! We all had a fantastic day watching the Year 7 teams really find their feet within their roles, come up with some fantastic ideas and work together to pitch them to a panel of highly trained engineers. What an opportunity! And as ever our students rose to the occasion. A special thanks to Dr Abernethy for her organisational skills and giving up her classroom for the day. Article by student Abigail Scott on the winning team: On Tuesday 9th February, four teams from our school and 2 teams from Godolphin school in Salisbury took part in the Faraday challenge where we spent a whole day designing our own codes which we then programmed into the BBC Micro:bit.
