ROEDEAN ACADEMY

YEAR 10

Some of our Year 10 students (along with others in the city) have been invited to take part in the Roedean Academy. A five-week programme, heading off in the minibus after school for two hours of lectures and critical thinking The range of subjects that they can choose from has been both challenging and varied. So far, our students have been to Economics, Sign Language, Tales of Ovid, Life Drawing, Screen Printing, Chemistry and Maths.

It has been a great opportunity for our Year 10 students to meet their counterparts from lots of different schools across the city and to challenge themselves outside of their comfort zone Head of Year 10, Miss Poole, said, ‘I have been very proud of the contributions our students have made so far and the way have embraced the learning on offer’.

EXTRA-CURRICULAR

At lunchtime on Friday 3 March we held our annual Mastermind competition, following on from the students’ General Knowledge quiz last term. Our four contestants were Zac, Isla, Reuben and Kit and their specialist subjects were US Survivor, the Solar System, Dr Who, and European Capitals.

The contestants all performed incredibly well in both the General Knowledge round and in their specialist subjects, with Zac and Isla tying in first place!

We’d like to thank Mr Watson for running the event and Ms Chrisp for assisting with reading the questions. A big thank you as well to Mr Stephens and Mr Flint who helped with the question writing, and to all the students who turned out to support the event
