News from Melbourn Village College It’s been a busy start to the Autumn term at the College. In addition to the dayto-day business of teaching and learning, the sheer number of activities available to our students continues to grow. Below, I have highlighted a selection of these opportunities - but it’s by no means a comprehensive list.
A Grand Challenge

TTP has been very generous in sponsoring an ‘Apprentice’-style challenge for teams of budding entrepreneurs from the College. The teams have been given £500 each in order to invest in a range of money-raising activities. The money raised will be donated to the Papworth Trust. I shall let readers know how the teams have fared in the next issue. Andrew Allsworth, Deputy Warden

The students in year 10 at Melbourn Village College are organising a charity fundraising event. It is in aid of Papworth Trust, a disability charity, which helps over 13,000 disabled people a year in the east of England in a number of different ways. The student’s fundraiser is part of ‘The Grand Challenge’ young enterprise. It is part of a competition, and the group that raises the most money wins. One event is a ‘Battle of the Bands’, and will be held at Melbourn Village College on Saturday 20th December 2009 at 7pm Entrance: £5 Tickets available from MVC Reception or call Daniella Davis on 01223 870670 or Maryska Grant on 01763 222512
