It was great see so many parents come to the year 9 Career’s and next steps to Adulthood and KS4 event. Thanks to George from the Lewisham Project for explain the role and the great offer the children will get in year 10 and to Subject Leaders for meeting all parents.
Year 9s attended The Lewisham Post-16 Opportunities Event which took place on Tuesday 28th March 2023 at the Civic Suite, Catford.
The aim of the event was to support schools and providers with their statutory duty to secure independent careers guidance for all year 9-13 learners.
The event ensured careers guidance is presented in an impartial manner and promotes information on the range of education or training options, including apprenticeships / traineeships and other vocational pathways.
Year 9 said "I found it interesting, it helped me making life choices, ...it helped me what I wanted to do with my life....it helped me understand what I was getting into"
To extend their learning in Judaism, JG participated in a workshop led by Mr Gerald Rose from the local Synagogue in Catford.
The focus of the session was to look at where Jews celebrate their faith and love for God. JG were excellent throughout the session and thought that the lecture was very informative.
We look forward to seeing Mr Rose again.
This year's NWS chess tournament proved to be a huge success! Our second ever annual tournament featured high-quality games across secondary. Many of our pupils are new to chess, and they developed both tactical skills and a love for the game. Well done to all who took part, we look forward to an even more skillful tournament next year.
A special congratulations to:
· Demari Fowler (Gold)
· Gabriel Trotter (Silver)
· Darran Cable (Bronze)
