On the last week of the term all year groups attended their end of term Achievement Assemblies. The assemblies celebrated the achievements of all students who had demonstrated fantastic progress through their behaviour, attendance and Alliance points. We would like to congratulate all high achievers and hope that they continue to strive for the same. excellence next term.
Hewens College held its Year 8 Options Evening on Tuesday 27th February. It was a hugely successful evening with the college packed with eager students and their parents, guardians and carers. The day started with the students engaged in classbased activities, workshops with professionals and an assembly from a careers advisor. This was followed in the evening, with parents, guardians and carers being given important information and guidance from subject teachers who were on hand to promote their subject and Mrs Littlefair giving a keynote speech about the process.
We welcomed the DSM Foundation into Hewens College to deliver a powerful play. I Love You, Mum - I Promise I Won’t Die is a verbatim play told through the words of Daniel Spargo-Mabbs’ family and friends. This play demonstrates what happened with 16-year-old Daniel, who died after taking MDMA on a night out with friends. The title refers to Dan’s last words to his mother before he left the house and are both haunting and poignant.
