  • Trip to Kew Garden

    Published 20/10/23

    On Thursday 12th and Monday 16th of October, Year 7 and Year 8 students visited Kew Gardens. Upon arrival, students made their way to Palm House which is a greenhouse, were temperatures go up to 35 degrees with intense humidity! Even on the day, when it was 13 degrees outside, it was almost unbearably hot inside of the Greenhouse. Students were able to identify the different types of plants, from coffee to cocoa to vanilla plants and other tropical palms, it felt like walking in a rainforest. From there, students made their way to the Temperate House which had exhibitions of flowers, citrus plants and a display promoting the Queer Ecology found in plants. The flowers and indoor artificial waterfall garden was absolutely beautiful.

    First Aid is an invaluable life skill. It helps children become more risk aware and equips them with skills to keep themselves safe. Our students in Year 7 took part in First Aid Training today. They learnt about what to do if someone needs medical attention so that they remain calm and confident. Year 7 enjoyed debating how they might support each other if faced with a situation that may require medical attention. It was wonderful to see and hear such insightful responses when discussing a range of case studies.

  • Home Cooking

    Published 07/07/23

    Year 9 learnt important home cooking skills on how to create a treat from basic ingredients. They confidently used common pantry ingredients to make a treat. This practical gave students an insight on what they can make at home rather than buying in and the financial benefits of using what they have at home.
