Dates for your Diary: 2nd April End of Term 4 21st April Start of Term 5 23rd April Year 7 Parents’ Evening
Computing Department On Thursday the 5th March, 30 lucky Year 8 students were picked to spend the day with Miss Nakimbugwe to produce a 2 minute long video exploring a social problem within the school. They would then have to explain how technology would combat that problem in order to make the school a better place. The producer of the best video will win a Dell tablet. Currently, the results have not been released but Mrs Randhawa will let the winner know in assembly soon! Thank you to all those that took part. You all did extremely well! On Friday 6th March, year 10 and 11 construction students were rewarded for their efforts in class with a trip to the top of the prestigious Chatham Place high rise building. The contractor Galliford –Try have already sold the building to a Saudi Arabian company called MUSE . The students met Project Managers , Civil Engineers & Graduate Site managers. They were taken to the top of the building to see the views across Reading and had a talk on how the building is constructed.
At the end of the tour the students were given a pen and a memory stick as a memento of their visit.
