NEW CLUB: TRAVEL AGENCY CLUB

Students are invited to join our new 'Travel Agency' club, which starts from next week. It will run on Wednesdays after school in M13.

Travel agencies are businesses that involve and connect lots of subjects together.

Geography, History, MFL, English, Maths, IT skills and Business are directly interconnecting to run such a business.

Teams of students will be allocated specific roles;

  • Team responsible for transport (airlines, boat, trains etc)
  • Team responsible for organised activities (historical visits, museums, sports, spas, etc)
  • Team responsible of preparing the travel holidays packages
  • Team responsible for the financial part of the sales (costing and setting of selling prices)
  • Team responsible for organising the sales (marketing, communication etc)

Students will take part in;

  1. Preparation of the travel packages including study of various destinations: History of the place, accessibility, accommodation, the activities to do, the visits etc.
  2. Costing of the travel packages and define selling prices.
  3. Marketing and preparation of leaflets, social media, and questionnaires to find which packages will be the most popular.

The Medical Room is open from 09.00 – 15.00 for students who have become unwell or sustained an injury during the school day. Students with non-urgent problems should come at break / lunch time.

Paracetamol is only routinely given from 10.45 - 13.45, and only if we have your consent to do so.

The procedure for students is to come to the medical room to be assessed by the Medical Welfare Officer (MWO). If, after assessment, we feel that your child needs to go home, we will contact you. The MWO will then inform pastoral staff and sign the student out.

For safeguarding reasons, students are not to contact parents directly to arrange collection. Please ensure that you and your child(ren) are aware of this.

Please contact the Medical Welfare Team if you have any questions or concerns.

News from student futures

Is there a Doctor in the house? Attention Years 8, 9, 10 and 11

BrightMed identifies and supports young people from across Sussex who have the potential to become tomorrow’s doctors.
The programme will increase awareness of what it takes to study medicine and healthcare subjects, through fun, inspiring and interactive teaching focused on medicine, health and science.
BrightMed works with students from Year 9 to Year 13. As a ‘BrightMedder’, young people will take part in regular Saturday sessions that involve knowledge sessions, activity days, lectures and seminars. There is also an opportunity to experience life as a student with a stay at the University of Sussex campus during a four-day residential summer school at the end of Year 12.
Every year BrightMed aims to recruit 80 Year 8 students, who will start the programme at the beginning of Year 9. Often we also have spaces in other years and so would encourage applications from those currently in Year 8, 9, 10 or 11.

Your child just finished history in Year 11?

If your child has done GCSE history and does not intend to keep any of the revision guides that you may have purchased, we would be very grateful if they could be brought in and given to one of the history teachers (even if they have been highlighted or annotated).  These will be put to good use supporting students in years to come, and helps us in being more sustainable.
Mr Murray, Curriculum Leader History

The STEM club's challenge this week was to measure a science lab and the quad to see how they could fit a solar system inside, but keeping everything to scale!
