From Mr Ball: Head of Secondary Hello Parents, Magnificent, Awesome, Dynamic, Nectarous, Imaginative, Great, Harmonious, Terrific. If you were unable to attend the MAD night on March 27 then these were my thoughts on the students, their performances, and the staff that have invested so much time into these students. Though I think I have invented a new word with ‘nectarous’; still if inventing words was good enough for Shakespeare then who I am I not to mimic him. The End of Term 2 Grade Card will be emailed to parents of students in Year 7 to IB2 on Friday. I hope that you are pleased with the grades that you children have achieved. Mr Armstrong is organising ‘History Day’; which will happen early next term on Friday May 2. A lot of thought has been put into this collapsed day for Years 7 to 9 and it promises to be interesting, educational, and fun. Mr Armstrong is trying to round up as many 1.25 litre Coke bottles (empty of course) for a ballistics activity that he has planned. Apparently they must be Coke bottles and 1.25 litres. If you have any empty Coke bottles then I am sure Mr Armstrong would be very happy to receive them. The Year 11 and IB2 students should now be in the full pattern of revision as their IGCSE and IB exams begin early next term. Mr Stokes will explain study leave to the Year 11 students and they will be bringing a letter home for you to consider whether you would prefer your child to take their study leave at home or to come into school to study.

GIS has purchased its first ever 3D printer. The revolutionary printer is one of a new batch that allows images to be created and then printed in 3D. Design and Technology teachers Mr Stokes and Mr Gordon were among the first to try out the new printer, watched by several IB students. This kind of printer is set to change the world of printing – and also adds a whole new dimension (literally) to Design and Technology lessons. The technology for 3D printing has been around for some years but the price of the machines and software has limited their use outside the industrial sphere. However, due to open source software becoming available and the cost of the machines coming down they are now much more accessible. They work on the same theory as a normal printer. However they use plastic, rather than ink, which is melted and simply squeezed out of a nozzle layer by layer to create a 3D object. The object can be designed on a computer using a range of 3D modelling programmes. The design is then split into layers using a software programme and then sent to the 3D printer for making. This technology is set to revolutionise the way we manufacture products.
