Hitchin Girls’ School consumed. Our students also used their art and craft skills to entice buyers with a range of jewellery and hand and face embellishments. Customer service was taken to new heights as staff were encouraged to try new experiences. So far, we have raised just over £1,500, which will be added to the profit made during Enterprise month last year. All the monies raised will be used to purchase sports equipment for use in the new sports hall. The activities provide pupils with many new experiences which would not be possible without the support of parents, carers and sponsors. We extend our thanks to all who supported the day. Mrs. J. Molloy, Head of Business Studies DRAMA INTERNATIONAL STUDENT DRAMA FESTIVAL Mr. Balfe, Head of Drama, represented Hitchin Girls’ at the International Student Drama Festival (ISDF) in Sheffield in June. Mr. Balfe has been attending the National Student Drama Festival (NSDF) as a student and teacher since 1981 and has taken groups from Hitchin Girls’ and Hitchin Boys’ Schools in the past. The ISDF was a special one-off version of the NSDF designed to celebrate the 2012 Olympic Cultural Festival. In the four days he attended Mr. Balfe saw ten plays in six different theatres, including the entries from Japan and Germany. He also saw a film presented by a theatrical practitioner from Gaza showing children’s monologues. As well as the plays there were various discussions, special events, workshops and talks. Mr. Balfe is hoping to organise a visit by Sixth Formers to Scarborough, home of the NSDF, for the 2013 Festival which runs from 23 to 29 March. It is even a possibility that we might enter a play to be auditioned for the Festival – further details will be available next term. THE DUKE OF EDINBURGH’S AWARD A number of Year 11, 12 and 13 students attended a presentation evening recently to collect their Duke of Edinburgh’s Awards. The evening was hosted by Hitchin Girls’ School and the awards were presented by ex-pupil and now successful Author and Comedienne, Emma Kennedy. Congratulations to all those who achieved their Bronze and Silver awards. HISTORY In February Ayo-Oluwa Awokoya (Year 12) and Tara Anderson (Year 13) took part in The Holocaust Education Trust’s Understanding the Holocaust Programme. This involved visiting the Polish WW2 Camp and communicating their experience and understanding to the wider school community upon their return. POLAND TRIP AUSCHWITZ As part of The Holocaust Education Trust programme I took the opportunity to visit the Polish Death Camp Auschwitz with Tara Anderson (Year 13). The main aim of the trip was to gain a better understanding of The Holocaust and the enormous impact it had on the Jewish population within Europe. What I learnt on that trip was invaluable, allowing me to experience some of the obstacles the Jews had to face and though I could never truly grasp the hardships faced during The Holocaust the perceptions I entered with changed completely. Going on that trip was a worthwhile experience that I would encourage others to participate in. By Ayo-Oluwa Awokoya. -15-
