GREENHEAD COLLEGE CHARITY DAY:<br />
A day filled with a constant buzz of excitement: students arriving all day<br />
in their weird and wonderful costumes. Many put hours of effort into<br />
their homemade outfits, which looked superb. A Doctor Who Dalek was<br />
spotted rolling around college, a box of Frosties was accompanied by<br />
a carton of milk. Meanwhile, a group of Avatars and even a Facebook<br />
page was sighted on the college campus.<br />
Our main event was <strong>Greenhead</strong>’s Got Talent, where the most talented<br />
students had an opportunity to battle it out and become the ‘top<br />
dog!’ Our worthy winners were Zac Donlon and James Brooke,<br />
who thoroughly entertained the crowd with their<br />
rapping/singing mash up! As a special guest, last<br />
year’s winner Jasmine Kennedy sung her own<br />
song ‘Successfully Connected’, a spine tingling<br />
performance. By the use of an audience clap-ometer,<br />
the audience decided who they thought was<br />
the best dressed, along with an auction of a cuddly<br />
shark and a set by a college-based band called ‘Hot<br />
Against The Cold.’ To conclude the day, the Rugby<br />
boys showed us their best ‘cheeky moves’ – a yearly<br />
tradition which the whole college looks forward to -<br />
all in aid of charity!<br />

Raising a grand total of £3,700, the money will go<br />
to a couple of very worthwhile causes: NSPCC,<br />
a charity to end cruelty to children and Water Aid, providing water and sanitation for those in developing world<br />
countries.<br />
The day was an outstanding achievement. Abbie Parkin, Senior Student<br />

On September 23rd, the Law<br />
department treated 46 students to two<br />
days in London. On arrival in London,<br />
we caught the tube to the Old Bailey;<br />
we had to wait for the afternoon<br />

opening of the public gallery and so we<br />
spent a rainy lunchtime near St Paul’s<br />
Cathedral. Later, at the Old Bailey, the<br />
strict security checks meant we had to<br />
wait in a long queue before entering the<br />
public galleries to hear two fascinating<br />
cases: an attempted murder and a<br />

murder. Everyone found the experience<br />
of a live court case interesting and<br />
worthwhile.<br />
Lincoln’s Inn was the next place on<br />
our list, which is one of the four Inns of<br />
Court, where potential future barristers<br />
travel to in order to be ‘called to the<br />
bar.’ The tradition of having meals at<br />
these inns is a long standing one in the<br />
legal profession, and is considered a<br />
must before entering a career.<br />
When evening came, we were given<br />
time to have a meal with our friends,<br />
and squeeze in some retail therapy,<br />
before we met at the Lyceum Theatre<br />
near Covent Garden to watch the<br />
award winning production ‘The Lion<br />
King.’ Those attending stated the<br />
performance was a must see!<br />
Our trip to the Houses of Parliament<br />
the following day, and the visit as a<br />
whole, was interesting, eye-opening<br />
and extremely useful as far as our law<br />
course goes.<br />
