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

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

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

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

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