have developed a strong bond. This has made my role very enjoyable due to the fact that we have a great<br />

team working together. The new ideas brought to the committee have been valued and taken on board<br />

which has given us a great sense of achievement and ultimately we are privileged to represent both our<br />

year group and sports. Our core aims are :<br />

• To encourage more Sixth Formers to take an active<br />

part in extra-curricular sports.<br />

• To broaden the offer of extra-curricular sports for<br />

the sixth form.<br />

• To run more sports events for younger students.<br />

As a sports committee, we encouraged more year 12<br />

students to participate in sport by setting up a sixth form<br />

rounders club, basketball club and netball club.<br />

Development of Leaders<br />

My role as the sports committee leader has been important to me as it has<br />

enabled me to develop transferable skills in leadership, time - management,<br />

team work and communication. For example, talking to the year group and<br />

listening to their views and ideas on expanding sports has enabled us as a<br />

committee to put these ideas forward and so be the students’ voice. These<br />

skills I have acquired will be very helpful for me at University as well as<br />

everyday life when working with different people from all backgrounds”.<br />

Charities<br />

The Charities committee was led in earnest by Serena<br />

Lola who has been passionate about reinvigorating<br />

the sixth formers’ engagement with charities and also<br />

working with Key Stage 3 and 4 students. This has been<br />

one of the most successful committees this year with the<br />

Vicarage Farm Care Home partnership and the Charities<br />

fund raising event in July. The new academic year will<br />

see Sukhjinder Padda, Deputy Head Boy, take the reins.<br />

Charities Fund Raising Afternoon<br />

On Friday 12th July <strong>2019</strong> students in year 12 organised a ‘Charities Afternoon.<br />

Each tutor group chose a charity to support and worked as a team to raise<br />

money through their own unique stalls. We had everything from virgin mojitos<br />

and cupcake sales to shoot the hoop, sponge the teacher<br />

and lucky dips. The samosa stall went down a storm and<br />

Ms Green’s tutor group ran out of sweets so quickly<br />

they did a quick deal with the canteen to sell chips and<br />

ended up raising the most amount of money in the year<br />

group. The event was a real success as we raised £635<br />

for charity in only 25 minutes, the atmosphere was<br />

amazing, the sun shone, the music played and everyone<br />

got into the spirit of the afternoon raising funds for very<br />

good causes at the same time.<br />
