ACTIVITIES GALORE ON ENTERPRISE DAYS

On Tuesday 27 November, 38 Collingwood students descended on Lightwater Country Park for the annual District X-Country event. As always with this event the weather had not been kind and some rather blustery conditions were in store for our runners. First up was the Year 7 girls’ event and we had high hopes for this team after their fabulous success at the English Schools event. The girls certainly didn’t disappoint with a great all round team display. Notable performances came from Lauren Taylor 7K (2nd place) and Izzy James 7F (3rd place). Once all the results had been totalled we were delighted to see our girls had won the overall event and become District champions. Onto the Year 7 boys event and in a strong competition our boys did extremely well in their first competitive event. All runners ran well in very tough conditions.

It was Enterprise Days with a change this November, with the events taking place on Friday/Monday rather than Thursday/Friday. Also, there were relatively few trips offsite apart from all Year 8s going to Neasden Temple, all Year 7s en masse to Harry Potter World and Year 12s making an important exploratory visit to Portsmouth University. So the hub of Enterprise Days was at College, and the College was an extremely lively place! The Year 7 Young Citizen activity saw a range of events – from a compelling drama by a visiting theatre group, and discussion, to workshops on Fire, Police and First Aid services, it was a real contribution to our Wellbeing programme.

Year 8, when not at Neasden, enjoyed the many facets of Forensic Science, while Year 9s over two days had a tremendous variety of experiences from the CAPA and Technology faculties: making cupcakes, designing clothes from newspaper, taking the ‘eggdrop’ challenge, samba dancing, creating headdresses, samba drumming, electronic rhythms and Media experiences. Year 10s had an equally exciting couple of days: in Maths it was Coding, exploring Morse, Semaphore, Pigpen, crosswords, and finally a College Treasure Hunt. From the TVIBE Faculty, a group brought in a huge range of active, practical puzzles to challenge students’ Problem Solving capabilities. With Year 13 completing a Wellbeing Day, mirroring several years on some of the thought processes of the Year 7 activity, Year 11 taking their Mock GCSE exams, there certainly was a packed programme. With many thanks to activity organisers and all supporting staff, this was a particularly challenging, thought-provoking, active and fun set of experiences for Collingwood students. There were indeed a lot of smiles during this out-of-classroom learning.

Maddie Clifford (8D) (2nd place) for the Year 8 girls once again stole the show for us with a great display of running. Ellie Coldicott 8A also ran extremely well in her first appearance for the College. Year 8 boys, just like the Year 7 boys, did extremely well in tough conditions. All the boys gave 100% throughout the race and did themselves and the College proud.

In the Year 9 girls’ race Lucy Duckworth 9G (6th place) and Lara Pearson 9A (9th place) led the way for the girls which resulted in them picking up 3rd place overall for the team event, a wonderful achievement by them. We only had one runner for the Year 9 boys but Luke Stanton 9E ran incredibly well to come home in 3rd place in a very high standard of race. Onto the final two events and Year 10/11 girls were the penultimate race, Jules Rabey 10E and Maya James 10G

both ran excellent races against some very strong opposition. The final race was Year 10/11 boys, Max Duckworth 10E ran an exceptional race to come home in 3rd place and the other boys supported him well gaining some well-deserved high finishes. All our competitors did the College proud in some very cold and wet conditions, but I believe that’s what X-Country is all about! Teams as follows: Year 7 Girls: Mila Cass, Autumn Hedley, Zara Hogston, Izzy James, Lotty Rabey, Lauren Taylor Year 7 Boys: Cameron Clark, Harry Dalton, Ryan De Ruijter, Rhys Evans, Seb McBride, Daniel Prince, Jake Webb Year 8 Girls: Maddie Clifford, Ellie Coldicott, Holly Mannion, Lola Yates Year 8 Boys: Charlie Comer, Charlie Hill, Dylan Hobbs, Jack Sawyer, James Stuart Year 9 Girls: Charlotte Devlin, Lucy Duckworth, Poppy Llufrio-Arnold, Lara Pearson, Neve San Emeterio Year 9 Boys: Luke Stanton Years 10/11 Girls: Emily Dillamore, Maya James, Jules Rabey Years 10/11 Boys: Isaac Becket, Jacob Cowler, Max Duckworth, Kai Hobbs, Callum Long, Toby Mann, James White
