Good News from Duke’s – 6th December 2024

Jack Petchey Speak Out Challenge 

Our Jack Petchey Speak Out challenge finalists presented their final speeches in assemblies this week to a packed house of peers. Mariam, Alexandra, Ezra and Roj were all excellent. It’s a very hard thing to do to stand up in front of a peer group to speak. They are all deserving of our praise. The Winner will be announced next week and will go on to the Regional Final at Mulberry Woodside in February. Good luck and well done to all!

 

Stubbers Activity Centre 

Our year 11 PE groups took an action packed trip to Stubbers outdoor activity centre this week. Canoeing, climbing and archery were the order of the day with the students having an amazing time in the great outdoors. Mr Green and the rest of the PE department worked incredibly hard to make the trip a success. After a very early start the students really enjoyed themselves and learnt an awful lot!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Ex-Year 11 Certificate Evening

We were delighted to welcome back our ex-year 11 pupils this week to collect their GCSE certificates. It was wonderful to see some familiar faces now thriving in their post 16 environments and fantastic to hear from them all about what new and exciting endeavours they have been up to!
