Girls Football News Last week saw the U13 girl footballers playing their last two league matches against Carisbrooke and CTK. Against Carisbrooke, our girls were constantly on the attack with the majority of play in their opponents half. In fact they did everything right except score that illusive goal, with several attempts hitting the woodwork or being saved off the line. Playing CTK was a different matter, with 2 goals conceded in the first half - despite some brave goalkeeping by Zoe. The second half was far more even with attempts on goal at both ends yet, despite some great attacking work from the Cowes girls, it was CTK who sneaked in another goal just before the final whistle. Good game, though, with next year's U13 team really starting to take shape!

Disneyland and Paris Trip: 24th – 27th January 2016 We are pleased to provide the details of our forthcoming educational trip to Disneyland and Paris. The proposed dates for this trip are Sunday 24th – Wednesday 27th January 2016. This trip is open to all current year ten students (these students will be in Year 11 at the time of the trip) and sixth form Business students. We have worked hard to ensure that this trip is as cost efficient as possible. The cost will be £280 in total, which includes all travel, hotel accommodation, transfers, insurance and breakfast. Please note that our accommodation is bed and breakfast, therefore, money for food will be required on the trip, which will be approximately £30. A deposit of £50 is required to secure a place on this trip. This must be submitted by Friday 20th March 2015. The remaining balance of £230 must be paid by Friday 26th June 2015. You can pay by instalments for this trip. Money can be given towards the balance of this trip to the finance office at break time anytime between now and the final payment date of Friday 26 th June. If you need a longer payment plan then please get in touch with me on 01983 203156 or by email on [email protected]. The trip will involve Business and Maths seminars, a day trip to Paris and time in Disneyland Paris. Outcomes of this trip are to support students with their level two business course and GCSE in maths. The seminars and workbooks are tailored to our student’s needs. Students will need their own passport and an EHIC card for this trip. We can sign student photos at college for this. EHIC cards are available free of charge from the following website https://www.gov.uk/european-health-insurance-card Please note: deposits are non-refundable once a booking has been made with the travel company. If a student is unable to take part in the trip after further monies have been paid, the school will endeavour to recoup costs on the student’s behalf. Please note that in the majority of cases this is not possible, owing to group booking terms and conditions and cancellation fees. Message from Mrs Kelly The College library is, at lunch and break times, a technology free zone. This has given rise to a huge surge in the playing of traditional board and card games. (along with a noticeable improvement in social interaction) If anyone has games they no longer need, Mrs Kelly would be very grateful for them. The most popular game at the moment is ‘Squares’ (where coloured plastic squares have to be moved in sequence to a certain position) Children have started to reserve this game for future break times, so if anyone has, and no longer wants, the game – we would be eternally grateful! Also in huge demand are: Uno, chess, draughts, cluedo, monopoly and playing cards. Thank you for any donations you can spare Business Studies Information Business coursework catch up for years 10 and 11 are Wednesdays 2.45– 5pm in ED12 and Thursdays 2.45-5pm in ED12.
