On Friday the 10th of March, 12HM attempted to create a Mile of Coins on the tennis court. Preparation for this event lasted whole week, starting on the Monday, when everyone gathered together to make a plan and volunteers each received a task that they had to complete. After students had measured the tennis court and diameter of the biggest coin (2 pence) they  calculated that, in total, there were 64,000 coins needed in order to complete the  given challenge.  

On the Tuesday the collection began and the coins started to roll in. Students walked around the academy with their buckets, collecting coins from both students and staff.

On the last day of the collection, 12HM gave one last push and walked around the academy collecting any additional change that they could get.

Friday morning arrived and it was time to walk out and lay all the coins down on the tennis court. Music played as the challenge continued.  Whilst the mile length was not quite reached, students were happy to see that they had raised a total of £80.46 towards our Lenten charities.  Students were very happy to have raised money that would help others.

Well done to everyone involved. Another challenge success. 

Last week St Edmund’s Catholic Academy and S. Peter’s Collegiate School presented a wonderful production of We Will Rock You.  The students from both schools worked so hard and did phenomenally well performing to four sell-out audiences (even managing to stay awake in their lessons during the day!!)  Staff, students , parents and guests from each of the schools were able to experience a wonderful evening. Special thanks to all members of staff and students at both schools who were involved working front of house or backstage to make this a great success.

On Tuesday 7th March the Library Assistants had the opportunity to meet British children’s author Katherine Woodfine, known for The Sinclair’s Mysteries, at Wolverhampton Grammar School.

Students were given the opportunity to purchase a book, signed by Katherine, and to find out what inspired her to write her book The Mystery of the Clockwork Sparrow and hear more about the characters within and Sinclair’s Department Store.

Students also took part in a workshop where the children had to solve the mystery of the stolen painting.

Rajbir Singh in 8KB said, “I would give this trip 10/10. The trip taught me about where authors get their inspiration to write their stories. This was an opportunity to meet the talented Katherine Woodfine. This trip has also got me interested in reading mystery novels. I thought the best part was when we got to solve the Mystery of the Missing Masterpiece.

Bethany Bloomfield in 8JI said, “I loved the trip and had a fantastic afternoon. We solved a mystery and got some interesting answers to our questions. The best day ever we should go again next year.

Katherine Woodfine can be seen pictured here with Sherroze Din, Emily Round, Sylwia Lagowska, Bethany Bloomfield, Haniya Deen, Molly Kerin, Paige Gostick, Stacey Pearce, Rajbir Singh, Evelyn Thorpe,  Neeta Mahey and Alexia Taylor.

On Tuesday 7th March, 12BC organised a charity Tug of War, between sixth formers and staff, to raise money for our Lenten charities.

First up was the sixth former boys’ vs the male staff, after a tense round, the male staff won. 

Next up were the girls, and the female staff won, leaving the staff to compete against each other. However, a last minute change was made and EVERYONE took part, all the girls vs all the boys, and the girls won.

It was a great event that raised just over £51 for charity, with the great atmosphere, everyone had a great time listening to the music and watching the tug of war take place.

Thanks to all that took part.
