The second to last week of term we had the DSP Enterprise Sale, many different stalls were set up down the central mall all trying to raise funds for the charity they were representing. Stalls included the Prom Comittee, Young Enterprise, different raffles and tombolas, jewellery and many more. It turned out to be very successful and all the stalls raised a lot of money.
In the last week of term I went with David, Andile and Morium in the Sixth Form to another meeting for our campaign on getting a bus shelter outside the school gates. We are gradually getting closer and managing to get businesses on our side to help us achieve this. Another meeting will be held on January 15th with the county councillors to discuss further progress.
On Tuesday on the last week of term, the music department held their annual Christmas Concert, which included solosists from Years 7, 10 and 13 that amazed friends and family. Also the Junior and Senior Concert band, the Choir, Woodwind Ensemble and String group all performed many brilliant pieces to the audience. It was a great night, and thank you to the Sixth Formers that helped throughout the evening.The Sixth Form Travel and Tourism group went on a trip to London, to visit all the popular attractions. The visited a variety of different places, including Winter Wonderland which then followed by a meal at Nando's where they met a special guest - Greg from District 3 off The X Factor!

On Thursday in the last week of term the Sixth Formers had a meeting about a peer mentoring scheme that is being held by the organisation CAN. A representative from CAN came in to talk to us about what it involves and the training process we will be going through. We briefly know that we will be mentoring young teenagers who have had problems with alcohol and drugs but are on the road to recovery and we will be there for support. More on this will be followed next term.
