Year 11 Celebrate with Brunch

GCSEs are well underway and Heads of House decided it was time to give their hard working students a treat – ‘Brunch’. With help from the catering staff the midmorning feast was enjoyed by Year Eleven and their teachers.

Croissants, choc au pain, muffins, bagels, and fresh fruit were seized upon. Hard work certainly makes you hungry! The consensus was that GCSE brunch should be added to our other Hill House traditions.

Onatti Theatre Company Dazzle Senior Pupils

On Monday 6th June the Onatti Theatre Company performed their French Comedy Play, Le Paquet Mysterieux for Years 8 to 10. The two French actors engaged and entertained the audience with their hilarious antics. Joining them on stage for short periods were Sigourney Hove, Jack Parkinson and Charlotte Roberts who all participated brilliantly. The audience learned lots of new vocabulary and thoroughly enjoyed the show.

Year 7 'Soldier On' in History

Year 7 recently visited the Royal Armouries in Leeds as part of their History topic. The focus of the day was to look at armour and weaponry used in medieval Britain.

The pupils (and staff!) were able to handle and try on replica objects to compare the rich to the poor and the knight to the foot soldier. The pupils also had the opportunity to explore the museum itself as well as watching three short plays that were performed during the day. The first of which was a stirring re-enactment of the Christmas Truce in 1914 which the pupils listened to transfixed.

Captain James Frost Inspires Our Year 11 Pupils

On Monday 8th November Captain James Frost, from the 2nd Battalion Yorkshire Regiment (Green Howards), came into school to speak to our Year 11 pupils. The focus of his talk was about aspirations and goals in life achieved through his time in the Army.

Captain Frost was sponsored by the Army to study Politics at Leeds Met University. He then went straight to Sandhurst, the Royal Military Academy in Surrey where all Officers in the British Army are trained to take on the responsibilities of leading soldiers.

After graduating from Sandhurst Captain Frost has served in Afghanistan, Malawi and the Falklands.

His time with us was both interesting and inspirational.

Year 11 Learning From History

"He who does not learn from history is doomed to repeat it."

The Centre uses the history of genocide as a model of how society can break down, and emphasises how current and future generations must carefully examine and learn from these tragedies. The Centre promotes respect for human rights, equal opportunities and good citizenship, which has greater resonance than ever in our culturally diverse society.

The Holocaust Centre provides a range of facilities for people of all backgrounds to explore the history and implications of the Holocaust. These include the Holocaust exhibition, The Journey, memorial gardens, bookshop and coffeeshop. There are also seminar and research facilities for students, teachers, scholars, professionals and many others.

Year 8 at Club Corezze, France

The pupils of Year 8 spent a week in France at Club Corezze, taking part in various outdoor pursuits. Their map reading was tested when they went Orienteering, they donned their wet-suits for Sailing and Gorge Walking and they got very muddy in the River Ramble. The Centre in the small picturesque market town of Meymac housed our Year 8 pupils for the week. It is always a pleasure to report that the behaviour of the Hill House pupils was exemplary and they all enjoyed taking part in the activities.

This amazing week of fun-filled activities ended with a disco and many happy faces.
