The geography department and Y10 have had a fantastic week in Swanage as part of their GCSE fieldwork investigations. Highlights included a geography themed sand castle competition, measuring the sand dune characteristics, walking along the Jurassic coastline, interviewing members of the public about climate change, the arcade evening and lots and lots of ice cream! Bring on the final trip next week.

The mindset for success, effective exam preparation and balancing priorities were all topics for discussion as our Year 11 students took part in an incredibly valuable workshop with Michele Miller. A huge thank you to Michele for sharing her expertise with both our students and parents, helping our whole Year 11 community approach the year ahead with confidence.

A warm welcome back to all our students today and particularly to our new Year 7 students. They have been settling in well, finding their way around the school site, starting to set up their lockers, becoming IT-ready with Google Classroom, familiarising themselves with their timetables and school systems, collecting their ipads and phone pouches, and most importantly, getting to know their tutors and fellow tutees with whom they will share this amazing 5 year journey.

Malaysia update. The team have successfully completed their turtle conservation projects and marine surveys, carrying out night patrols, collecting valuable survey data, and helping to protect future generations of turtles through egg collection efforts. We also took time to celebrate several team birthdays along the way, with three more celebrations still to come on the flight home!

Our students have been making the most of their downtime in Malaysia, enjoying a little friendly competition with games, exploring local shopping hotspots and sampling some delicious Malaysian delicacies. These moments of fun, friendship and discovery are all part of the experience. #makingmemories

Our students have been busy making a real difference. After learning from local NGOs about turtle conservation, they took part in turtle surveys and night patrols to collect data on nesting turtles. Team 1 got involved in a coral reef restoration project, while Team 2 helped protect the coastline through a beach clean-up. Along the way, students enjoyed incredible encounters with marine life, swimming alongside turtles, clownfish, small reef sharks and stingrays.

Borneo expedition update. After an exciting rafting adventure, our students flew to Kuala Lumpur. Team 3 managed to save some of their budget and celebrated with dinner by the iconic Petronas Twin Towers. All three teams have now travelled to their turtle conservation project locations, where night patrols are beginning!
