Carnival Week
A special assembly was held in February to mark a week of celebrating carnivals across the world. Miss Montiel described the importance of carnival in her native country, Venezuela, and the Year 10 girls demonstrated the importance of such festivals in France, Italy, Spain and Germany. During the week Year 7 girls enjoyed making colourful carnival masks and Year 8 had fun making pancakes.
Pupil Rewarded for Voluntary Work Year 11 pupil, Hannah Fitzpatrick was recently presented with a “V50” certificate at the charity run cafe within the Coventry & Warwickshire Hospital, marking 50 hours of voluntary work that she completed during the summer holidays. Hannah initially volunteered for the Women’s Royal Voluntary Service (WRVS) early last year, as part of her Duke of Edinburgh Bronze Award and was keen to carry on. By giving up her time during the summer holidays, Hannah managed to complete 50 hours and she is now aiming for her 100 hour certificate. Furthermore, Hannah has been invited by the WRVS to join a newly establish Youth Action Team and has become a Youth Volunteering Ambassador. She is the youngest member of this team and will help to assess ways that the WRVS can promote and attract youth volunteering.
