On Tuesday 11th June the Technology department opened their doors to parents, governors, staff and students for the Year 11 Textiles Exhibition. It was wonderful to celebrate the achievements made by the students these past two years. There were positive comments from all that came during and after the event.
One in particular read “I was greatly impressed by the standard of work, both the quality of the individual pieces and the range of techniques used. The students certainly have great opportunities for developing their own personal expression through textiles. I have been to foundation exhibitions at Hornsey School of Art and some of your students work would easily fit into their exhibition.”
Thank you to Mr Liversidge and NPCS students for preparing the canapes and fruit punch, Year 9 students Suzan, Gizem and Melisa for helping set up and Mr Grant and Mr Taylor for helping, especially hanging of larger pieces! Very tricky! A general thank you to the Technology department for all your support and to all that came.
A group of 17 year 10 Duke of Edinburgh students went on their ‘Practice Camping Expedition’ to Epping Forest 7th – 8th of June. Luckily, the weather was mild and clear as the students were required to hike for six hours each day carrying all of their equipment on their backs. This trip allowed the students to practice their orienteering skills, develop their camp craft and experience a lot of firsts, like sleeping in tents away from their families and cooking their own food outdoors.
