Rajvinder and Shafinaz were able to get hands-on experience and have some fun too workiing well in a team with pupils and students from Y Pant Comprehensive.

Yr4 Activity Day

Last Friday a group of year four children from eight of our feeder primary schools attended an Adventurous Activity Day hosted by the Fitzalan PE Department. The children took part in a number of activities which included; team building, orienteering, dodge ball and rock climbing! The pupils all had the opportunity to use our state of the art climbing wall. All of the pupils enjoyed taking part in the wide range of adventurous activities. A fun day was had by staff and pupils alike, we look forward to the Primary schools visiting again soon.

Operation Christmas Child – Shoe Box Appeal

Fitzalan High School took part in Operation Christmas Child again this year with the Samaritans Purse Charity. Operation Christmas Child involves filling a shoe box with gifts such as small toys, sweets and toiletries. The shoe box is then wrapped and sent to children in disadvantaged situations in Africa, Eastern Europe and Central Asia.

Year 7 and 8 pupils made up shoe boxes in form classes but we also had them donated by other classes and staff from across the school. We have managed to send almost 100!

Thank you and well done to everyone that donated items and for all the help in getting them ready to be sent.
