To mark the end of the Autumn Term, Parkside students celebrated their achievements and attainments. Staff prepared citations to share the many successes from the term, and students were presented with certificates and awards to celebrate these successes. Staff were extremely proud of the hard work and dedication from the students, and students also showed their gratitude to staff for their help and support by presenting them with a thank you note and a small gift! A truly wonderful event which was enjoyed by staff and students alike.
On Thursday 9th December, Phoebe Georgeston and Brianna Cyrus from Black Training and Enterprise Group (BTEG), came in to deliver the second session on Empowerment to the female students in Year 10. During the presentation, students discussed their goals and aspirations for the future. They watched an inspiring video about people achieving their goals and overcoming any obstacles they may have faced whilst doing this before completing a questionnaire to help them identify their own goals.
As part of the main activity, the students were tasked to make their vision more tangible and were required to create their own vision boards to represent their goals and to motivate them on their journey. This promoted motivation, confidence and optimism through a collection of affirmations and images which was then presented to the rest of the group.
On Friday 19th November, the Army Engagement Team visited Parkside to engulf students in a Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) challenge to culminate the Mathematics Week celebrations for 2021!
They donned their uniforms and brought with them, MTA kits which entailed more than 100 pieces of bolts, clips, wheels, rubber bands, poles and reinforcing strips which were to be used for the building of a self-propelled car.
Students worked together in teams and brainstormed ideas about how they could use their Engineering, Mathematical and Scientific skills whilst looking at different ways in which they could assemble the cars in order for them to move. At the end of the session, the students took their vehicles out into the College car park to put their designs to the test! All students commented on how interactive and enjoyable the session was.
On Monday 22nd November, The Rosedale Hewens Academy Trust hosted its annual Post 16 Open Evening. During the evening, Parkside showcased the courses available to current Year 11 students across the borough who may want to continue their Post 16 education with The Trust.
Students had the opportunity to speak to subject teachers and find out more about the BTEC courses on offer such as Sport, Media, Health and Social Care and Business as well as the requirements for the courses. Student helpers from the current Post 16 cohort worked diligently throughout the evening, guiding families and offering sage advice to prospective students exploring the available subjects essential for career progression, whilst showcasing all the fantastic opportunities available at Post 16.
