Students in 7DACN were keen to collect recycling at the Oathall Community Day which will go to a local charity, Recycling in Lancing. The many sweet and crisp wrappers will be given to them to be sent off for recycling. Sponsors then reward local charities for such donations.

Following applications and a rigorous interview process we are delighted to present the next additions to our prefect team. Here are the House Captains and Vice Captains who will represent Pioneer, Voyager, Endeavour and Discovery houses at all major school events and assemblies and will work closely with the Head of House to also develop charity events across the school.

Our lovely new year 7 students were treated to the book ‘You are Awesome’ by Matthew Syed to read over their holidays. It is a positive and empowering guide by best-selling mindset author Matthew Syed. It aims to help boys and girls build resilience, fulfil their potential and become successful, happy, awesome adults.

Year 11 prom photos are now available for collection from Reception during normal school hours or on GCSE results collection day.

Some of our year 8 and year 9 students took part in the infamous Rocket Challenge which is run by the DT department.  Activities included making paper aeroplanes, shooting paper mice as high as they could with milk bottles and then finally designing and making their rockets (from 2 litre plastic bottles) before launching them into the sky using water and air pressure.  A lot of fun and learning was had by all.  Well done to all the students!

The Summer Reading Bingo challenge is a great way to earn some early credits for you and your house during the summer holidays.

The English department has set the challenge which runs from 6 June until 30 September. Any of our students can join. Bingo sheets are available from the Library or the English department direct.

Self-esteem is your overall opinion of yourself — how you feel about your abilities and limitations?

Oathall Community Day 2022 is nearly here, and all our tutor groups are busily putting all the final preparations in place. Thank you to all who have helped to make this day a real success. We are really looking forward to seeing the culmination of everyone’s hard work.

Just a quick reminder that all students may wear appropriate non-uniform on Oathall Community Day (15 July). Donations of £2 can be made through Gateway.

This is a charity event and the money raised will go to the following charities:

Thank you again to everyone involved. We look forward to seeing how much money we can raise.

It’s induction day for our new year 7 students, and we are so pleased to welcome you to our school.
