Coding Giants have contacted Oathall offering an exciting opportunity to students interested in coding and cybersecurity. 

The “Code with Giants” event is a set of free computer coding workshops for children and teenagers 7 to 18 years old. Workshops begin on 25 March and the theme of the lesson will be Cybersecurity.

Coding Giants is an international organization providing children and teenagers 7 to 18 years old with coding courses in 14 countries around the world, including the UK.

“At our coding school, children choose their own development path according to their interests. For over 7 years, we have taught children and teenagers programming in 14 international markets including the UK. Children in the UK can take coding classes in English or Polish!

For the 11th time, we are organizing free programming workshops for children and teenagers under the auspices of Microsoft and EY.

The “Code with Giants” free coding workshops for children and teenagers are now accepting registrations. See our last edition >>

Assembly theme: International Transgender day of Visibility

20th March 2023Joanna Patch

Transgender Day of Visibility is an international event on March 31 dedicated to recognizing the resilience and accomplishments of the transgender community. On this day, we celebrate the trans people amongst us, raise awareness about the struggles that they face, and advocate for more protected rights for them in a bid to reform society and empower this community — as it so rightfully deserves. Let’s join hands together with the trans community to celebrate not ‘fitting in’ when we all yearn to stand out!

Student book reviews

13th March 2023Joanna Patch

Students: Read a good book recently? Why not write a review?

Either: 

  1. If you borrow books from the school library, simply go to your borrowing account on Accessit via ‘Other apps’ on the school website. Sign in by clicking the blue ‘ Use this button to login’ button. Just click on a book you have borrowed, and an option will appear to write a review.
  2. Alternatively, you can type a review (up to 250 words) on a Google Doc and share it with Mrs Perrin, who will submit your review to the Lindfield Life magazine – see your name in print (optional). 
  3. Or, you can pick up a Start Review form from the library and write a mini-review. 

Credits are awarded for each review submitted.
