In June a team of six year 9 students visited the NPL in Teddington to compete in the 2012 water rocket challenge . This was our first year and out of 35 schools we came a respectable 9th and claimed the prize for the best uniform.
On Friday 7 December, Oathall students in years 7 to 10 entertained residents at Balcombe Place Care Home with a set of Carols and Christmas songs. The elderly residents also took part and sang along with the students. Students were rewarded with a Christmas tea and an invite to return and sing at anytime.
Listen here to Oathall students singing ‘O Holy Night’
Oathall students can be also heard on BBC radio Sussex singing ‘O Holy Night’ on Tuesday 11 December at around 15:40. Mrs Mac Taggart submitted this recording of ‘O Holy Night’ to the BBC after they put out a request for schools and community choirs to submit recordings of Christmas music to be played every day in the run up to Christmas. Oathall was one of the schools to have been selected.

This year’s college production of Fiddler on the Roof has been a musical masterpiece. The cast of 50 or more actors, singers, dancers and musicians have performed the numerous roles with confidence, enthusiasm, energy and charm and each performance has been met with thunderous applause from the audience.

Year 11 students from our Level 2 Environmental and Land-Based Diploma Course took part in the planting of an American Tulip Tree (Liriodendron tulipifera) on Friday 23rd November 2012.
The planting at Muster Green was one of 60 trees planted throughout Britain to mark the Queen’s Jubilee and were donated by The Tree Council.
We hope that our students will work alongside Haywards Heath Tree Warden Alan Colgate in the future as they continue their studies.
Students at Oathall Community College have been treated to the first ever UK visit from prolific American ‘Manga’ artist, illustrator and author Mark Crilley. Mark’s visit was the result of a personal letter from Quinn Humphreys a student at the college who wrote asking if he would visit. Quinn, a fan of Mark’s work , sent such an impressive letter that Mark agreed to come to Oathall!
Mark, who is currently You Tube’s most subscribed artist, started producing his distinctive style in the early nineties while in Japan teaching English. He wrote and illustrated a comic book story for young readers and watched it grow into a popular comic-book series called “Akiko” that has won him a host of young fans around the world.
Mark is in school working with students in year 9 on a combined English and Art curriculum immersion day.

Congratulations to Georgina Moors in year 8 who this month became FIG Challenge Espoir Gold Medal – Champion at the Sussex Gymnastic Championships.
Georgina went on to be selected to compete at the Bill Slater National Team Championships and will be competing this weekend at the Rushmoor Rose Bowl International Competition along with several other gymnasts who were selected to represent Sussex.
Year 9 students Josie Batchelor and Lily Bravo were selected from their year group to train as Youth Sport Trust Young Ambassadors and attend a conference led by Mid Sussex Active and the Youth Sports Trust. Josie and Lily will be part of a team of Young Ambassadors across the country that will work within their schools and local community to continue the London 2012 legacy and work towards increasing sporting participation and promoting its positive values.
Josie Batchelor and Lily Bravo meet GB Diver Pete Waterfield.
The girls were even fortunate enough to meet Great Britain Diver Pete Waterfield. I have every confidence that Josie and Lily will be superb Young Ambassadors and look forward to seeing their ideas put into practice.
