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.
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.

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.
