St. Boniface's Catholic College Blog for wb 30.9.13

 

Dear Parents and friends,

Please find below my latest Blog about our College community. I trust that you have all now had your red termly diary booklets if not please ask your son to get your copy from his tutor – failing this of course please contact his tutor directly. The first of two planned Year 11 Parent/Teacher evenings being due after the mock exams on Tuesday 10^th December with the whole school mentoring day on Friday 22^nd November. There is a return to Parent/Teacher evenings for all years after the strong messages I received at the Ofsted feedback evenings, these will be in addition to the mentoring days.

Bishop Christopher popped into College today, Friday, and had a tour and a cup of coffee with me. He spoke with several of the pupils and staff as we walked the College and it was a real shot in the arm to see him again in St. Boniface’s. My great thanks to him for making time – the staff and students are all very appreciative. In the same note, Father John has been highly visible in the College and I have been particularly grateful to him for his time for students, staff and myself. It is a real blessing when our faith can unite us in such a manner.

I regret to inform you that as things stand at the moment, I will need to close the College for all pupils on October 17th due to industrial action by two of the teaching unions, NUT and NASUWT. On the grounds of health and safety I will be unable to ensure that there will be enough staff on site – legislation preventing me from filling in any gaps! I have been trying to see if there were any way that we could arrange for externally examined years groups to come in but, at this stage it is looking very doubtful. Some schools in the City may have very few teachers who belong to either of these unions and may be able to remain partly open – I am afraid that each school will be different but I did want to let you know as soon as possible so that you can make suitable arrangements. I am sorry but these matters are beyond our control, the industrial action is due across the whole of the South West of England.

On a far sunnier note we had one of our 150^th Birthday celebrations this week with an aerial photograph of all the students and staff on the school field. The pupils were excellent and I was very proud of them all. A more formal whole school photograph is planned for Thursday 10^th October.

Our Parent texting service will be up and running from next week with letters being sent home, via the post, to all parents asking for them to register for this free to parent’s facility. Please take a little time to register as we believe the service will make a significant difference to communications between parents and the College.

 A reminder that Friday 4^th is CAFOD fast day.

Year 7

Year 7 have had yet another very busy week at St Boniface’s! We have had many successes academically, with already, over 170 entries by teachers onto SIMS, for students gaining academic merits for outstanding work! I am absolutely thrilled with this and it is down to the hard work of our year group, so well done lads! It was also lovely to present the prefects, nominated by their tutor group, with the prefect ties and pin badges in assembly. The boys all look extremely smart. To add to these academic successes, we have also had a fantastic turn out to the Year 7 Rugby afterschool club, run by Mr Tucker. Over 40 students attended and Mr Tucker was kindly offered assistance by some of the older students. It was lovely to see all of our students working so well together regardless of their differing years.

Home learning is now a firm part of the student’s timetable, with a range of weekly and monthly projects in place. Please could I ask all parents that you ensure that students are completing all home learning and that you are signing the planners weekly. Please remember if your son is struggling to adapt to this more structured homework system, we have a number of homework clubs available for him to attend, both in the Library or the Learning for Life Centre every day after school.

This week’s assembly was presented by Mrs Polson and 7B. The assembly was on the theme of “Litter” and we were treated to a lovely poem written by the students about the nuisances of litter! Well done boys for standing up and reading so clearly. It is often quite a daunting experience to be asked to stand in front of peers, so I was extremely proud of them. We are very much looking forward to the next tutor’s assembly; 7E and Miss Heduvan.

Some of our Year 7 “HMS Heroes” students are fortunate to be attending a visit to a Royal Navy Warship next week. This is as part of the HMS Heroes scheme we have at St Boniface’s to support those students with one or more parent in the Armed Forces. I will hopefully have more photographs and information to follow next week!

Yr. 7 rugby. The boys played their first competitive games on Thursday at Sir John Hunt. The games are shortened to 10 minutes each way and are used to develop the boys’ skill levels and their knowledge of the game. I was really delighted with the boys’ commitment and we came away unbeaten with a draw against both Eggbuckland and Sir John Hunt. Well done to all!

 Some important dates for the Year 7 diary;

·       October 10^th – We are having a whole school photograph at 11.30am to celebrate the 150^th Anniversary of the school! Please ensure that your son is looking especially smart that day!

·      October 18^th – Mufti day for the students in school and a “Welcome Disco” at St Boniface’s for Key Stage 3 students in the evening. To welcome the New Year 7’s, we hold a disco here at St Boniface’s where students from Notre Dame are invited also. Tickets will be available from Mrs Mills (Maths) very soon! All money raised is going to a fantastic cause – Project Motiv8. This a project that is being organised by our fantastic PTFA to refurbish our Multi Gym in school. We are trying to raise as much money as possible so please feel free to support us and donate anything you can. Project Motiv8 is a project that will benefit all of our students, whether it is in PE lessons during the school day, or the use of the gym during free leisure time.

To ensure the extremely high standards that Year 7 continue to demonstrate, please can I ask parents to make a note of the following;

·         Students should adhere to the hair and uniform requirements at all times. Please ensure that the correct outer wear garments are being used as the weather starts to turn towards winter. Students should only be wearing black or navy blue coats, thank you.

·         Mobile phones should not be on during the school day. They should be switched off and in bags so that learning is not disturbed.

·         Home learning should be completed for all subjects in a timely manner. Please can parents insist on checking planners and guiding the students with their organisation.

·         Please can parents ensure their son has a reading book in his bag every day to support our reading scheme. This is to further help and improve literacy standards whereby all students will undertake 30 minutes of silent reading each day.

I have sent students home this week with email slips for parents to fill in. This is by far the most convenient and quick way for me to keep in touch with parents. Please can I ask that if your son has given you a slip that you complete and return as soon as possible. I will be sending out regular emails with updates.

Finally, I know I repeat this every week, but I really am very proud of my extremely skilled transition tutor team here at St Boniface’s. The tutors are specialised in dealing with a range of Year 7 pastoral issues. Please do not hesitate in contacting either your son’s tutor via email, or me directly, should you have concerns or questions. Our email addresses are available on the school website www.stbonifaces.com or in the parent diary handed to your sons this week.

I wish you all a lovely, relaxing weekend with your families.

 Miss Beales,

Head of Year 7

 Year 8

The rugby team got off to a flying start on Tuesday with two wins over Tavistock and All Saints! Mr Weaver was very impressed, well done!

The Year group all received a letter during the week detailing who their new mentor will be from now until the end of Year 11. If you have not seen this letter please ask your son to pass it over!

The Harvest mass is on Thursday at 12:35 for our Year group so we are very much looking forward to that. Thanks to Mrs Chapman for organising this.

The lunchtime room continues to be used well. It is great to see the boys interacting so well together and the standard of chess and draughts is increasing all the time!

We thank Mr Romaine for his assembly last week when he outlined the importance of endurance and persistence. Very important for all of us, whatever age!

Mr. Tucker

 Year 9

Last Sunday the church celebrated harvest with children from the local primary presenting gifts of food at the altar, this week 9E presented an assembly on a similar topic as seen through the eyes of Cafod. As part of our own charity contribution this term- as a year group - we would like to harvest food donations to help the homeless in our own city. If each student would kindly donate at least one non-perishable item of food we could make a big difference, so can I ask you to search your food cupboards or purchase any item which your son can contribute towards our own harvest presentation.

As a school we are always looking for ways to improve our communication and build relationships with you as parents, when your son started in year 7 we asked for your email address to enable us to try and set up a system where we could notify you of any events or activities, unfortunately, there were very few responses, so I would once again like to ask you for your e-mail address, if you would kindly send me an e-mail at lmcloughlin@stbonifaces.com with your son’s name  I can try and set up a year group address book.

If you have any queries of anything you wish to pass on please do not hesitate to e-mail me using the above address.

Mrs L. Mcloughlin

Head of Year 9

 YEAR 10

Congratulations to 10K form tutor Mr Neethling and his wife who became parents again to baby Zachary!  The boys made a lovely card to send home to Chez Neethling to wish their new son well – perhaps a future member of the SBCC Class of 2032?

The singing assembly was great fun too!  One Direction’s “Best Song Ever” followed by the Green Day classic “Time of Your Life”.  We’re looking forward to singing some Christmas carols as we enter Advent on December 1^st.

Next Monday, 10G will lead us in assembly about CAFOD’s Fast Day on Friday October 4^th.  On the day, students can give up their break and donate the money to the charity to help feed those in need.  Click here to email the Prime Minister David Cameron now, calling for power to be shared between rich and poor so that everyone has enough to eat.  Follow @CAFOD on Twitter too!

Mentoring letters have gone out to all students – there are some minor changes, so please make sure you read it carefully.

There is a photography competition for students in Year 10-13… click here to enter.  The theme is “where you belong”.  The prize fund is £2800.

Our 150^th Anniversary celebrations continued with a special aerial photograph of the entire school on Wednesday – which saw 920 people standing in the shape of the number 150.  This was a fantastic event organised by Mr Smart – and his STEM Mathletes!  The rain held off just enough to take the fantastic photo!

Mr. Scott

Year 11

Thank you to Matthew and Josh for attending the Sports Ambassadors Conference at the Plymouth Life Centre, as St Boniface’s representatives. The Ambassadors programme is an excellent initiative that provides young people with the opportunity to volunteer to take on extra responsibility on behalf of others in the school. 

Well done to Zach and Josh for producing an excellent presentation in Religious Education.  According to their teacher Ms Sandford it was outstanding and professionally executed. 

As head of year, I was very pleased to see a large number of the year 11 cohort volunteer to become peer mentors for boys in year 9.  The boys will be providing an excellent service by passing on their experience and wisdom   in a way the year 9 boys will relate to.  

Mr. Redfern

Post 16

Year 13 Geographers went to Slapton Ley on Thursday 26^th to study succession across the shingle ridge. The tutor from the Field Study Centre couldn’t believe what great results the students collected ‘I’ve never seen them all work so well’ and wanted them to stay for longer because they were far nicer group than the others she had! Great ambassadors for the school!

The sixth form is about opportunities and community. Two events have been prominent this week amongst many.

·         a group of sixth form sports coaches went into a Local Primary school to coach and teach the  students how to coach. They were exemplary and a credit to the College, credit to Miss Sandford for her organisation and to the coaches for the way they went about communicating with the students. An ideal opportunity where both parties can benefit.

·         Our range of vocational courses goes from strength to strength. This is the opportunity to gain a relevant vocational qualification alongside A levels. The Teaching Assistant course has proved invaluable for any student who wants to go into this profession or into teaching. The universities look very favourable on this because it sets you apart and gives you quality experience. Congratulations to Dale who secured his place at Lancaster based on this qualification.

Our community also has times where illness strikes families or loved ones. It is also traditionally the time that Meningitis strikes young people, as they return to school and come into contact with each other. Your son/daughter will have information about early warning signs.

Year 13 should be doing their UCAS applications online now if they wish to apply to University.

St. Boniface's Catholic College Headteachers Blog 23.9.13

Hello once again,   I hope that you have all had a good week. I also hope that your son has brought home the St. Boniface’s College Autumn diary for you. Please ask him to give you the red diary he was given to take home today.  The diary contains lots of information about the College and what is happening up to Christmas – if you can think of anything you would like in such a termly diary then please drop me an e-mail, a new diary will be released for the Spring term. The diary contains a homework timetable for the academic year and pupils have been asked to use their planners to put the set homework in. Could I ask you to please check and sign the planners weekly – tutors have also been asked to sign planners on a weekly cycle. If you would like to make any notes in the planners for the tutor then please do so, please remember that every teacher can be contacted via their e-mail address as well. The College is also returning to Parent /Teacher evenings along with mentor days, the first year 11 evening, I am proposing to have two such evenings for year 11, is on Tuesday 10th December – just after the Y11 mock exams. Again the dates can all be found in the Autumn Diary. The mentor day of Friday 22nd remains. The College is also on schedule to initiate a parent texting service, letters will be coming home hopefully within a fortnight for you to join the service. I am also about to write to all parents with updates in case they have not got access to this blog – Mrs Venn, our Assistant Head teacher for Inclusion has asked for information regarding free school meals, service family children along with other information so please do keep an eye out – I shall of course post the letter with the appropriate blog. The College has yet to hear back from Ofsted regarding the suitability of the proposed action plan put in place with the College and the local authority. As soon as it is agreed with Ofsted that the plan is appropriate I intend to publish it to parents and staff. I would like to thank the pupils for all the hard work they have put in again this week – there appears to be an ordered approach around the College however certain boys continue to test the dress code of the College by having their shirts un-tucked. Could you please talk with your son if you suspect he may be one such pupil, patience will run out and detentions will be given which would be a great shame over such an issue but standards will not be compromised. Unfortunately two pupils were sent home this week, with parental follow up, for trying to disrupt the learning in classes – standards will not be compromised. I was fortunate enough on Monday to spend time at an Ofsted rated “outstanding” school in Cornwall and the Head teacher there has kindly agreed to work closely with St. Boniface’s. Work continues quietly behind the scene in preparing St. Boniface’s to become an academy. We are awaiting Ministerial approval and I would like to thank those in the Diocese who are working tirelessly in this venture. My understanding is that this could take a number of weeks.   On a final note from me a huge thank you for all those who continue to offer support to the College and myself, I firmly believe we are well underway and I do hope that you are noticing a difference at home. God Bless, A.   Davies     A note from Mr. MacCormick: There will be two events happening on Friday 18th October to support the PTFA's efforts to refurbish our College's Fitness Suite through 'Project Motiv-8':   1. That day will be a Mufti day with students asked to bring a contribution, £2 if possible, to raise money for this cause.   2. That evening, there will be a College disco, also to support this project.  Further details on this evening will follow shortly.   A note from Mrs. Polson The first GCSE students took part in St Boniface Open Evenings with great success. They made, presented and served all refreshments to prospective parents with confidence and pride.   I am very proud of them all.           From Mr. Smart   Last Tuesday a group of Year 7, 8 and 9 lads went to the Plymouth University Science and Technology showcase at the Graduation Marquee. The lads spent the morning looking at the University’s educational workshops and its excellent facilities. The lads also got lots of free stuff! The lads really seemed to enjoy the day, and a big thanks to Mrs Parsons, Mr Tew and Miss Redfern for their help in organising the event. STEM club is back! And every fortnight on Thursday week B lunchtimes. I will be running STEM workshops, but also providing more opportunities for lads to enhance their STEM experience. Watch this space for details. A notice to all year 12s, particularly those taking Science, Maths or Engineering. I have various contacts within the Engineering sector, through the Education Business Partnership South West. I would like to run trips out to various companies in all branches of the sector, such as Chemical, Electrical, Mechanical and Automotive. If this is of interest to parents or year 12s, then please email me at jsmart@stbonifaces.com.       Year 7 Year 7 are continuing into the term in a hardworking fashion! Home learning is now a firm part of their timetable, with a range of weekly and monthly projects in place. Please remember if your son is struggling to adapt to this more structured homework system, we have a number of homework clubs available for him to attend, both in the Library or the Learning for Life Centre after school. I have been popping into various lessons across the campus again this week to check the year 7's learning and have been so impressed! Particular mention to the boys in 7P during an RE lesson, who are currently working independently on a St Boniface project. Miss Heduvan has commented on how impressed she has been with the mature attitude and approach to their learning. Keep up the great work boys!  To further help and improve literacy standards, the school has introduced a reading scheme were all students will undertake 30 minutes of silent reading each day. Could I therefore please ask, that you ensure your son has some suitable reading material in his school bag each day. I have asked tutors to check this is in place and thank you for your support with this.  This week’s assembly focussed on the very important message of “Respect”. I led the assembly with a blast of Aretha Franklin’s famous song “Respect!”. Sadly, this only managed to make me feel extremely old when not many of the Year 7’s knew the song, or had ever heard of the singer! We then discussed famous characters throughout history who have gained respect for a number of reasons. Some of the people discussed included, Mahatma Ghandi, Mother Teresa and my favourite, Lewis Hamilton! We then came up with a list of how to be respectful every day, not only in school but at home. Ending in a prayer, students were thankful for the respect they receive from each other and those who they love. We are very much looking forward to Mrs Polson and 7B’s assembly on Tuesday 24th September. Some of our Year 7 “HMS Heroes” students are fortunate to be attending a “Royal Navy March Past” on Friday at the Citadel, with Mr McKenna. This is as part of the HMS Heroes scheme we have at St Boniface’s to support those students with one or more parent in the Armed Forces. It will hopefully be a lovely occasion to show our continued support to the Armed Forces. An important date for the Year 7 diary;   ·         October 10th – We are having a whole school photograph at 11.30am to celebrate the 150th Anniversary of the school! Please ensure that your son is looking especially smart that day!   ·         October 18th – Welcome Disco at St Boniface’s for Key Stage 3 students. To welcome the New Year 7’s, we hold a disco here at St Boniface’s where students from Notre Dame are invited also. Tickets will be available soon!    The boys continue to look extremely smart and I have been so pleased that they are adhering to the hair and uniform requirements. Please ensure that the correct outer wear garments are being used as the weather starts to turn towards winter. Students should only be wearing black or navy blue coats, thank you. Finally, I am very proud that we have an extremely skilled transition tutor team here at St Boniface’s, who are specialised in dealing with a range of Year 7 pastoral issues. Please do not hesitate in contacting either your son’s tutor via email, or me directly, should you have concerns or questions. Our email addresses are available on the school website www.stbonifaces.com I wish you all a lovely weekend! Miss Beales, Head of Year 7   HMS Heroes in Operation.   Year 8 5 year 8 boys will be out on Monday visiting the Aquarium – city wide G&T day. Mr. Tucker   Year 9 “Have you done your homework:? “I haven’t got any” A conversation which goes on most homes, but I can assure you homework is being set, please can I ask that you regularly check your child’s planner, the planner is an excellent home school link and it is the responsibility of your son to get it signed by  his parent/guardian each week. To further help with communication, your son will be given a small red diary for parents listing key dates of terms, events and meetings etc. keeping you up to date of forth coming activities and….it has a homework diary. With the onset of Autumn this week and  with the colder wet weather one or two hoodies started to emerge, can I reiterate the school uniform of NO hoodies, the uniform is school blazer, black or dark blue coats –no logos, and an optional grey V necked jumper, hoodies will be confiscated. Congratulations this week go to… A talented young man Ben who will be attending the Southern Championships in Tae kwondo and following his runners up spot in a recent U18 table tennis competition held at the life centre has been selected for the Plymouth City Development Squad. Well done a great achievement. What else has you been up to, come on lads share your successes with us, or if there are any proud parents who would like to share their sons successes with me I would be pleased to hear them, I can be contacted on: lmcloughlin@stbonifaces.com Until next Friday, have a good week Mrs L. Mcloughlin Head of Year 9   Year 10 – Mr Scott   Year 10 students had a great time in assembly this week singing Queen’s “Bohemian Rhapsody” and “Don’t Stop Me Now” – few will forget Frankin’s amazing air guitar skills and stage sliding!  A great time was had by all! Well done to Luke who has been working with the PE Department to help train Year 7 students after school this week.  It’s always nice to see senior students modelling learning to our newest students. Mrs Hudson introduced Work Experience this week.  The chance to work in industry will take place next May.  More details to follow.     Year 11 Congratulations to James for representing Team GB in the Cross Triathlon trials.  He came sixth in a recent trial in Switzerland.  He has two other races, representing GB, in Germany and Canada next year to look forward to.   He is a credit to his school and we are all proud of him.   Wednesday 13th November – mock GCSE exams start – 6 school weeks away!   Mr. Redfern   Post 16 The vocational students have now fully started their courses. We have a number going out to deepest Cornwall to do Animal Care and the others are following their vocational courses in Plymouth. These are varied and provide a hands- on route to employment in the future. In addition theses students do English and Maths in College and are aiming at Functional Skills Level 2 and GCSE. For many students this is an important transition from School to the world of work with a supported environment. Many go on to achieve great things and have finally found out what they want to do. The vast majority achieve in the year and are ready to move on. Mr Claricoates is our Head of Vocational Studies and is doing an excellent job expanding the opportunities to the sixth form, including offering the Duke of Edinburgh Award. Vocational courses are also offered alongside A levels in the form of Teaching Assistant, Business Management, Sports Coaching and theses provide a real difference to any student entering theses professions as it gives them an edge over the other students. This is a massive growth area within the College and one that will continue with the Raising of the Participation age to 18 next year. If you require any further info then please contact me at the College. stew@stbonifaces.com   Monday 23 September 2013 Five Y8 boys will be out today visiting the Aquarium Fitness club (lunch) STEM (after school) Mr Smart Geography Clinic (lunch) Miss Beales Year 11 higher GCSE homework , catch up and revision (A29) 1500 – Maths Drop in Session Room A37 with Mr Allerton    Tuesday 24 September 2013 Drama club (lunch) Mr Trimmer Workshop sessions catch up (lunch) Mr Griffin Geography clinic (lunch) Miss Beales   Wednesday 25 September 2013 0950 – 1050 Year 7 Social Group (Group 2 – Chapel) 1050 – 1150 Year 7 Social Group (Group 1 - Chapel) 1520 – 1700 Year 7 Rugby Club Year 8 rugby (after school) Knitting club (lunch) Mrs Parsons E123 Board games (lunch) Mrs Williamson-Firth E123 School Play – Lord of the Flies (after school) Mr Trimmer Workshop sessions catch up (lunch) Mr Griffin Geography clinic (lunch) Miss Beales   Thursday 26 September 2013 Year 9 rugby (after school) Geography clinic (lunch) Miss Beales 1520 – 1630 – Miss Gosling’s Art Club (Week A only) 1700 – FGB Meeting   Friday 27 Sepember 2013 Android Club (lunch years 9-11) Mr Neethling Geography clinic (lunch) Miss Beales       PE Extra-curricular Clubs Timetable   MONDAY TUESDAY WEDNEDAY THURSDAY FRIDAY BEFORE SCHOOL 0730 - 0815     Breakfast Club Fitness, Basketball and Badminton (all years)     LUNCH TIME 1345 - 1415 Fitness Suite and Basketball (all years) Fitness Suite and Basketball (all years) Fitness Suite and Basketball (all years) Fitness Suite and Basketball (all years) Fitness Suite and Basketball (all years) AFTER SCHOOL 1530 - 1630 Rugby (Years 8 and 9) Basketball Year 7   Rugby Year 7 Circuit Training (all years) Table Tennis (Years 7 and 8) Rugby (Years 10 and 11)             Teach us, good Lord, to serve thee as thou deserves; to give and not to count the cost; to fight and not to heed the wounds; to toil and not to seek for rest; to labour and not to ask for any reward, ave that of knowing that we do thy will.
