    Athletics Success

    It has been a very successful year for the

    athletes at Christ the King School with

    there being so many impressive

    performances to mention!

    The most notable achievement came in

    t h e N o t t i n g h a m s h i r e C o u n t y

    Championships, with seven athletes

    being selected to represent Gedling

    Schools. Georgia Clarke (Year 10) and R-

    Marnei Williams (Year 8) both managed

    to win their events on the day and were

    crowned county champions. This meant

    that they were both selected to represent

    Nottinghamshire at the Mason Trophy in

    Birmingham. A big well done goes out to

    both girls for being the best in the county

    at their own event!

    The Year 7 and Year 8 girls‟ athletics

    teams had their best ever finish at the

    Gedling Athletics Championships this

    summer, with both teams finishing

    second. The Year 8 boys followed that

    with a third placed finish at their

    championships, with the Year 7 boys

    finishing sixth overall. Congratulations

    goes out to the six athletes who won gold

    medals on this day and therefore being

    crowned the best in Gedling at their

    event.

    Due to the improving standard of

    athletics at our school, we were invited to

    attend an athletics meet at Joseph

    Whitaker School and again our athletes

    more than held their own, with the Year 7

    team finishing fourth on the day. Some

    excellent individual performances were

    displayed by Maya Hyacienth (Year 7) in

    the long jump and Marcus Munjoma

    (Year 7) in the high jump.

    Well done to every athlete who has

    represented the school this year!

  • Sixth Form News B Kuczynska - Head of Sixth Form

    Election of Head Boy and Head Girl 2013

    As year 13 students leave us in May, it is time

    to hold elections for a new Head Boy and Head

    Girl. This year we only had two candidates for

    Head Boy but only one candidate for Head Girl

    so it was decided to elect a Head Prefect and

    Deputy Head Prefect. As always, hustings were

    held all week during Acts of Worship and

    candidates outlined their manifestos. Voting

    took place all day, with Sixth Formers acting as

    polling clerks and independent scrutineers. The

    eventual winner was Estefano de Padua who

    was duly elected Head Boy and Elisa Ellis came

    second and carries the title Deputy Head

    Prefect. Estefano leads a Prefect Team which

    comprises: Pictured: candidates for Head Prefect with Vimbai (Head Girl) and Jhudari (Head Boy)

    Congratulations

    Sixth Former Piotr Kluk with

    Professor Colin Blakemore at

    the presentation ceremony

    where Piotr won second prize

    in a poster competition. We

    reported on this in the last

    newsletter, but at the time of

    writing the photos were not

    available. Just for clarification,

    Professor Blakemore is on the

    left!

    Year 13 Leavers Liturgy

    The end of our students‟ time in

    the Sixth Form comes all too

    quickly. The students arrived in

    the morning as usual and were

    incredibly excited about the day

    ahead. Photographs, autographs

    and squeals. Friendship and

    camaraderie were most evident

    when singing together as Rio

    Malacarne entertained on the

    accordion: tunes such “That‟s

    amore”, “Roll out the barrel” and

    the theme from “Titanic” complete

    with re- enactment of Leonardo

    and Kate “flying”.

    As always, the end of lessons is

    marked with a celebration of their

    time with us. The celebration is a

    juxtaposition of formal prayers

    and readings and less formal

    contributions by the students.

    Identical twins, Tanaka and

    Tanatswa read the bidding

    prayers, together, Vimbai (Head

    Girl) read a passage from a letter

    from St. Paul, and Thandoe

    performed a poem she had written

    called, ”Goodbye.” All four girls

    have been affectionately referred

    to as “Team Zim” as they

    originally came to us from

    Zimbabwe. All have been Prefects

    and have served the school

    community in an exemplary

    manner. In fact not only did we

    have Team Zim, but also Teams

    Po lska , I t a l ia and Eire ,

    underlining the richness of

    cultures at CTK.

    Michael Shelley and Luke O‟Hara

    (winners of CTK‟s got talent)

    entertained with guitar and song

    and set the scene for a transition

    to the less formal elements. Lydia

    Loscalzo had masterminded

    awards, gently lampooning

    everyone in the year; no-one was

    safe! Mrs. Kuczynska had

    prepared a presentation, a

    montage of images of the students

    over the years, engaging in various

    silly antics. This, coupled with

    their original year 7 photos and

    appropriate captions caused great

    hilarity. All of this against a

    backdrop of Carly Simon singing,

    “Nobody does it better.”

    Out came Rio‟s accordion again

    and he played with gusto as we all

    had afternoon tea with glorious

    cheesecakes and gateaux. The

    students lingered, not wanting to

    leave the Common Room where

    they had wasted time for two

    years, but they had to. The

    afternoon ended most pleasantly

    with a final piece of wisdom from

    Guru Kuczynska:

    “No matter how old you are,

    when you go out into the

    world, it is always best to hold

  • Year 13 Leavers Ball

    The theme for this year‟s Leavers

    Ball was James Bond, and as

    always was held at Bestwood

    Lodge Hotel. Everyone entered

    into the spirit of the occasion,

    dressing appropriately. A disco

    followed a splendid three course

    meal, awards were presented in

    various categories and the

    evening ended with carriages at

    midnight. Everyone left shaken

    but not stirred.

    Lydia Loscalzo got

    my vote for Miss

    Moneypenny

    and

    Rio Malacarne

    must certainly be

    the next James

    Bond.

    Heading to Lourdes

    FIVE million pilgrims make their way

    to Lourdes every year – a town with a

    population of just 15,000. The small

    market town in south-west France, in

    the foothills of the Pyrenees, became a

    major pilgrimage spot after a number

    of reported apparitions in the

    nineteenth century. In 1858, a 14-

    year-old girl told her mother a lady

    had spoken to her from the

    Massabielle cave. That girl was Saint

    Bernadette Soubirous, who was later

    canonised. A number of healings are

    said to have taken place in the

    Lourdes water spring, which many

    Christians, both Roman Catholic and

    Protestant, believe have validated

    Saint Soubirous‟ claims. In honour of

    this, some of our Year 12 students

    pupils have cycled round the school

    933 times to raise money for their own

    pilgrimage to France. The pupils are

    going to Lourdes later this month to

    help elderly and disabled Catholics on

    the traditional pilgrimage. They

    cycled round the school 933 times as

    the school is 933 miles away from

    Lourdes. The cycle ride raised more

    than £800, and contributed to their

    £2,450 target to make the trip. The

    nine sixth-formers are paying for half

    of the cost of the 26-hour coach ride

    and paying for the rest through

    various fundraising activities

    including cake sales and non-uniform

    days. Emily Nash, said: “I want to go

    to Lourdes because I want to help

    those who, without our help, would

    not be able to go.” Fellow pupil

    Kathryn Fitzmaurice added: “I think

    all of our legs are still hurting from

    the cycling, but it was a really fun

    way of raising money together.”

    Father Simon Gillespie, deputy

    director of the Nottingham Diocesan

    Lourdes Pilgrimage, said: “It‟s only

    with the generosity of the students

    that we are able to take these people

    to Lourdes.” “The trip teaches them

    team-building and they will get to

    know a lot of people their age by

    working with them during the

    pilgrimage. “And one of the most

    important things is that they will see

    how much their efforts are

    appreciated by the local communities.

    ” Joe Hopkins our Lay Chaplain said:

    “It‟s not a school trip, and they are not

    going sightseeing. That‟s what makes

    their commitment so impressive. A lot

    of effort has gone into the

    fundraising.” He added that the school

    had a fond tradition of Year 12

    students making the trip. “Everyone

    gets their friends and the community

    involved so the fund raising is more

    than just paying for the trip. Year 9

    children are already talking about

    how they can‟t wait to go in three

    years‟ time, ” he said. Finally, the

    Year 12 students would like to thank

    those who sponsored them from the

    parishes of The Good Shepherd,

    Arnold; Holy Cross, Hucknall; Sacred

    Heart, Carlton; and Infant of Prague,

    Bestwood Park. As well as their fellow

    students at Christ the King who

    showed their support by having a non-

    uniform day and cheered them on .

  • CTK at the Albert Hall

    Nottingham Citizens is a group of lots of people from all

    different backgrounds who all want to make Nottingham a

    better place. There was a meeting in November last year

    and important people like MP‟s and Paddy Tipping the police

    commissioner were there. They were given lots of questions

    and were asked for serous answers as to whether they would

    help Nottingham Citizens. Last week, there was another

    meeting and I, James Akers and Jhudari Scholar and other

    pupils and teachers went. It was at the Albert on the 27th of

    June 2013. The Albert Hall was a massive place and was

    built by the Methodist church. When I got there, Miss Nokes

    asked me to go on stage and speak in front of 1,000 people. I

    had to say my name and that I represented CTK and I was in

    Year 7. It was a bit scary and everyone clapped Jhudari was

    on the panel of people who were asking questions to the MP‟s

    and Paddy Tipping and he was chairing the Assembly along

    with 3 other leaders in the city. They were given 3 minutes to answer questions by the panel and Jhudari

    rang his bell if they went over their 3 minutes. James Akers also asked them questions, and we all clapped

    when he went on stage. They all agreed that they would support Nottingham Citizens In lots of things

    like: Giving workers the living wage which is more than the minimum wage; Putting police offers on some

    school bus routes to protect children;

    Making Nottingham a safer place in clubs and bars at night for young people; Giving more support to

    those that mental health problems and women and men who suffer domestic violence. Everyone agreed

    that it was a fantastic evening with many promises made by important people to support Nottingham

    Citizens.

  • 999 Safety Days

    On Thursday 20th June (Year 7) and Friday 21st June (Year 8) Christ the King hosted 999 Safety days

    organised by Paul Kanikowski our School Liaison Officer. Seven agencies ran sessions covering a wide

    range of topics that deal with a large part of the Citizenship syllabus.

    All the sessions lasted 30 minutes and were led by agencies based in our local community. The pupils

    really engaged with the topics covered and represented our academy brilliantly. The alcohol awareness

    session was a big success as pupils had to pour what they thought 1 unit of alcohol was – let‟s just say

    they were very generous!

    Tour De Fred

    10 students from Christ the King were part of the Diocesan group that welcomed Fred Uttley from

    Padiham in Lancashire, who reached Nottingham Cathedral on day 19 of his challenge to cycle to all 22

    Catholic dioceses in England & Wales in just under three weeks – a challenge that has been dubbed the

    „Tour de Fred‟. By cycling more than 1,000 miles round the country Fred hopes to raise funds for farmers

    in Bangladesh, and inspire others to campaign against world hunger.

    Fred was not travelling alone. Paralympian Mark Brown, who won a silver medal at Sydney in 2000, had

    accompanied Fred on the whole of the „Tour de Fred‟, at times cycling with him, at times driving the

    support vehicle. Mark, the husband of Fred‟s niece, is an experienced cyclist and a former soldier who lost

    his left arm in an accident. Both Fred and Mark were given a warm welcome by a group of students and

    staff from Christ the King Secondary School, Arnold, Nottingham, alongside Marie Molloy, Diocesan

    Manager and Cathedral Dean, Fr Geoffrey Hunton, when they arrived shortly before 1 pm mass. After

    mass there was time for all to chat to Fred and Mark about their experiences and enjoy a light picnic lunch

    in the cathedral garden before the cyclists had to set off for Hallam Diocese.

    Both Fred and Mark admitted to be looking

    forward to their return home to Salford Diocese

    on Saturday and the chance to be reunited with

    their families. Fred said: ”I have met such

    lovely people along the way, visited schools,

    taken part in parish events, been offered

    hospitality in supporters homes – it has been

    an amazing experience.” For Mark, the biggest

    challenge was plotting the route avoiding busy

    major roads and steep hills! Fred, a great

    grandfather, former plumber and ardent

    Burnley FC fan, has volunteered for CAFOD

    for more than ten years, in particular

    organising CAFOD schools football

    competitions. In 2004, he visited Liberia, in

    West Africa, with CAFOD, where he met

    former World Player of the Year, George Weah,

    and presented strips from Burnley, Everton,

    Liverpool, and his local junior team to teams

    using football in Liberia as a unifying force in the former war-torn country.

    Fred says that the inspiration for his bike ride came out of the blue, as an alternative to his parish‟s

    regular fundraising quiz. He said: “I wanted to think of another way to raise money, so I was sat at home

    and then it came to me, „Why don‟t I do a bike ride round each of the dioceses in the UK for CAFOD?‟”

    Both Fred and Mark were very grateful for the support shown to them by our students.

  • Trip to Loughborough University

    On Thursday 20th June some of our Year 10 students went

    on a visit to Loughborough University for a maths filled

    day organised by the Access to Further Mathematics and

    Loughborough University. The theme of the day was

    Rollercoasters and we learnt all about the maths behind

    the rides at Alton Towers (including the new ride Smiler),

    designed our own loop the loop and developed our

    understanding of 3D shapes. Michael Killingworth,

    together with his team, won a prize for building an

    icosahedron (a Platonic solid with 20 equal triangular

    faces). The day was rounded off with a tour of the

    University itself and its impressive sports facilities. We

    even got to see inside the National Cricket Performance

    Centre and the Seb Coe High Performance Athletics

    Centre. Hopefully it made all involved realise how exciting

    it would be to study Maths at A Level and beyond.

    Year 11 Prom

    As is tradition our year 11 students celebrated the end of their GCSE exam period with a fantastic Prom at

    the Rutland Square Hotel. It was a brilliant evening that saw some superb entrances with even better

    outfits. It was a great way to bring the academic year to a close. The students enjoyed food, an awards

    presentation and lots of dancing throughout the night. Special congratulations goes out to Charlie Dawn

    Sadler and Amarie Colphon who won the award for Prom Queen and Prom King. Thank you to all of the

    students and staff who helped make it a wonderful evening. Mr Baxter

    More Athletics Talent at CTK!

    Due to our improved performance in athletics as a school, we have been invited to a number of athletics

    meets in recent weeks by schools in the local area who excel in athletics. We attended a Year 7 and Year 8

    competition at Joseph Whitaker School alongside Toothill School, Magnus School, Arnold Hill Academy

    and The Minster School, coming second in the Year 8 competition and third in the Year 7 competition.

    This is an outstanding achievement by the pupils and it demonstrates the high level of talent that we

    have at Christ the King.

  • Showcase 2013

    On Thursday 20th June, Christ the King Voluntary Academy hosted the annual „Showcase Evening‟ for

    Year 5 students and parents of the primary schools from our Academy Trust. Teachers from Christ the

    King went out to the primary schools and had just one day to prepare their performances for the evening!

    The Showcase proved to be an exceptional success, as all of the schools displayed their talents to

    contribute towards a terrific evening. Mrs Stanley, CTK‟s new Drama teacher, worked wonders with the

    students of Sacred Heart in Carlton, as they produced „visual poetry,‟ performing Roald Dahl‟s Revolting

    Rhymes. Miss Wooley, ICT teacher and choreographer-extraordinaire, worked with the students of St

    Margaret Clitherow, as they danced their hearts out in a Street Dance performance. Mrs Harvey, who we

    recently welcomed back from her maternity, showed us exactly why we have missed her so much, as she

    got her Year 9 Music GCSE students to work with students from Good Shepherd on a stunning

    performance of ‟Just The Way You Are‟ by Bruno Mars and with Holy Cross School in Hucknall, as they

    performed „Written In The Stars‟ by Tinie Tempah brilliantly.

    All of these performances were supported by some of the exceptional talent of our own Christ the King

    Students, as Daniel Bartley displayed his skill with the flute and Genine Labis sang „When There Was Me

    and You‟ from High School Musical, the school‟s recent show, as she brought the house down with an eye-

    watering display of vocal talent. As well as these performances,

    the audience was also treated to a beautiful rendition of Jeff

    Buckley‟s Halleluiah, by Jacob Seelochan, Genine Labis, Megan

    Leask-Walters and James Akers. Finally, the newly formed CTK

    Cheerleading group performed in public for the first time. It was

    a terrific celebration of the many talents of all of the children in

    the Pax Christi Academy Trust and we look forward to

    welcoming the Year 5s (who will then be year 6s!) to Christ the

    King for our Open Evening on September the 19th. Well done to

    all who were involved! Mr Brogan

    Gedling Athletic Development Agency Achievements

    This weekend‟s competition went extremely well, all of our athlete‟s made an amazing effort and came back

    with placings of: two 1st‟s two seconds and a 4th and 5th. Durrell and Keiron went up against some much

    bigger boys in the U17‟s category and achieved 4th and 5th which is incredible considering they were

    competing with dedicated weightlifters. Keiron and Durrell not only represented G.A.D.A. but also

    represented CTK and did both proud with their conduct, enthusiasm and respect throughout the day. Here

    is a Facebook link if you would like to view their performance; https://www.facebook.com/#!/

    News from the Chaplain:

    Lourdes

    By the time you are reading this we will be back from Lourdes. Nine sixth formers, Mrs Walton, Miss

    Nokes and I have joined many others from across the diocese to go on pilgrimage to Lourdes. I am very

    proud of the 6th Formers who have worked really hard fundraising throughout this year; this isn‟t a holiday

    for them, the go to help and care for others, so their efforts should be acknowledged. One of our most recent

    fundraising events has been „Cycle to Lourdes‟ 933 laps around the tennis courts representing the 933

    miles between CtK and Lourdes. We would like to thank all those who sponsored us, particularly those

    from our Parishes, approximately £700 was raised! We are keeping all of CtK, the other Academies in our

    trust and the members of our parishes in our prayers throughout the pilgrimage.

    Next Year

    When we return in September the Chapel will be completely refurbished! It will be open more often and

    will be a beautiful, relaxing place to come to find some peace.

    There will also be some new activities and events happening in the Chapel:

    Morning Grace: Every morning before school- a time for quiet, a time for peace, a time for prayer. 8.15

    -8.35am

    Mass: Every Thursday at Lunch time in the Chapel

    Oasis: We all need a time to stop and think. To be refreshed, renewed and reconciled. Feel

    free to drop in for a few minutes or stay for longer. There will also be the opportunity

    for confession. Monthly at Friday Lunch times!

    And many more to follow!

    Finally I hope you have a wonderful (and safe) holiday. To our students thank you for welcoming me this

    term and I look forward to seeing you all again in September. God Bless. Joe, School Chaplain
