D i a r y D a t e sU13 Chiswick Girls Attend MTG Utd Football Tournament The U13 Chiswick school football team entered the MTG United football for peace tournament on Sunday 24th June at Roko. The girls were in a group, which included teams such as Tottenham Hotspur, Tower Hamlets and Hammersmith Academy.

There were some outstanding performances including some great saves from Akesha Campbell in goal and great leadership from Kensie Werndley. Jimmy Carter, ex Arsenal and Liverpool player, and Paul ‘Woody’ Wood, freestyle specialist, were the two ambassadors for the day and our very own Beth Sheehan and Lucy Davies were lucky enough to play a match with these football legends.

The girls came third out of their group overall and went on to play a friendly against local side Brentford. They won this game 1-0 with a great strike from Beth Sheehan. The coach from Brentford was so impressed that he has invited the girls down to Brentford to play with the team. Miss Middleton & Miss Bland

The Sixth Form team headed by Ms Shute and Mr Sadler held a cru-cial and well attended Progression Evening for Year 12 students and their parents to help them prepare their applications to universities, employment or apprenticeships af-ter they leave school.

The evening began with presenta-tions from Ms Shute and Mr Sad-lerr followed by Ms Perkins our ex Head of Sixth Form, now Head of Careers at City of London Girls talking about the university appli-cation process. This was followed by a useful presentation on Student Finance from the student loan com-pany. The packed hall responded enthusiastically.

The presentations were followed by breakout sessions where stu-dents could find out more detail about different topics. Mr. Whiting led a session about progression in the Arts, whilst Tom Pyke, gover-

nor, and also admissions tutor at Imperial College, spoke about Sci-ence, Technology and Engineering courses. There were further work-shops about apprenticeships and a detailed look at the university ap-plication process.

Jack Hodges a Year 12 student said 'It really helped me think about what I will be doing next year'. ‘It was a great success’, said Mr. Sadler. ‘We will certainly repeat it next year. Our insistence that there is no failure in Year 12 means that students can now all focus on achieving the results in Year 13 they need, to gain the progression route they want when they leave.’

In 7 Kent, Robert Bautista has won the Jack Petchey award, an outstanding achievement considering he has been at Chiswick School for less than a year.

Robert won the award for taking part in several school events including the Spring Festival where he sang. He is also a member of School Council and will be a buddy for the new Year 6 pupils joining the school in September.

'I am a street dancer with the Ghost dance Troop', said Robert. 'I really want to help the whole school with the award and would like to put it towards more water fountains. I was really surprised when I won, but now I'm really proud of myself'.

Mr Harrington said ‘Robert is an excellent role model for the other year sevens and will make an outstanding buddy for the year sixes.’

Over the Jubilee Celebrations James Pavey along with 3 other cadets from the Richmond Unit took part in the Her Majesty the Queen's diamond ju-bilee river pageant. He was in boat 32 which was one of 52 other sea cadet new boats the Trinity 500.

The sea cadet floatilla was in a di-maond formation and escorted Her Majesty from Putney Bridge to Green-wich. Each sea cadet boat carried a commonwealth flag and Jame's boat was St. Vincent and the Grenadines. Sea cadets from all over the UK and exchange cadets from Hong Kong took part in this spectacular event.

They were sponsored by Suzuki and the boats were driven by a 2.5 hp (horsepower) outboard engine by Su-zuki, so everyone had special branded clothing for the event. They were on the river from 9:30am- 4:00pm through the sunshine, cold and rain. This was a once in a lifetime opportunity for James and he said 'it was great to be part of such a massive event and I will remember that day for a long time.'

Louis Power and George Gers, Year 8 students leaders, were given the fan-tastic opportunity to be part of a panel alongside other students from across the Borough to take part in an inter-view panel for Hounslow’s new Direc-tor of Children’s and Adults’ Services.

On Tuesday June 18th both students attended an evening training session in which they learnt about the respon-sibilities of the Director and how the recruitment process works. Stephen Hutchinson, who organised the young people's panel said: 'Louis and George took on a difficult task with a positive attitude and a sense of humour. 'They were a credit to Chiswick School.'

A massive thank you to Louis and George for giving up their free time even missing the first half of the Eng-land match on Tuesday which both students so badly wanted to see. They both represented the school with true professionalism and commitment. Mrs izquierdoTickets on Sale Now!
