Campsmount Technology College

Using a DJI F450 NAZA Quadcopter with a GoPro sportscam Campsmount S.T.E.M Club has yet again managed to get some fantastic aerial footage. We will soon be setting free our weather balloon to 100,000ft and the footage from that should be outstanding. If you want to know more please feel free to pop along to S.T.E.M Club on a Tuesday evening in D2.

Following our link to improve attendance with Doncaster Knights we have been offered an outstanding package for students and families to watch the Knights match against local rivals Rotherham on the 18th February with a 12:05 Kick Off.

This match will be televised LIVE ON SKY SPORTS and the Club have generously offered the College a Family Ticket (2 adults and 2 children) in the Woodside Stand for £10!!!

These ticket are available on a first come first served basis. If you wish to take up this outstanding offer then please see Mr Blair with your £10 and your tickets will be issued prior to the game.

It’s a new term a this is a new start to Campsmount Climbing Club. We are looking for new students to join us in this exciting and challenging sport. It is open to any age group, girls, boys and staff. It is a great way to keep fit and build strength. You do not have to have any previous climbing experience and all the equipment is supplied by the centre.

We will be using the outstanding Leeds Wall as our indoor base and will be, in the summer months, taking some outdoor trips to various climbing locations.

This is an awesome sport and I am sure all involved will love it.

The dates we have booked are: 27th Feb, 12th / 26th March, 16th / 30th April. These are all on a Monday after school and we aim to get back to Campsmount for 7:00pm.

Please see Mr Gualda or Mr Huntridge for more details.

Despite uncertain economic times our 6th form students delivered a record 108 hampers to elderly members of our community. The hampers were made up of kind donations of food and money from Campsmount’s students and staff. This record haul in such austere times simply shows how caring people can be and we would like to express our gratitude to everyone who contributed. Well done to our 6th form students and staff!

It has been another exciting and challenging year at Campsmount and once again we have emerged both stronger and more united.  The new building is on schedule and progressing well and we are all looking forward to moving into our new ‘home’ next Easter.  This will provide us with a superb learning environment to help us continue and progress the excellent work we have done over previous years.  I would like to pass on my personal thanks to Wates and everyone involved in the new build project.

Finally, I would like to thank everyone associated with Campsmount; students, staff, parents, governors and the wider community for your unflinching support and hard work that makes the school such a special place.  Have a very Merry Christmas and a peaceful, prosperous New Year.
