Do you want to be part of history?

A once in a lifetime opportunity has arisen to be part of the World’s Greatest Sporting and Cultural Spectacle.

We have tickets for two events in London.  You could witness some of the stars of the NBA in the men’s Basketball Quarter-finals on Wednesday 8th August 2012.  This is followed on Thursday 9th August 2012 by a visit to Olympic Park to watch the men’s Hockey tournament.

The trip includes return coach travel from school to London, overnight stay in university accommodation with a full breakfast buffet, official tickets for the events, and a Games travel card for public transport.

The total cost of this unforgettable experience is £239.

Places are limited to 36 and a deposit of £50 would need to be paid by Monday 17th July 2011.

See Mr. Gualda for letters.

This week A-Level ICT students from Campsmount visited a local professional photographer, Derek Collins. Derek invited them to his photography studio near Askern lake where he explained and demonstrated how the studio works.  The students then took photos and learned how the differing  lighting arrangements affects the exposure of the subject etc.  This was a fantastic opportunity for our students, not only to get tuition from a professional but also to work in a professional environment with professional equipment.  We would like to thank Derek for working with our students and giving them this unique opportunity.

The dancing will be awesome and couple this to a state of the art lighting and sound system the night will be one not to miss.

The Dance show is on the 29th June and starts at 7PM. Doors open from 6:15pm and refreshments will be available during the interval.

Tickets are now ready for sale at £3.00 per seat  and you can get them from Miss Lindley or Mr Huntridge from Tuesday 14th onwards in the entrance area to the Pastoral Office.

Can students please take their payments to the pastoral office as soon as possible.

Hope you are all excited and looking forward to what is going to be a very special evening.

Many Thanks.

In September 2010, the application process commenced for new students to apply to become members of the Campsmount Leadership Academy. New Co-ordinators were appointed and both of these students assisted with the interview process. By the end of September, we had 30 students enrolled into the Academy, consisting of some previous members who had stayed on to study at school and new members in Year 10, 11, 12 & 13.

As part of being a member of the Campsmount Academy, those students who are 16 years old have also had the opportunity to apply to be members of the Doncaster Leadership Academy, I am pleased to announce that 4 of our students Georgina Burtoft, Tom Gabbitass, Josh Gilies and Lauren Wright have all been successfully appointed as members and over the course of the next year they will be completing training in a whole host of different awards and training courses.

On top of this the school were successful in receiving a grant from the Youth Bank Trust on rewarding our students for their hard work and dedication to the scheme and over the course of the next year, we will be paying for all of our members to attend various coaching qualification courses. As well, as looking into setting up “In House” Child Protection and First Aid Training, as part of the scheme.

The next stage for us is to order all new kit for academy members and look at upskilling our students with using the Realsmart package to record and monitor the Leadership and Volunteering that they do out in the community.

An exciting time for this project……..
