Easter Holiday challenge: Egg decorating
The Academy has been privileged to have the support of the North East
Youth for Christ Team over the past year and a half. They have provided
holiday clubs, an interactive multi-media experience, assembly thoughts
and they have run Rock Solid groups.
Rock Solid provides a great environment for students to have an element
of community within a faith based framework. The group focuses on living
life to the full and consider how to set down solid foundations. There
is an opportunity to discuss life’s most difficult questions for example:
‘Why am I here? Do I matter? What’s the point? How do we cope when
life gets very hard? Rock Solid has at its heart some serious fun and great
conversations. It has become part of Bede Academy life and so it is with
delight that we can now inform you that the club is restarting.
Rock Solid is now able to take place online through Google Classroom.
The meetings will be each Thursday: 11.50 for years 7 to 8 and 12.40 for
years 9 and 10. A classroom has been set up for each of the two meetings so it is easy to join in the club meeting as part of the designated year groups.
Mr Grant
Ethos and Community coordinator
House Basketball
The house basketball challenge was keenly contested by students
with close on 100 staff and students taking part. Competition in year
8 was particularly fierce and they produced our top 3 results across
the academy with Hayley S (8 Tipper) scoring 66, closely followed
by Elsbeth R (8 Ames) and James T (8 Tian). Special mention to top
performers in year 7 Kalem H (7 Mcmurchie) who scored 53, and in
year 9 Emily N (9 Shackleton) who got 60.
