The school was privileged to welcome Holocaust survivor Gabriele Keenaghan to the school on Monday 8th May. Gabriele spoke very movingly to a group of our year 9s about her experience of the Kindertransport, her escape from Austria, the disappearance of her Jewish father and her reunion with her Christian mother after the war. This gave the students a real insight not only into the Holocaust but into the experiences of refugees and the importance of the welcome they receive in the countries where they take refuge. The students were clearly inspired as they went on to produce very impressive posters about some of the Holocaust survivors who have gone on to achieve great things, leading us to ponder the question what great human achievements were lost with the 6 million and more murdered by the Nazis. The survivors the students discovered ranged from Nobel laureates like Primo Levi, Daniel Kahneman and Francois Englert through British Olympic Weightlifter Ben Helfgott to the inventor of the Transformers, Henry Orenstein These posters are going to be displayed in departments around the school, appropriate to the survivors achievements, as a reminder to all in the school community of the events of the past and of what can be achieved even by those who face the greatest of challenges in their lives.

Whitley Bay High Schools Bronze Duke of Edinburgh students undertook their first ever expedition travelling from Simonburn to Stonehaugh over the weekend of 6th 7th of May. For many, this was the first time navigating using only a map and compass as well as carrying everything they needed for their 2 day trip on their backs. All groups faced a range of terrain from farm tracks to the open countryside of Northumberland National Park. After their first full day of walking, all students had to pitch their own tents, cook their own food and spend a night under canvas. Despite a chilly night, everyone awoke ready for their final day of walking putting their map reading skills to the test once again. All of the groups worked together and although being a little tired, all students successfully navigated themselves back to Simonburn, completing their practise expedition. Changes to the School Day 2. The Governing Body has agreed to consult with parents on some relatively small changes to the organisation of the school day, to take effect from September 2. We will also be consulting with students after the Easter Holiday but this letter provides you with an opportunity to discuss the proposal with your daughterson. A recent survey tells us that we currently have a significantly later finish than most secondary schools in not only North Tyneside but in the North East generally. Whilst the proposed changes outlined below are individually relatively modest, we believe that cumulatively they will bring certain benefits Increase student participation in after school enrichment activities. Allow students to have a gap before participating in their evening study or other activities. Outdoor clubs will be disrupted less by the winter evenings. Sports fixtures can continue during the winter months. Students will have more time to conduct independent learning in the approach to exams or other high pressure points in the school year. Many Sixth Form students who have part time employment after school can have additional study time before they start this work. As the exam season approaches we put on breakfast and after school revision sessions. This currently makes it a very long day for students. Younger students can return home in relatively light conditions during the winter. Students who have younger siblings will be able to assist in collection and care arrangements. For our staff this means that time will be structured more purposefully to assist them with lesson planning and assessment and to enable them to continue to offer a range of extracurricular clubs and enrichment activities alongside additional subject support. Our proposal would be to start school at the same time, but finish at the new time of 3. The 2. 0 minute adjustment would be acquired from 5 minutes at break, making this 1. Period 4 is currently 5 minutes longer than all other lessons as it was historically used as a second tutorial. This is no longer the case and students are registered in lesson during period 4. We are aware that many students use local amenities during lunchtime, but we believe that 5. We are also discussing with North Tyneside Catering Services the potential to increase service capacity during break and lunchtime to allow more students to stay onsite for lunch, should they choose to do so. Staff also fed back that our lunch time clubs will not be impacted by this small reduction in time. The tables below outline the current school day and our new proposed school day. Your Big C and Me.

Students were given a special access tour of Parliament from our local MP Alan Campbell where they watched a live debate from the public gallery and asked questions with a member of the shadow treasury. Students then went onto visit the London Eye and the Bank of England in what was an action packed and thoroughly enjoyable day. New York City.

The itinerary was packed with a trip up the Empire State building as soon as we touched down at JFK Friday saw a trip to Queens to the Museum of Moving Image, then The Metropolitan Museum of Art for the art students and Madison Square gardens for the Media students. The groups reunited at the Hard Rock Cafe before going to see The School of Rock on Broadway. Saturday, the Art students visited the world famous Chelsea market, while the Media students went to NBC studios at the Rockefeller centre, and the home of the worlds biggest media company, Comcast. After shopping on 5th avenue, we reconvened at the Museum of Modern Art for a feast of Goya, Picasso, Dali and Pollock. From there, we watched the sun set while we skated in Central Park followed by people watching at Times Square. On Sunday, we made our way to Bowling Green where we jumped on the ferry to Ellis Island, via Liberty Island, home to the statue of Liberty. We walked back up through the financial centre of Wall street, up toward the 91. We headed into mid town and Washington Square where the street performers and bohemian shops sparked interest, before heading back to Times square for the final bit of souvenir shopping. Our final day, Monday, we took the subway from Grand Central Station to the Museum of Natural History, before returning to the hostel to collect our bags, check out and make our way to the airport for the night flight back to the UK.
