Springhill High School

Congratulations to the pupils who performed at the Town Hall on the Friday before half term to help launch the virtual arts academy. One group performed a speech/ drama piece, whilst another group sang and danced to 'Jai Ho'. The day was extremely pleasurable as well as a great opportunity for pupils to perform in front of so many from the field of education and the council.

A group of pupils went to see the popular musical Joseph at the Palace Theatre, Manchester. What was particularly fantastic was the lead role of Benjamin was performed by one of our ex pupils Kevin Grogan. Kevin came into school before the show to talk about how he went from Springhill to starring in a hit musical. Thank you and well done to Kevin.

Advance warning that the Annual Guinness World Record day will be on Thursday 12 November. Any ideas what Ms Taylor will decide the event will be this year?

Mr Taylor from the Technology Department is now looking for Year 7 & 8 pupils (Girls and Boys) to enrol as members for the STEM club. The first project that we will be looking at will be building roller coasters and modelling tracks from kits, there will also be a Lego League competition to take place at the beginning of December. The Stem club will run on a Monday evening after school, and additional evenings for the Lego league. If you are interested please contact Mr Taylor as the places will be limited.

Recently the following pupils were selected to take part in a young Ambassadors Sports Leaders Award and they enjoyed a training day on coaching and refereeing young pupils.
