The Roseland Academy

Name the Gecko Competition!

We have a new female Leopard Gecko at the Roseland Community Farm!

She is yet to be named! We are open to suggestions and will create a final poll once the popular choices are submitted.

We also encourage students to make their tutors aware of any name ideas that they may have so they can be considered too!

Please drop your name suggestions in the comments below!

This week, in line with national events, we hosted our own 'Roseland Mock General Election'.

Tutor groups received a PowerPoint with photos of political party leaders showing who's who, with key aims and policies for each party.

Four members of each tutor group took on the challenge of representing each party by using the policy documents and creating their very own short speech which was delivered to their tutor group.

The results are as follows:

Thank you to all students for their participation and to Mr Underwood for supporting them throughout the process.

Our Youth Engagement Project Team held a cake sale on Monday and it was a huge hit with students and staff.

They raised over £100.00 which will go towards their own area to undertake peer mentoring sessions.

A special thank you to Year 7 students Chloe and Brendon for their amazing contributions.

The Year 11 BTec Animal Care group enjoyed a Christmas craft session today and created some lovely snowmen. Toffee, as always, was happy to help!

Everyone is warmly invited to our annual Roseland Christmas Celebration concert, which takes place here at the school on the evening of Thursday 19 December at 6.00pm.

This popular festive event will feature a wide variety of musical performances including our various school ensembles, choirs and a number of solo items. Seasonal refreshments will be served during the interval, and we will also be holding a Christmas raffle. Please note that this is a ticketed event, which we estimate will finish at 7.30pm.

Tickets for this event can be purchased in advance from the school Finance Office priced £3.00 per adult and £1.00 per child under 16 years (maximum three tickets per family) and any unsold tickets will be made available on the door on the night. Please note that seats will be offered on a first come, first serve basis, but please contact Miss Polley in advance if you require disabled access. The admission price includes refreshments, which will be served during the interval, free of charge.

Students performing in the concert will be notified of all the necessary arrangements in a letter to performers, but please contact Miss Polley if you have any further queries.

We do hope that you will be able to join us and look forward to seeing you at this festive event!
