Chace Community School

Hot off the press is this copy of 'Mini Sagas' which includes a fabulous mini story created by our own talented Year 8 author.

Our Rotary Young Chef proudly presents his delicious mouth watering and attractive dish ready for the competition.

Thank you to everyone who supported our own clothes day to raise funds for the victims of the Haiti earthquake. We have raised £2150 so far with more sponsor money to come in to add to this total.

Congratulations to A level art students who won a YAVE competition to design a poster advertising a support group for young people entitled Lifeline.

As part of Story Telling Week 2010 our Learning Resource Centre team invited year 7 and 8 students to develop stories from beginnings composed by our Writers & Rhymers Club. Classes worked in groups to devise their own endings and then picked their favourite to be illustrated by the very talented artist and illustrator, Ms A O'Connor. The results - some wonderful imaginative work - are on display in the LRC and on the notice board just outside.

Congratulations to Year 11s - working hard in their mock exams and determined to be EVEN BETTER in their GCSE exams.

This year 72 students in Year 11 were presented with aspirational ties because they exceeded their predicted grades in 6 or more subjects in GCSE mock exams. Congratulations to these students who rose to the challenge and exceeded expectation as they prepare for their final exams.

Congratulations to Chace's confident, articulate Speak Out Challenge winner, seen here impressing judges and the audience at the regional final on 27th January. Local MPs were impressed with the quality of the performances ' ….I am sure we have heard some future leaders in the making!’ (David Burrowes MP Enfield Southgate)
‘Clearly the Challenge brought out the very best in the students both in terms of content and presentation – totally engaging' (Joan Ryan MP Enfield North)

At this weekly after school club students are supported by Mrs Florence, who gives her time so generously as a volunteer, to help Chace students learning English as an additional language to build their skills and confidence.
Mrs Florence's dedication and commitment are appreciated as she supports these determined and hard working students TO BE THE BEST THEY CAN BE.

Thank you to all the staff, students, parents and governors for your commitment and support throughout 2009 which was a very successful year for Chace - the best yet - BUT TOGETHER WE CAN MAKE 2010 EVEN BETTER.
A very happy, peaceful 2010 to all members of Chace community.
We return to successful learning on Monday 4th January at 10.30am.
