6 th Form Classics Trip to Greece – April 2010
The lead up to the trip was fraught with worries of BA strikes, Greek air space strikes and the general economic
situation in Greece. However, we were blessed by all the Greek gods and were granted an extremely smooth
journey there and back.
We started off our trip in Delphi, home of the Delphic oracle and the temple of Apollo, where Greeks would
travel to from far and wide to consult the priestess to find out what they should do in different situations. We
brought our own priestess, Angharad, who prophesised that the food we would have for lunch would be “many
coloured.” We ended up having pizza for lunch, so in fact she was quite accurate! The light at this site was absolutely
stunning, quite appropriate since Apollo is the god of light.
We then went on to our next destination, the site of the sanctuary of Zeus at Olympia. Here we ran in the Ancient
Olympic stadium and saw the statue bases where statues would have been placed of those who cheated
at the games, as a reminder to others not to cheat. We were in the stadium when it was totally empty, so we
could soak up the atmosphere without hoards of other tourists. We wandered around the sanctuary at our
own pace in small groups and got slightly lost among all the ruins.
Our journey then moved on to Tolon. We visited two sites, the theatre of Epidaurus and the palace of Agamemnon
at Mycenae. At Epidaurus we had the opportunity to perform a scene from the Greek Tragedy,
Medea. We would have made the Performing Arts Department proud! The acting and musical talent that St.
Marylebone is known for, came out and we made use of the theatre’s excellent acoustics by standing in the
middle of the stage.
We then went to the palace of Agamemnon at Mycenae, and Florinda read the
Watchman’s speech from the beginning of Aeschylus’ Agamemnon, which was
set in the palace, and we stood at the place where he would have sat, waiting
10 years for his master to come home. We also tried to guess which room in
the palace we thought that Agamemnon might have been murdered in by his
wife, Clytemnestra.
After Mycenae, we had a few hours of retail therapy and relaxation in a small
Venetian town called Nafplion. Here we also had the most amazing ice-cream
from a tiny Italian gelateria tucked away off the main square, with a huge selection
of delicious flavours.

6 th Form Trip to Greece – April 2010
Our day ended that evening with some Greek dancing at another
local hotel, demonstrated and taught to us by two Greek
waiters. One of the dances that they did involved dancing inside
a ring of fire and we were all terrified they were going to
burn themselves. But luckily it ended with both of them unharmed.
We all had a chance to get up and dance and master
the six basic steps, to varying degrees of success. It was fun,
but rather daunting.
The final day was an early rise and a long coach journey to
Athens, where we would see our final site of the trip, the
Acropolis and the new Acropolis Museum. It was quite a
culture shock being in Athens, since we had been in small villages
and towns for the last few days, and trying to battle our
way through other school groups, men selling tourist tat and
plastic jelly tomatoes was rather testing. But we survived, and
then, having had a rushed lunch in about 2 minutes, since the
service in the local cafes was rather slow, got the coach to the
airport to catch the plane back home.
We were blessed with lovely weather throughout and it was a
fun, enjoyable, packed trip and we would like to thank Miss
Camp and all the teachers for organising the trip.

St Marylebone Mock General Election
5th May 2010
Congratulations to Year 8 students who worked extremely hard over the last month to prepare for the St
Marylebone mock election on the 5 th May.
Each of the five Year 8 Citizenship classes campaigned on behalf of a political party: Labour, Conservative, Liberal Democrats,
Green and UKIP. Each class voted for a representative and then divided into four groups working on: the manifesto,
campaign publicity, press releases and speech writing. Poster and leaflets appeared around the school and notice boards
along the Humanities corridor became covered with campaign material collected from the parties and produced by students.
Question and Answer Session with our local Green Candidate
At lunchtime on Friday 30 th April we were lucky to hear from Dr Derek
Chase, Green Party Candidate for Cities of London and Westminster. We
were delighted with the interest that students from other years showed
and the interesting and well-informed questions that the students asked.

and Westminster with representatives from the 5 parties
that contested our election
Holding a hustings
On Tuesday 4 th May we held a hustings event at lunchtime and each of
the representatives from the five parties spoke for two minutes. Isis Menteth
Wheelwright, Judith Musoni, Honor Cooper Hodges, Paige Lockwood,
Janan Ahmed all deserve special mention for their outstanding
public speaking.

Election Day!
After all this preparation finally Election Day
dawned and the poling station opened at break and
lunchtime in the playground. Turnout was pleasing
with almost half of Year 7-11 voting. Special praise
goes to 8D with a record turnout of 89%!
It was a very close race but the results of the St
Marylebone School mock election were: UKIP 18,
Conservatives 31, Green 40, Labour 106, and Liberal
Democrats 106.

On Thursday the 25 th of March, all four Year 7 forms took
part in the annual and highly successful Charity Challenge
fair.
Each form ran three stalls to raise money
for their particular charity. These focussed
on food, fundraising games and advocacy.
The prices had to be suitable and
the food had to be healthy.
The games stall had to have fun games
that were sure to entertain and have exciting
prices but we weren’t allowed to have
sweets as prizes! The advocacy stalls had
to have leaflets about the chosen charities.
Overall, the day was lots of fun and we
were proud of the contributions we
made to our charities.

Citizenship & PSHE Department
Each group responsible for Press and Publicity wrote thank you letters
to organisations that had assisted their campaign.
Dear Anti-Slavery International
(7W’s charity)
We are very appreciative for the leaflets,
brochures, bookmarks and posters
you send us. The Charity Challenge
was a huge success and we raised a
colossal amount of money. Thanks for
your help.
The leaflets disappeared quickly and teachers and pupils were very attracted to the postcards and
booklets. The teachers sat reading them peacefully.
We also made our own literature inspired by the Anti-Slavery International logo. It was an enjoyable
experience and we are all very proud of our hard work. One of our team members, Ruby, even made
a PowerPoint presentation dedicated to Anti-Slavery. Another team member, Jessica, spent hours of
her time making her own leaflets that were very striking and eye-catching. Neila and I made our own
posters focussing on all kinds of slavery across the world and asking how we would react if we ever
had to endure this kind of horror and pain.
I would also like to ask: ‘Why is it that Britain believes it banned slavery in 1807 whilst doing very little to
stop the accelerating trafficking and sale of young people from Eastern Europe, Africa and Asia everyday
in the UK for the purposes of exploitation?

Farewell messages from your Head Girl Team of 2009/10
To Dickens House
To Barrett House
Hello all you wonderful Barrett people!! Or
rather, goodbye! This has been a wonderful
year, and I want to thank each of you for
everything you've done over the year to
contribute to each charity and house event.
I want to especially thank the Barrett team -
all the form and vice captains - for all our
super-contributive and fun House meetings
and for your willingness to take part and attend.
You've helped to make this year enjoyable
for me, so thank you! I hope that you
will all keep the Barrett spirit going for years
to come! Go Barrett!
Anne Barlow Barrett House Captain
Dear Wesley House
It is very surprising to find myself writing an end
of year note after what only feels like a few
weeks of being your house captain! But it is
the end of the year, and your newly elected
captain, Emma, is ready to take on the role. I
have been very lucky to have had the opportunity
to work with such a talented and genuinely
caring house and I hope that you have
all enjoyed the year. I wish you all the best of
luck for the future and want to say huge
thanks for all the hard work that so many of
you have invested. Good luck with any upcoming
exams you may have and thank you
for making my job as house captain so much
fun. W definitely have the most interesting set
of personalities I’ve ever come across and it
has been so much fun to work with some of
them, so never change.
All the Best
Verity Richards Wesley House Captain
Dear Dickensians,
I have really enjoyed being your House Captain
– we have definitely given the other
forms a run for their money (though of course
the result is not yet near its conclusion). For
some reason we have been especially good
at cake-making, which has, unsurprisingly,
caused me to put on a pound or two over
the course of the year.
A big thank you to all the Form and Vice
Captains – I couldn’t have asked for a more
enthusiastic team to work with!
I hope you feel proud of your achievements –
that is definitely the case for me. Continue
doing the best you can, all the best for the
future and continue sporting the yellow!
Hannah Grzeskiewicz Dickens House Captain
To Hardwick House
After being at St Marylebone for only four
terms I heard that I was to be head of Hardwick
House, and I must admit I was slightly
nervous; everyone said “what big expectations
to fulfil!” But most of all, I was excited to
continue what I was told was a legacy of
commitment and utter enthusiasm and now
I really feel we’ve really done this ‘legacy’
justice.
This year Hardwick have proven just how
powerful a force St Marylebone students
can be when each individual contributes
towards the team. Just look at the fantastic
enthusiasm with which we threw ourselves
into World Aids Day and the Haiti fundraisers,
not to mention the amazing dedication to
selling raffle tickets.Goodbye and thanks for
making it such an honour to be your Head of
House, and for the commitment and friendship
of all the form captains this year.
Best of luck to Milly for next year; I’m sure
she’ll be a great head of Hardwick!

A huge thank you and farewell to
our incredibly cheerful, enthusiastic, dependable,
busy Head Girl Team—Hannah
Robb, Cheyenne Green, Tyrone Lewis,
Mattie Thaddeus Johns, Verity Richards,
Anne Barlow , Hanna Grzeskiewicz &
Nafisa Sharif.
Without you the Haiti Fundraiser would
not have happened… helping the school
to raise a whopping £1541! You have also
provided events for all key stages and
been fantastic at making sure that your
voices have been heard via House and
School Council .
As a team you have been an absolute joy
to work with. We wish you good luck in
your exams and bright futures!
From Ms Ellis, Mr Jordand& the School
Council
Iqbal Gaddu Yr7 for being so supportive of others
when they were homesick on the Isle of Wight trip
and being a positive role model by being so polite to
everyone.
Daniel Blackman Yr13 for his enthusiastic and active
role at music events. He also runs the Gospel Choir for
younger years and was regular contributor to School
Council in Year 12.
Above: Our end of year School Council picnic…
in doors again due to rain!
The list of all nominees for the Autumn and Spring
Term is displayed on the notice board outside the staff
room and at Blandford site and will be publicised via
the weekly Student Bulletin that is sent to every student
(a brilliant idea from School Council last year!)
Someone recently asked me what the perks were of being Head Girl. I could tell
from the way they asked that they assumed I receive free lunches, or was allowed
to skip doing my homework sometimes. I realised that I couldn’t tell them any of
those things, firstly because they wouldn’t be true and secondly because being
Head Girl is so much more than that. I wanted to tell that person that perks is the
wrong word; the word I would use is honour.
It has been an honour to thank Kelly Holmes for her speech at prize-giving, it has
been an honour to help out the students and staff over the year, and it has truly
been an honour to be Head Girl at St Marylebone. I couldn’t think of any other
body of people that I’d rather represent than the girls at St Marylebone; the nutty
ones that will always say something in school council to make everyone laugh, or the quiet ones
that always bake the most cakes, or the talented ones that make up our church services and
school performances.
So in a truly cheesy fashion, I want to thank all of you at St Marylebone for what you’ve done for
me; the strange girl that turned up in Year 9 in an oversized blazer that was so quickly welcomed
and accepted into your community.

Jack Petchey Achievement Awards
Tri-borough presentation for 2008-2009
The Jack Petchey tri-borough ceremony was held on Monday 18th
January. The Jack Petchey schools winners from the borough s of
Kensington and Chelsea, Fulham and Hammersmith and Westminster
gathered at Kensington Great Hall to celebrate our achievements.
It was very exciting—the main hall was lit up with coloured
lights as the host arrived on stage. We were all very nervous but the
atmosphere was great, but parents and other guests celebrating
each others’ accomplishments with cheering and clapping made us
less tense. One by one the winners from each school stepped on
stage in front of hundreds, to collect their medallion from either one
of the mayors. We had our pictures taken with the Mayor of Westminster
and then went to sit back with our boxed medallions
proudly sitting on our laps. The evening was filled with performances, a wind band, Sax on Fire to Christina from
Phoenix High. It was inspiring to see the number of special needs children receiving their awards. I am so glad to be
able to give money to the school and to be able to improve our community resources. Rowena Clewlow, the Grants
Officer at JPF made an inspiring speech which really made me realise how little things can make such an impact on
our lives. My award has boosted confidence and is definitely my first step to a successful future.

COMMUNITY COHESION
Fifteen bilingual 6 th form students attended a two day
conference in January at the Hilton hotel, Green Park.
The conference focused on interpreting and teaching
English as a foreign language, and speakers included
representatives from Westminster University and International
House.
Since the conference, our talented and dedicated students
have been bringing great benefits to the community
by:
• interpreting at parents’ evenings at our own
school and in neighbouring primary schools
• assisting with English classes for parents
• delivering English classes in a neighbouring
primary school

'What happens when the oil runs out?'
Year 8 PLTS MFL Activity
This was the brief for the day. Learning to think outside the box, to find creative
solutions, to make something out of nothing. In honour of the fine German tradition
of recycling, Year 8 students were put into teams and given a black bag full
of rubbish salvaged the night before to sprinkle with their creative magic and turn
into red carpet fashion. Students waded through greasy Kebab boxes, exploded
yoghurts and sweet wrappers for that perfect texture.
The results, as you can see were stunning
Eastertide Eucharist
On Monday 29 th March we celebrated our Eastertide
Eucharist. Father Paul’s surprise guest, Treacle the donkey,
proved very popular and reminded us all of Jesus’
humility as he entered Jerusalem on Palm Sunday.

Year Nine Trip to Ypres
Year Nine Pupils Visit Historical WWI Site
On Friday 16th March, the History and English departments
took 60 Year Nine pupils to Ypres in Belgium. This
visit was a wonderful opportunity for pupils to enrich
their understanding of the curriculum through personal
experience.
Setting off from school at 5.45, pupils travelled to Folkstone
(cheered along the way by Mr. Voller, who taught
the coach a variety of WWI songs) where we took the
Eurostar to Calais. After driving into Ypres, our first stop
was at Sanctuary Wood Museum, where, as well as
many pictures and artefacts from the period, we were
able to explore preserved trenches, dugouts and communication
tunnels. This was a shockingly realistic (and
muddy!) insight into the reality of trench warfare.
Our next visit was to Caterpillar Crater, where we saw
the devastation that this huge explosion caused to the
natural environment.
This was followed by a visit to Tyne Cot Cemetery. To
see the rows and rows of graves belonging to Allied
Troops, and to read the messages they contained was
an extremely thought-provoking experience for staff
and pupils alike.
Pupils Explore the trenches at Sanctuary Wood
A haunting contrast to this came in our next visit,
which was to Langemark, where many German
Troops were buried. Pupils made many interesting
reflections of the difference in mood and atmosphere.
Before leaving for Calais, we made our penultimate
visit—to a Belgian chocolate shop, where
many delights were sampled and pupils recharged
their batteries ready for the journey home! Finally,
we visited the Menin Gate Memorial to the missing,
an awe-inspiring testament to those who lost
their lives in the war.
After a highly competitive quiz on the coach, pupils
arrived home tired but full of new understanding
of the history and poetry of World War One.
We look forward to next Year’s visit!
BSF Refurbishment of St. Marylebone School
Library and Bookshop
The school library was always a space with great potential; tucked away in the
basement, it was a cosy and atmospheric haven for everyone. However, there
was no denying it was in urgent need of a facelift!
The new Library Team, alongside the BSF contractors, started to reshape the
library in October 2009. Our vision was to create a light, airy and tranquil space
that would encourage both study and reading for pleasure. We wanted it to appeal
to all ages and to provide a stimulating environment for everyone.
We quizzed the incoming Year 7s at their induction last summer to find out what
they would change about the library that was. They suggested we make it bigger,
more colourful and lighter; they were also keen to introduce even more
books – we were happy to oblige! The library is now larger by a third, the walls
are a soothing powder blue, new lighting has been installed and brand new
shelving now accommodates over 500 new books, as well as the existing stock.
The new library has been greeted enthusiastically by students and staff alike.
Popular new features include the computer benches, beanbags, games tables
(where pupils can spend their break times playing Scrabble, Chess and
Draughts) and the new collection of bilingual books. As we turn our attention to
the Key Stage Five Library at Blandford Street, we look forward to making it just
as valuable and dynamic a resource.

Victory for St Marylebone Debaters!
On a grey Tuesday evening, 30th March, our Sixth Form debating
teams frantically prepared for the first ever Sixth Form Debate
Mate competition. After their excellent performances in the prestigious
SOAS competition, our debaters were keen to put their new
skills into practice.
In a gruelling first round on the economy, both of our teams scored
a victory. In the final, St Marylebone Team A debated on
the Conservative proposals for free schools and won a
second round. By the end of the evening, St Marylebone
Team A was declared the overall winner of the Sixth Form
Debate Mate competition! Many congratulations to
Debating Captain Stef Nazarian and her team, Harriet
Brandt and Priscilla Britton.
Meanwhile, the Upper School Debating teams were busy
preparing for the Richard Koch Competition, held on 23
April at the London School of Economics. Both of the
St Marylebone teams won three out of their four debates,
only narrowly missing out on the final. Congratulations to
all of the debaters! The next challenge for the teams is the
final round of the Urban Debate League heats, coming up
soon…
Macbeth
The victorious Sixth Form team!
Waiting for results at the Richard Koch Cup
Shakespeare’s Globe At last! A trip to an outdoor
Shakespeare production without rain! After our trip to
Twelfth Night in Regent’s Park, we were nervous when
accepting the tickets offered by the Globe. However, the offer was such that no selfrespecting
English teacher could refuse. Free tickets for all of Year 8 to see a production of Macbeth, their set
text, specially designed for Key Stage 3 students. Brilliant!
This is the first production at the Globe that we have taken Key Stage Three students to in recent years. It was
a superb opportunity for the girls to see a Shakespeare production in an original space. They even had seats, so
complaints were limited to the cold only!
The production was innovative and exciting. Thanes of Medieval Scotland were transposed to camouflaged
soldiers whizzing up and down ladders and zip wires. The witches’ apparitions made very inventive use of a
large piece of black material and managed to be sinister without lighting effects. The actors made full use of
the interactivity of the Globe space, appearing in the audience, processing through the pit and talking to the
groundlings. This trip provided an excellent overview of the play and was a ripe source of discussion in the
classroom afterwards.
This Globe project also has an excellent website with interviews with the actors and designers, and exploration
of the language and theatricality of Macbeth. See http://2010.playingshakespeare.org. Mrs Jeens

SALSA and TANGO DANCING
Year 7 and 8 had a delightful opportunity to take part in a one off salsa lesson with an experienced instructor Bella
earlier last term. This was the first opportunity for most of the girls to relish in the Argentinean and Spanish culture
of tango and salsa dancing. In partners, they learned key moves and styles. This experience helped the students
gain self-confidence and challenge themselves to try something new. It was clear from the students feedback during
the lesson and subsequent feedback that they thoroughly enjoyed their first time experience of dancing to
salsa. The dance instructor Bella, was wonderful as she was able to create a unique, fun, energetic learning experience
and brought the best out of the girls given the short time frame.
This unique opportunity showed that, dance as a cultural phenomenon, can introduce students to the musical and
cultural patterns typical of a target language, which in this case was Spanish. Therefore, having further classes such
as these would give those students who missed the opportunity to do so last time to join in.

Bridges to Africa
On Sunday 16 th May, 45 students,
along with a handful of teachers and
parents, walked 10K through London,
crossing ten bridges as they went.
We were raising money for the
charity PEAS (Promoting Equality in
African Schools) which builds schools
in Uganda with the aim of providing affordable, quality education.
We were lucky to avoid the rain and completed the walk in four hours.
Plenty of ice cream was consumed along the way and fun was had by
all!
