December 2007 - Littleover Community School

With my silver award, I felt that I had achieved a greater challenge andit made me look forward to moving onto the next stage, which is thegold award. People may feel that walking in the countryside is the mostimportant feature of the award, but I felt that working as a team to planout the routes and doing individual duties throughout the year, pushedme to try harder and it gave me a desire to make sure that I succeededin completing the award. The silver expedition was exciting, butvaluable at the same time and by completing it, I feel that it will give mea good foundation for life skills that I will need to have in the future.By Arnold Gangaidzo - Year 11Pupil“Mono-Poly" - a devised performance by Year 13s was presented to aninvited audience on Monday November 26th & Tuesday 27th.
