The<br />
Heathrow Community Trust awarded a<br />
grant to DJ Workshops CIC to work with<br />
local schools through the Heathrow Communities for<br />
Youth fund in the Heathrow area for one year. <strong>Cranford</strong><br />
Community College was lucky enough to be included<br />
in this programme which took place on a Wednesday<br />
afternoon throughout the summer term in WFactor.<br />
Students from year 9 were selected by the Head of<br />
Music and their Head of Year to take part . The project<br />
is for young people to learn how to Dj over a term<br />
and gain the Bronze Arts Award. The students learnt<br />
all aspects of DJ Mixing to include counting beats,<br />
beat matching, mixing different styles of music and<br />
making a Mix CD at the end of the course. The students<br />
commented on how much they had enjoyed using all<br />
the equipment that was supplied for the workshops.<br />
As well as the main decks there were workstations<br />
which meant that students could practise and listen to<br />
music all at the same time. All the students produced<br />
a folder of written work detailing what they had learnt<br />
and photos of them “dj-ing” as evidence. They also<br />
reviewed a film of MC-ing, researched a musical artist<br />
and taught others the skills of what they learnt. The<br />
students worked individually and in groups for the<br />
arts award assignments. All the students who took part<br />
completed the course and successfully passed their<br />
Bronze Arts Award.<br />
Julie Sacre who was the lead tutor for the workshops<br />
funded by The Heathrow Community Trust is looking<br />
forward to coming back next term and working with<br />
more students from the school.<br />

Year 10 - “Eager Beavers” Work Experience <strong>2014</strong><br />
Our<br />
eager beavers from the Business and Enterprise group ventured out into the world of work in March<br />
<strong>2014</strong>. After a few weeks of preparation with Ms Patel where they researched their employers, found out<br />
what their roles would be and completed the dreaded ordeal of the interview – away they<br />
went. Placements were in a variety of settings including High Street shops, Hounslow<br />
Urban Farm, an estate agents and a restaurant. Nagaad Maxamed Abdi, Hussain Khan,<br />
Toofan Barakzai and Calvin Kaganda experienced what it is like in the retail business<br />
and found out that it is hard work standing up all day. Mohamed Osman Ayub worked<br />
in a pharmacy and was responsible for delivering prescriptions to GP surgeries. Stacey<br />
Kitney was able to put into practice the hairdressing skills she is learning at college.<br />
Manvir Randhawa worked with his uncle selling houses while Pardeep Singh donned<br />
some overalls and fixed cars. Yasmina Zaman and Lewis Loveridge worked in school<br />
helping caretakers while Paras Poudel learned some cooking (and no doubt tasting)<br />
skills and Dean Quelch was kept very busy looking after the animals.<br />
Everyone had a successful week and showed responsibility and maturity in their work.<br />
Something they can build on and develop further in year 11.<br />
