The School Website
Some of you may well be aware that at the
beginning of this term we re-launched the
school website. We felt that it was a little tired
and in need of a complete overhaul and revamp.
With a new banner, graphics, dynamic
content and colour scheme based on the school
colours, we feel the website now has a fresh
feel which reflects our character here at
Challney.
Even though the introduction of our VLE
(Virtual Learning Environment) in the Autumn
Term will primarily deal with teaching and
learning within the school, the website is still
very important as it presents the public face of
Challney High School for Girls and will be one
of the first points of contact for many of you.
Key dates and latest news are on the
homepage. Inside the site there are email links
to the school and important policy documents
regarding topics such as uniform and discipline.
There are even archived electronic versions of
Challney News so you will never miss out.
It is still early days. If you would like to
email us with any suggestions for content and
how we can make the website useful to you,
then use the suggestions form on the ‘contact
us’ page on the web site and let us know.
We have lots of plans to develop the website
further, including enabling access from your
mobile, developing the calendar to include all
relevant and important dates and providing
more online resources which pupils can access
from home.

Healthy Schools
On Wednesday 4 th July a section of the Grace
Gospel Choir performed beautifully at Stopsley
Baptist Church as we received our Healthy
Schools status. We can all be very proud of
how well the girls of this school represent us at
external events.
Girls’ magazine
WOW! The interest in this has certainly taken
us by surprise. Thanks to all our budding
journalists, we have a difficult task ahead to
select two pupils from each year to form the
editorial committee. To this end, all the girls
who expressed an interest in joining the team
were asked to complete an application form
telling us why they wanted to be part of this
new venture and what skills and experience
they could offer. This did not deter the die-hard
journalists amongst them and we had a very
good response.
As the time of going to press, we have got as
far as shortlisting and holding interviews. Good
luck to all the candidates.
Science extra…
There once was an atom of fluorine,
That wished it was really chlorine,
It got a reaction,
And changed a fraction,
But now it’s become quite borine!

Jenny, finding life a bore,
Drank some H2SO4.
Jenny's father, an MD
Gave her CaCO3.
Now she's neutralized, it's true,
But she's full of CO2.

Q: What is the difference between
chemistry and cooking?
A: In chemistry you should never lick the
spoon.
