A NEWS UPDATE FROM
OSWALD HOUSE! 18 JUNE 2021
Design a Lorry competition - Page 3
Oswald students representing the house and getting
involved and I was extremely impressed with some of the
performances on show. Stand out performers for Oswald
were Lucas and Madison (7 Stevens) for their amazing
batting and fielding skills. I look forward to hearing the
overall outcome following completion of the events for
other year groups.
There are many different house events on offer across
this half term, so I hope to see us working hard to pick
up as many points as possible. There is currently a Year
7 River Model making competition underway and for
Year 8 students they have the opportunity to design a
Lorry for Aldi. Find more details of these on your Google
Classroom pages.
We still have lots of clubs available for students to get
involved in. Remember the nights for extracurricular
sports clubs are as follows;

Dear Oswald House,
I very much hope that you are all well as we enter the final half term of the academic year. As we move
towards the final few weeks of the year, it is an opportunity to reflect on the academic year as a whole.
Of course it goes without saying that this academic year has brought many challenges for us all. I must
say though that my lasting memory of this year will be how you have all reacted and dealt with these
challenges in such a mature way. Equal to this is how we have worked together as a community to support
each other. As we continue to return to more normal ways of academy life, I am pleased to see so many
of you contributing to house events, for example the Euro 2020 door decorating competition. With much
more to come over the next few weeks, such as Sports Days, it is sure to be a busy and exciting end to
the academic year. I look forwards to seeing you all continue to excel both in your lessons and in wider
curricular activities in the coming weeks.

SURFING TO SUCCESS
Surfing might not be the first thing you think of as a vital life skill, but as a way to stay
fit, enjoy the great outdoors, and develop strength and coordination, it has a lot to
offer. It is also an incredible way to build confidence and two of our Year 9 students
have discovered all of this as part of the Wave Project this term. Scarlet (9 Wadsworth)
and Joanna (9 Fox) have been fortunate to learn to surf at Tynemouth Longsands with an
expert instructor and personal mentors – all free of charge thanks to funding for ‘surf
therapy’. The girls completed a 6 week course and showed commitment by attending
every session on time and giving their all to the experience. They summed it up this
way:
“I personally think surfing has really helped me feel calmer and my confidence has
increased too.”
“I think surfing has really helped me with my anxiety.”
We want to express our thanks to Mel Thomas of the Wave Project and all her
volunteers. Should you wish your daughter to be considered for the project next term,
they accept girls who will be in Year 9 or 10 in September. Please contact Mrs C Park via
Reception for more information.

COMPETITION WINNERS
We were delighted to have a visit from ex student Corporal Mckenzie from the
Royal Logistics Corps who put many of our year 10 and 11 students through their
paces in military drill and combat sessions. Student engagement was excellent and
their marching on the yard was a joy to behold. Healthy Living Week has seen a
wide range of activities with a real highlight being the bike ride to Bebside enjoyed
by 18 students. Weather was kind and a good pace was kept by all. We have also
been visited by Becky Smith who plays for the GB Roundnet team and introduced
