Christmas Charities

St. Angela’s students have worked very hard in the run up to the Christmas Holidays to raise money for various charitable causes that they themselves selected.

This year the girls including the sixth form and the staff of the school raised an amazing £6,355.55 to be divided among the following charities:

Well done to all – as ever a true reflection of Serviam in helping those in need.

Year 13 Presentation Evening

On Tuesday night St Angela’s hosted the Year 13 Presentation evening (a celebration event for last year’s A-Level & BTEC cohort). The guest speaker was ‘The Apprentice’ winner Tim Campbell a former graduate of St. Angela’s & St. Bonaventure’s Sixth Form Centre.

Tim is an entrepreneurial businessman who since winning The Apprentice has gone on to found his own entrepreneurial social enterprise Bright Ideas Trust, a charitable organisation which encourages young budding entrepreneurs from disadvantaged backgrounds to start business ventures. He is a Cabinet Office Social Enterprise Ambassador and a Child Ambassador for London. It was a real honour to hear Tim’s inspirational talk to our former students who have just completed their first term away at universities all around the country and to give awards to many of the students for their successes last year ranging from exam success to their work in the community.

My thanks to all who braved the cold to attend and we wish you all every success with your degree level studies over the next three years.

RE Ofsted Inspection: Section 48

On Tuesday 2nd February 2010 inspectors on behalf of the Diocese of Brentwood came to the school for the day to judge not only the quality of the provision of the Religious Education at the school but also our provision for the spiritual, moral and social development of St. Angela’s girls. I am very pleased to inform you that the inspectors found St. Angela’s outstanding under every single category of their inspection.

I would like to thank publically Mr Paul McCarthy and his RE department (Miss Vasilliou, Miss Kerridge, Miss Afonso and Miss Buonocore) for their outstanding work in the school and particular thanks to the student body, who as ever shone so well in reflecting the spirit of Serviam within the school.

St. Angela’s Book Week

The Book Week is a week set aside for staff and students to celebrate our love of reading and books in fun ways, and hopefully inspire those who are not great lovers of books.

A number of activities took place in the TLC and around the school during the week; book fair, book tombola, “Body in the Library” murder mystery, guess which literary character is coming to dinner, Chinese calligraphy, creating MFL miniature books and writing international poetry.

We were very lucky to have the children’s author Echo Freer visit the school and talk to students in years 7 to 9. The students enjoyed hearing about the many books she has written.

As part of our World Book Day celebrations the TLC held a lunch time Book Quiz as well as a very enjoyable session where the whole school dropped pens and bunsen burners and everyone read.

For everyone, the highlight of Book Week is Book Character Day when staff and students come to school dressed as a character from a book. Pictures from this day and other events throughout the week can be seen below.

Business best!

by KAY ATWAL and LEE PEART (from the Stratford & Newham Express)

Budding entrepreneurs at two Forest Gate schools have won a business prize. Sixth form pupils from St. Angela's and St. Bonaventure's won the Best Company Report award at the Young Enterprise Company Programme awards at Credit Suisse in Canary Wharf.

Karen McWalter, business studies teacher and senior tutor at St. Angela's, said: "I am extremely proud of what the students have achieved. They showed great dedication and learnt a lot of skills that will be useful in the future and hopefully help them become budding entrepreneurs."

The Young Enterprise Programme is a charity-run scheme that aims to develop business skills. Running over an academic year, the project gives young people practical experience of business by teaching them how to set up their own company.

Pupils learn how to raise money to fund their business, and design and make a product or service to sell to the public.

They elected a board, raised share capital, marketed their brand and found finances.

The pupils, who formed a company called 6th Sense, created a book that offers advice to children on how to cope with bullying at school.

Shanice Asare, 17, managing director of 6th Sense, said the team raised more than £100 through doughnut sales and a school fashion show to pay for the book's production, The pupils now intend to sell their book directly to secondary schools.
