Welcome to Attenborough House

 

This is a busy time of the year for Attenborough pupils as we prepare to say goodbye to the Year 11s and to welcome our new arrivals from Year 7.  To celebrate the passing of Year 11 from Swanmore College to their next step in their career path, we are holding a Dine and Dance session on Monday 17th May from 3pm to 5pm to teach pupils how to waltz, have some fun and eat some pizza.  The first dance at the prom is going to be a waltz, so hopefully we will have a cohort of graceful dancers to set the night off.

The current Year 11 are the first year to have gone completely through the House system and started in Attenborough House the same day as me, and it feels like only yesterday!


Our non uniform day made in excess of £1000 which means we have met our commitment to Stepping Stones Nigeria to make improvements to their ever expanding school.  Last year we equipped a science lab and paid for a science teacher’s salary for a year.  We are waiting to hear what they would like us to fund this year. 


Attenborough House have been asked to design a logo for the charity for pin badges to be sold nationally – this is a great honour and we will sell the badges within the College community as soon as they are available.  Well done to everyone in the House and the parents for their continual support of our community cohesion projects.

 

We are proud to have hosted a Streetreach initiative that resulted in a bright spray painted mural outside the PE block.  The pupils chose the logo ‘Turn it around’ to send out a positive message to their peers.  It is located outside the exam hall and will hopefully offer last minute encouragement to pupils heading in to sit their exams!

 

As summer approaches pupils uniforms are looking a little bit too customised.  Please make sure you follow the uniform rules especially hair tied back, blazers on, ties up and shirts tucked in and only one pair of stud earrings and one ring.  If girls are wearing skirts they should be no more than an inch above the knee.  Socks or tights must be worn with shoes.  Attenborough House prides itself in looking smart and behaving well; please make sure you are abiding by the College rules.

Thank you for continuing to be a successful and happy House; your tutors and I are delighted with you – keep it up.  Good luck to our Year 11s in their forthcoming exams; remember to study hard.

 

Mrs Barker
Director of Attenborough House

 



Streetreach Project


There has been an excellent response to the Streetreach Project which includes spray painting (see above) and film and music technology. The mural was led by Ben Weekes and Isaac Brown who showed total commitment to the project.

The message was to make pupils focus on a negative in their lives and work at turning it into a positive. They also felt the mural was well placed outside the exam hall. The pupils hope to gain a Bronze award from Trinity College in recognition of their work.
