Year 10 students put something back into the community by helping to tame the Southwick station community garden: we got rid of the bindweed that was covering all of the fences, removed a fair few stinging nettles (mainly without getting stung!), whitewashed some of the walls, and even managed to water the tomato plants! Later, we walked to the RNLI lifeboat station at Shoreham and found out about the brave volunteers and the work that they do, learnt about what the different flags on the beaches tell us, and walked around the lifeboat stationed there.

Chicago! We started the day in the drama room practicing some scenes and playing instruments, this is when we all started to get very excited for the trip as Mr Hogarth put on the opening scene ‘ and all the jazz’. We got the train to Eastbourne and we ate our lunch on the beach, we got brutally battered by seagulls, had a paddle and got an ice cream. Jayden was also on the hunt for the perfect skimming rock and finally found one.
We then walked to the theatre and got some snacks ready for the show. Our favourite characters was Roxie, Velma and Jessica. We finshed the trip with a cookie from subway ( in Zachs case, 12!!) and made it back to Shoreham college. What a day!

What a joyful gathering in the Lewis Hall, where we welcomed our AGE UK guests to an afternoon tea filled with entertainment and companionship. Pupils led a delightful programme featuring a quiz, a few rounds of bingo, and truly fantastic musical performances from our singers and band. The hall was filled with smiles, laughter, and even a few happy tears, as our guests were made to feel loved and valued. It was a heartwarming occasion, and a true reflection of the compassion, creativity, and maturity of our Year 9 students. You did yourselves proud – well done!

What a fantastic day at Hove Lagoon! Pupils were given the opportunity to try out kayak Polo, raft building and sailing in the glorious sunshine. All who attended had a fabulous day and are looking forward to day 2. #EnrichmentWeek
There aren't many places you can play a gold shot through a stream, play trampoline basketball, and hang from a belay in the same day! At Out of Bounds the Y7 and Y8 students started on the Adventure Golf, where there were many wet balls, and all kinds of tunnels and pathways to wind your shot around. Some hole-in-ones did happen, but there were some balls that just would not go in! The Adventure Nets afforded all kinds of different exercise, such as yoga balls, slides, and even a game of Basketball up in the air! Clip and Climb was a bit scary, but lots of them really pushed through the fear barrier to scale new heights and conquer multiple buoys and other novel terrains. Tenpin Bowling is always a winner, and was a great finishing activity, and the only drawback was no room for staff to play. Lots of tired pupils, after a great day in the sun.
We started with a fantastic acting workshop delivered by an actress from the Royal Shakespeare Company. This mix of Y7 and Y8 pupils were incredibly inventive and even developed an alternative ending to the play. In the afternoon, Matilda was a great show full of exciting songs, brilliant choreography and wonderful acting. Everyone was really impressed by how talented the young cast were. #EnrichmentWeek
