On Wednesday, 9 May Sackville student Andrew Rigg, found himself in the London where he represented Sussex schools, officiating as a swimming judge at the UK school games. Andrew is pictured here, 'poolside', taking a short break from his official duties. 'Amazing' is the word Andrew used to best describe the experience.
On Thursday, 10 May, at 19:00, Sackville hosted its first annual film festival to showcase the work of year 12 and year 13 media studies students. Whilst Miss Rees did not roll out the red carpet this year and the paparazzi were not out there in hoards, we do expect this to be the case next year as we saw some really amazing work. The students should be very proud of what they have achieved, in some cases after just one year of study.
The Sackville 70s Reunion was a huge success, with over 400 exstudents visiting the afternoon reunion and a similar number for the evening 70s disco. Current Sackville students volunteered as school tour guides and worked tirelessly all afternoon showing people round the school.
Year 11 do not have their exams until after the June half term. To cope with the gap between study leave and the exams we have set up two revision days: on Thursday, 31 May (for sets 3-6) and Friday, 15 June (for sets 1 and 2). Students have already been asked to bring a reply slip for these but any parent who thinks their child has not returned a slip or who requires more information can contact me at the address below.
