Year 11 Drama students had a fantastic time at the very first show of the Theatre Royal’s Aladdin. Students were able to enjoy the show and see their learning come to life. For their GCSE students study the traditional British genre of pantomime, watching the show they were able to see the devices used to make it a truely unique form of theatre.
All of the students had a great time and really enjoyed the show.
Students Helen and her younger brother Arthur are raising money for the sixth year in a row in support of the RNLI.
The are doing a “musical advent calendar” (posting a video of them playing a Christmas song each day). The duo have already raised in excess of £13000 over the past few years and aim to raise another £2000 this year.
To support Helen and Arthur you can follow and donate, if you can, across a number of channels:
Just Giving https://www.justgiving.
Students and staff have given generousy over this week, in the spitit of Christmas. We had a fantastic collection for Wansbeck Valley Foodbank and were overwhelemed by the volume of donations.
This continued with our annual Christmas Jumper non-uniform day on Thursday 19 December. Students enjoyed a festive lunch and raised over £400 for Save the Children. Donations can still be made via MCAS.
Year 9 School Council members organised their very own bake sale; the students coordinated volunteers from across the year group to bake, donate and sell cakes. The Year 9 students raised over £100 for their nominated charity; Christian Aid.
The RE department took 38 students to Durham Cathedral on Wednesday 18 December. The students were welcomed into the Cathedral and had the opportunity to explore a major place of Christian worship and pilgrimage, learning about the story of St Cuthbert and the origins of Christianity in the North-East, as well as seeing the practices they have been learning about including attending the service. A really good and valuable day for all involved.
We would like to thank all of the students, staff and parents that have donated to the Wansbeck Food Bank this year. Food poverty continues to be a significant challenge for so many in our community and these donations will help to support those that need it most this Christmas.
Year 11 student Helen and her younger brother Arthur who is in Year 9 both love the water and are keen sailors and are raising money again this year for the RNLI.
Over the years they have raised over £10,000 for the R.N.L.I., by busking and in the last 4 years by their musical advent calendars.
Last year it raised over £2700 for the RNLI, and they would love to smash their record this year. In return, each day they will be uploading a musical performance, and hopefully spread some Christmas Cheer. Please see their Just Giving page if you wish to donate.
Headteacher Clare Savage commented “It is great to see this pair in musical action again. We are so proud of these hugely talented students. They have set their target to £2000 which would take their total fundraising for the RNLI to £12,000 ”
Join our Music students for a evening of fun and festivities with the annual KEVI Christmas Cracker on Friday 13 December.
The annual Carol Service will take place on Tuesday 17 December 2024 7.00pm to 8.30pm at St James Church, Morpeth
KEVI students supported the Morpeth Rotary Club at the Morpeth Christmas Light Switch On during Saturday 16 November. The students volunteered their time to dress up in the Rotary Club mascot costumes. The money raised will go towards the Mayor’s Charity, which this year is the Oswin Project. The Rotarians who escorted them around the crowds in their costumes were very impressed with their conduct.
Several sttudents also supported the event playing in the Ellington Colliery Band.
