Duke of Edinburgh

Bronze Award Expedition.

Sept 19th-20th

Chalfont St Giles was the location of our student's DofE Bronze Award Expedition.

Just 20 miles north of central London but a whole world away in looks, land usage and architecture, this area just on the edge of the Chiltern hills gave our explorers plenty to navigate using their maps.

Planning and then successfully following a map route of their own design is just one part of this 2 day and one night expedition. 

They also have to carry everything they are going to need, including their tents, bedding, spare clothing and food, whilst also undertaking smaller side quests as they hike along!

Overseen and kept safe by our DofE  Supervisor Mr J Benstead and staff volunteers Mr Theodoulou, Mr Patterson, Ms Snyder and Ms Gilbertson, it all went very well, was very enjoyable and certainly character building.

"I never thought I would be able to do that!"

For those who now feel like they want to be challenged a bit more, the tougher and longer Duke of Edinburgh Silver Award is their next step.

And for those Canons students who'd like to give this highly respected awards scheme a go, our next round of Bronze award activities is already being organised. 

Speak with Mr J Benstead for more information.

Macmillan Cancer Support Coffee Morning

Sept 27th

Homemade cake was in abundance that Friday at break as we supported the annual Macmillan Coffee Morning.

Mr Barrett's Beetroot Chocolate cake was judged by our Food Teachers as the best submission, with Ms Haghighi's Lemon Victoria Sponge in second place and Mrs Mann's Truffle Choco in third.

But the real winners were the amazing 'Macmillan Cancer Support' charity, for whom we raised over

£680.

Huge thanks to everyone but special huge thanks to Mrs E Mann for all the organising, setting-up, crocheted toys and general running around that made this such a successful and enjoyable event. You're great.

RESPECT -

A Vital Part of Being Great!

Sept 30th

Mr Ben Wardle has just moved up with the year group he nurtured and managed last academic year, so he is now the Head of Year 9.

And he started of their new year together with an assembly about Respect and how it is part of his GREAT scheme, which he is passionate about.

As Mr Wardle would say, anyone can be GREAT and almost certainly, everyone should be GREAT.

The elements of GREAT stand for...

G - Give it 100%. Whatever you are doing.

R - Respect yourself and respect others.

E - Engage Positively with a confident and resilient attitude.

A - Arrive On Time, demonstrating good manners and an understanding of the importance of attendance.

T - Take Full Responsibility for your actions and decisions. You are the master of your destiny.

A fabulous and inspirational start to the year.
