Psychology Brain Day

 On Thursday Clevedon Sixth Form were delighted to welcome Dr Guy Sutton from the University of Nottingham.

Dr Sutton spent the day with Clevedon's Year 12 Psychology students to support their studies and provide invaluable knowledge of the brain.

Dr Sutton then continued into the evening with a further presentation to parents and students relating to how issues such as social media and drugs effect the brain and peoples' ability to concentrate and learn.

It was a fascinating experience and both students and parents were extremely impressed by Dr Sutton's enthusiasm, passion for his subject and knowledge.

North Somerset Sixth Form Student Leadership Conference

 

Seven schools from across North Somerset met at Clevedon School Sixth Form to discuss and plan their future shared student community and social goals and vision. Each school was represented by members of their sixth form student leadership teams and were initially given the opportunity to listen to Tim Downe, British Rowing Coach, who discussed his experiences of team work, communication, leadership and resilience. Tim also highlighted young role models in the field of environmental awareness and sustainability. This led to the student leaders discussing their own projects and initiatives related to their specific schools and how to improve their future communities.  

 

The conference culminated with each school identifying a project to lead and develop over the next two terms before reconvening in October to assess their success and share the positive outcomes. Projects included developing the concept of an Environmental Week, to showcase how to support our environment, recycling and Life Skills training. It was an extremely positive and successful afternoon from which the student leaders were able to share some fantastic ideas and develop a sense of unity amongst the schools.

To finish off Term 5 Year 12 took to the field to compete in the Inter House Tug o War event. Having completed the inter house competition, which Conygar dominated, students decided to have a Boys vs Girls version. This was a very one sided contest with the girls thrashing the boys. However, the boys gained a small consolation by winning at the subsequent game of rounders.
