Autumn Term—Issue 12 Friday 7th December 2018

Dear Parents/Guardians, One of the symbols of Christmas is a star. We are told that a star guided the Wise Men to Bethlehem to visit the baby Jesus. We may decorate our Christmas Trees with a star at the top, and stars are seen in countless displays at this time of year. The star has been a source of guidance from as far back as we know. Sailors used the stars to help them keep their ships on course. Duke of Edinburgh participants are shown how to find the North Star to guide them in the right direction if they get lost whilst out camping or hiking. Stars hold a sense of mystery. Living in a city it is sometimes hard to see the stars at night but if you are lucky to see a sky full of stars it can cause you to pause, to be quiet and to wonder. God put each one of those stars in space.

How can we do this? If you look closely at a picture of the star you will see that it has a long point heading down to the ground, symbolising our roots in the earth, in other words this is where we live. The top point is heading to the sky to God and showing our dependence and faith in him. The other two large points are facing outwards and symbolise the cross on which Jesus died for each and every one of us. That leaves the four smaller points and they symbolise you and me. They face out to all corners of the world and invite us to show God’s love to all whom we meet. This Christmas let us use the star to remember that we must share the love that came down on that first Christmas Day in the stable in Bethlehem. Christmas is a very busy time both in school and at home and one of the ways we can show that Christmas love is to be as helpful and as willing as we can be to all. It made me very happy to see this in the tea dance this week. I thank you in advance for all your contributions with hampers, Christmas Tree presents and raffle tickets. Have a good weekend. Mr R Lansiquot Deputy Headteacher

God put each one of those stars in space. ‘God determines the number of the stars; he gives to all of them their names.’ (Psalm 147) We are also told to ‘shine like stars in the world.’ (Philippians 2)

OXFORD UNIVERSITY VISIT WITH SACRED HEART PUPILS,

ST THOMAS THE APOSTLE AND THE LIMINALITY GROUP (TLG)

On Friday, Mr Middleton and I took 9 students from St Thomas the Apostle and Sacred Heart to Oxford University.

The pupils had been attending a 6-week programme with TLG, hosted by Andrez Harriott, whose aims are to raise the aspirations of young people by challenging their thought processes, beliefs and attitudes in order to promote attitudinal and behavioural change.

The pupils were given a tour around the University by students from similar backgrounds. It was rewarding to see pupils take such an interest in the programme and come to the realisation that opportunities such as this are there for the taking, regardless of where you come from or your back-ground . It is up to individuals to make the change.

Former student—Richard Riakporhe, professional cruiserweight boxer, visits Sacred Heart School …

Professional cruiserweight boxer, Richard Riakporhe, returned to his former school Sacred Heart in Camberwell last week with the WBA intercontinental belt that he won on 11 November, following a dramatic 8th round TKO victory against Sam Hyde in Manchester. The 28-year-old Riakporhe is now unbeaten in 8 professional bouts, with 7 wins via stoppage.

As part of Sacred Heart’s Wellbeing Week for 6th form students, Richard spoke in assembly about his own journey into boxing, and how the sport has improved his own physical and mental well-being. He also spoke of the importance of students ignoring negative influences and seeking to become positive members of society.

5

Richard then led a Boxercise class for the entire 6th form in the school PE centre, demon-strating some of the techniques that have helped make him one of the country leading prospects in the 200lbs weight division. Afterwards, a group of keen boxers from the 6th Form then had the opportunity to speak to Richard one-on-one, and be put through their paces in a smaller boxing class. “I was really humbled to be able to come in and encourage and hopefully inspire the youth of Sacred Heart School. I think it’s really important that a positive agenda needs to be pushed out to young people so we can help change lives, inspire youngsters and create more champions of the future. I’ve said before, on numerous occasions, that I needed more positive role models when I was growing up, so I feel this is my calling to do this now, as well as be successful in the sport of boxing. I want to motivate and inspire young people and affect the generations to come in positive ways.”

Looking ahead to the next stage in his career Riakporhe said: “My plan for the next 12 months is to win more titles. Whoever has the belts – I’m coming for them - plain and simple!”

On Monday 3rd December Sacred Heart hosted a working group with the Holocaust Education Trust, former government ministers and Year 11 Historians to discuss their views on the importance of the new Holocaust memorial that is to be planned in 2022 near the Houses of Parliament in London. The aim of the memorial and learning centre is to memorialise what happened in the Holocaust, to remind people that it could happen again and the importance of us as individuals, schools and communities to combat discrimination, prejudice and racism in all its forms. The session was recorded for the BBC and broad-casted on Tuesday 4th December on the Today Programme on Radio 4, and on BBC Breakfast on BBC1 with interviews and discussions being chaired by BBC news reporter and The Today Programme presenter Nick Robinson. The session was led by the History Department to highlight the consultation of the planned proposal to the public, and to ask the students for their feedback on the importance of memorials, but also their views on the proposal.

Our students were privileged to listen to the personal testimony of a Holocaust survivor, Hannah Lewis, a Polish Jew whose mother and extended family were murdered during World War Two. They also took part in a question and answer session and spoke intensively with the politicians who were extremely impressed by our students, their under-standing the topic, their confidence and intelligence and the thought provoking answers in what was an extremely interesting and focused session.

Sixth Form Politics students were also given the opportunity to have a question and answer session with both Eric Pickles and Ed Balls regarding their views and experience as government ministers for both the Labour and Conservative administrations.

We look forward to welcoming Hannah Lewis and the Holocaust Education Trust back to Sacred Heart in the spring term to work with our Year 9 students.

‘Being part of the discussion around the memorials with the politicians made me think about how antisemitism still affects communities today and how it is important that we all work together to stop from happening. The memorial will be a reminder of the suffering that people went through in the past due to their religion and hopefully will educate people so we don’t see it happening again today.’ - Brian

Sacred Heart School World War One Centenary Commemoration

Sacred Heart School marked the centenary of the end of World War I on the 11th November 2018 with several special activities and events across the school which started on Monday 5th November 2018. Our aim was that students would end the week having developed a deep respect for the scale of sacrifice and destruction of World War I, and an appreciation of its immense historical significance. We also hoped that this wide range of activities would be engaging, memorable and thought-provoking for our students. What the students received was a fantastic array of activities in all their subjects bringing together a cross-curricular understanding of the war. Each year group had an assembly focused on the importance of remembrance led by the History Department, and each form designed their own memorial for an individual from Camberwell who served in World War 1. Students across KS3 and KS4 took part in a WWI ‘Did you know?’ treasure hunt where they had to answer questions on fascinating facts from WWI, finding the clues displayed all over the school. Furthermore, a wonderful memorial display was put on display in the main hall for all students to see and reflect on, featuring poppy wreaths designed by the Art Department and produced by Year 10 and 11 form groups. This memorial was beautifully added to when the whole school commemorated our nation’s war dead.

The Last Post was played, a prayer was shared and two minutes’ silence was observed, after which miniature crosses made in Technology lessons were added to the display, each engraved with the name, date and number killed in one of the countless wars across the globe. We have also been able to raise money for the Royal Legion Poppy Appeal with the sale of poppies that many of our students and staff proudly wore over the past few weeks.

PE: students were taught to march and complete fitness tests that WW1 recruits would have been subject to when signing up.

Geography: students were taught the importance of WWI in shaping the national borders of

Europe and the destruction of four key empires as a result of the fighting, The Ottoman, Russia Austro-Hungarian and German Empires as well as the founding of new countries such as Poland and Czechoslovakia.

Maths: students were investigating the position of troops and pay positions

Computing: They learnt about the development of coding and communication

Technology: students designed and created their own memorial crosses, and graphics students were able to develop graphic memorials of the Great War

Music: students composed their own marching music linked to the armed forces and memorial

Drama: students used their acting and empathy sills to re-enact life in the trenches

MFL: Students looked at the impact of World War 1 on France and Spain

History: investigated ways that World War I changed the world

English: Year 7 were reading the World War I novel ‘Private Peaceful’ and students had a debate

on conscientious objectors. Y8 and 9 explored the ideas in 'Flanders Field'.

Religious Studies: students focused on the concept of reconciliation after such a catastrophic war

Food Technology: Made trench cake

Other examples of activities that our students took part in include:

Year 7 Workshop with Private Parsons

On Tuesday 6th November, our class went over the church hall to meet Private Parsons, a man

performing the role of a WWI soldier. He explained about his uniform and talked us through his

weapons and his experience in the trenches. We asked a lot of questions and learned so much

about what it was like to fight in the trenches in WWI. I really enjoyed the session and felt like I

could understand what it must have been like for the soldiers in WWI.

On Friday 9th November, Year 8 students took part

in a memorial and reconciliation service with other

local school children at Southwark Cathedral. This

was a very thought provoking and moving service

promoting reconciliation and peace in our local

communities, and in the wider world, as a reflec-

tion of the events 100 years ago. Students enjoyed

the poetry, music, singing and readings and

pledged what they would do to make a difference

in the world. These pledges were later tied on to

the gates of Southwark Cathedral as a token of

public awareness of their endeavours.

Year 8 Trip to Southwark Cathedral

“During the service, we were all able to engage by writing down how we could

change for the better. We sang songs. The whole point of the service was to be able to

reflect on those who died for us in war. I thought it was really inspirational and an

honour to be able to represent my school and community amongst so many other schools

from Southwark“.

Efe Obahor —8M

Here are some photos of the Year 8s in Drama using still images to explore the lives of the soldiers. They wrote some reflections

based on their work which were touching and

insightful.

Sacred Heart School World War One Centenary Commemoration

Pupils made trench cake as part of WW1 commemoration week in Food Tech. Trench cake was a traditional cake often sent by families to soldiers in the trenches during the First World War. The British government released an official recipe for a cake, that could be made at home and sent to the war battlefields to cheer up the soldiers. The cake recipe did not require any butter or eggs; those were in shortage during the hard years of the wartime. The cake had that homey-fruity-cinnamon-y taste that reminded sons and brothers, who served on the front line, about their families, who patiently waited on their safe return home. Even after the WWI, the cake recipe did not lose its popularity. It was passed down from

grandmothers to daughters to granddaughters.

Sacred Heart World War I Remembrance Week in Food Tech

Making Trench Cake

“I learned about trench cake and that during WW1 there was rationing which meant that certain foods were in short supply, such as margarine, milk and eggs. Also, for the people that lived in the trenches it was a horrible, sad place and they wanted to be reminded about home and that’s why trench cake was invented. It helped the soldiers think of home. I enjoyed making trench cake because we had to use other units of measurement for this traditional recipe which had oz. instead of grams.” Arinze Egesi 9P

“I learnt from this Food Tech lesson that people’s

food was rationed at the end of WW1. They were

not able to eat enough nutritious food they needed

because there was a shortage of farmers and horses

to work on the farms and make enough food for the

nation.

We found out that trench cake was that they used

things like raisins in trench cake because they lasted

a long time and didn’t go off quickly. This meant

they could make cakes to send to their loved ones in

the trenches.”

Symone Efunnuga 9T

We would like to thank our amazing staff

and students at Sacred Heart for all their

efforts, enthusiasm and hard work to

ensure that a successful Commemoration of

WW1.

Teachers and students are under an infinite amount of stress, both exhausting multiple methods to accomplish an individual goal. It is easy to become quickly overwhelmed and sensitive to matters that accumulate pre-existing stress. At times, it may feel like one side is the victim and the other the abuser. However, this is a mere myth, the reality being that both teacher and student are victims of an educational system which continues to exert masses of pressure. Thus, it is important to be united and acknowledge that it is something that needs to be combatted together. Teachers experience monumental amounts of stress, at home with bills to pay and families to support, as well as the drive to push their students to achieve their full potential. Likewise, students experience stress from the pressure to aspire to their families’ and teachers’ expectations. The chain is never ending and instead of taking it out on one another, it needs to be made aware that we are all in this together.

It is all too easy to forget what it was like to be seventeen years old, and for students, it is hard to imagine what it is like to be a working adult. However, by seeing through each other’s eyes, it will come to realisation that we are not all that different. Seeing one other as the enemy does more damage than good, and in light of Well-Being week, both teachers and students need to take into consideration one another’s well-being, as well as their own.

Respect, empathy and genuine care about one another’s wellbeing is the key to a healthy student and teacher relationship. Perhaps if teachers made students more aware of their stress and concerns (within professional limits) students would be able to see the humanity of their teachers, something that is blurred with their position of authority. As a result, students would be able to appreciate the similarity of the teacher and student stress, respecting their struggle. This would encourage students to voice their own problems without fear of belittlement or misunderstanding. Both teacher and student should not be afraid to voice their concerns. Taking this all into consideration, it is fundamental to recognize the importance of a strong teacher and student relationship. It is the first step to achieving peace and harmony, not only within yourself, but also within the school community.

APPRENTICESHIPS and RAISING ASPIRATIONS INFORMATION

With apprenticeships offered everywhere from Jaguar, Land Rover and Mercedes Benz, to the BBC and MI5, in fields as wide-ranging as cyber security and aeronautical engineering, digital marketing and journalism, you can be sure there’s one to suit your child’s career ambitions. One of the biggest attractions of an apprenticeship is to ‘earn while you learn’. The

minimum wage for apprentices is set to £3.30 per hour. However, there are

opportunities in a range of sectors that pay as much as £300 a week – and

employers pay more if it means attracting the right learner. Apprentices will also gain

a pay increase as they progress through the apprenticeship levels and widen their

skillset.

BASKETBALL

On Friday 30th November, the U14 squad went down to Dulwich College to compete for the Southwark Championship. Sacred Heart were drawn in a group with Harris Boys, COLA & Kingsdale. In their first game they defeated COLA 15-106—this was followed by a tight loss against Harris Boys 9-8. This meant Sacred Heart had to win against Kingsdale but they lost crashing out in the group stage. There were spirited performances from the boys and they are already looking forward to their next fixture.

A special mention to John Serele who was singled out by one of the national league referees for his excellent sportsmanship. He was the only student at the event that shook her hand before and after every game and thanked her for refereeing. Well done John!!!!

Tuesday 27th November Year 7 Football Tournament Our 2 teams were excited to play their first tournament. Team A won, and drew their games and game second in the group on goal difference. Team B drew and lost a game but still put them through to the quarter finals. It was a close 14 minutes but both teams couldn’t get past the defence so it went down to penalties. The keeper guessed right each time so the teams were unable to progress to the next stages but they learnt a lot about sport and the wonderful game of Football— Mme Mullens

Almost 2,000 schools, colleges and youth organisations throughout London and Essex run the Jack Petchey Foundation Achievement Award Scheme, which contributes millions of pounds each year. The scheme is a reward and recognition initia-tive which enables schools and youth organisations to

celebrate the achievements of their young people as well as receive additional funding. Sacred Heart School participates in the scheme - a student is nominated monthly and they receive £250 to spend towards an initiative that impacts them and others in the school. The award winners this term have been: September: Abigail Temesegen in Year 7. Abigail was nominated by the Year 7 pastoral team for

making an exceptional start to the year— by the 26th of September, Abigail had been awarded 46 good mentions (in just 3 weeks, an amazing accomplishment!). The money will go towards this term’s achievement trip to the cinema.

October: Alex Correira in Year 7. Alex was nominated by Mrs Barton and the Craft Club for always

attending the club and producing excellent work. The money will go towards buying materials for the craft club.

November: Memunat Bakare in Year 13. Memunat was nominated by the student leadership team

for her hard work with them. This year we had our first ever sixth form well-being week with a real focus on mindfulness and mental health - Memunat was integral in running this. The money went towards the cost of hiring a yoga teacher. The students also did origami and enjoyed an afternoon tea together!

Well done to everyone - let’s see who will be nominated next term! Ms. Antoniou JP Coordinator
