There are two competitions, detailed below: Competition A - Select a country to support throughout the World Cup (drawn randomly during your assembly). Monitor their progress and follow your team on the World Cup Wall. World Cup Final takes place Sunday 13th July. Competition B - For your selected country create a display about your country. Make it both creative and informative. The displays must be ready by Friday 13th June ready for judging.

The day as a huge success and together we managed to raise a grand total of £1025.44! To get a four figure sum is an absolutely outstanding achievement and I would like to formally express my thanks to everyone involved; all of our students, my Year 11 team, staff and parents as we simply could not have done this without us all pulling together so impressively as a community. I feel it really does show what a superb community spirit we have when we all come together with a common purpose. I would especially like to mention 11CLF who raised the most money as a tutor group and Philip Guyan of 11ACR who had his head shaved and donated the hair to charity and managed to raise £170! After much careful thought we decided to split the money between three very worthwhile causes that are close to our hearts as a Year 11 team. 40% of the money will go to BIBIC, 30% to Bluebell Wood hospice and 30% to the Leukaemia and Lymphoma Research Fund. Links to the charities chosen are below together with some photos from the day itself. http://www.bibic.org.uk/ http://www.bluebellwood.org/ http://leukaemialymphomaresearch.org.uk/ I would also like to take this opportunity to formally thank my Year group for raising even more money for Bluebell Wood through their blue themed non-uniform day for Faye Nickels yesterday, together with a further £130 through donation of their Vivo points. Many thanks again to everyone for their ongoing support. I am a very proud Head of Year! Mr A. Mankin Head of Year 11 No Comments » by C Knowland + Campsmount Florida Netball Tour 2014 May 3, 2014 in Campsmount School Sports Co-ordinator, Enrichment, Front Page News, Parents, Students by C Knowland After over 2 years of planning the Campsmount Florida Netball Tour departed on Thursday 10th April for what proved to be a fantastic 8 days. After all of the hard work of the last few years, it was evident from the onset that this was going to be a truly magical tour and the girls were going to have a trip of their lifetimes. We made our way down to Heathrow Airport with our brill driver Richard who loved our special CD and was very pleased his favourite song Wrecking Ball was on there to play over and over again for him until we safely arrived at Terminal 5. From here we departed on our British Airways Jumbo Jet bound for Miami. Once touched down in Miami and safely through customs we met up with Allister who was to look after us for the next 3 days whilst staying in Fort Lauderdale. Allister and Tanya were fantastic tour reps and they thoroughly looked after us during our stay, taking us to our Netball fixtures and excursions that we had during this time. We visited South Beach in Miami and had a trip to the Everglades to hold some baby Alligators. Unfortunately the competition we had in Miami was really tough and the girls were unable to secure a win, however the competitive squad came close in their second game, only losing by 6 points. I don’t think the girls though will forget the fantastic time they had on the “Party Bus” transferring to their games, I am sure Miss O’Grady and Mrs Knowland’s renditions of some classics on there are ones they will never forget ☺ We then travelled down to Orlando to enjoy the sunshine even more and have three amazing days at Universal Islands of Adventure, Wet ‘n’ Wild and Disney’s Hollywood Studios. Throughout the whole tour all of the girls that attended were an absolute credit to Campsmount. I am sure they will all agree that this is something they will never forget and they had an awesome time. This is my last tour that I will organise at Campsmount and I would like to say that I will sadly miss everyone who has helped these tours happen over the last few years and thank everyone that has helped me give these amazing opportunities to our students. Enjoy the short video of some fantastic memories we all now have. Mrs C.Knowland (Campsmount School Sports Coordinator/PE Teacher) No Comments » by C Knowland + Festivals Update 2014 May 3, 2014 in Campsmount School Sports Co-ordinator, Festivals and Competitions, Front Page News, Parents, Staff, Students by C Knowland Since September 2014 in the first two terms, we have been running the regular festivals for the Campsmount Pyramid. This has included again teaming up with the Don Valley Pyramid to give our students more access and opportunity to greater competition. These include sports ranging from Football, Netball, Sportshall Athletics and Dance (As part of the Eurovision Dance Contest). Both the Football and Netball Festivals took place at Campsmount and were run with the assistance of the Sports Leaders from the Campsmount Leadership Academy. Askern Spa put out a great performance against Bentley High Street in the Football Festival, however their opponents were too strong for them in the final and they lost and gained silver medal position. Then in the Netball Festival both Norton Juniors and Askern Spa put out a great display of Netball, demonstrating some fantastic teamwork. Norton Juniors even had the opportunity to enter two teams due to how successful the club had been prior to the festival and their A team ended up finishing first in the festival to beat any of the schools from the Don Valley Pyramid. In the Sportshall Festival Kirk Smeaton were the winners from our Pyramid who displayed a great effort, representing our Pyramid and they came away champions. We were highly commended on their level of Athletics and the sportsmanship, which this school had displayed in the whole competition, so this is really pleasing for all staff and students involved. We now have our final term to look forward to the last few festivals of the year, these being Kwik Cricket and Rounders. I am confident based on the fantastic display of sporting ability already this year, that there will be more amazing work to be demonstrated from all of our feeder schools. Mrs C.Knowland (PE Teacher/School Sports Coordinator) No Comments » by Mr Fletcher + Chris-P, Chip, OXO and Dougie April 28, 2014 in Community, Extra Curricular Activities, Front Page News, Students by Mr Fletcher After a wonderful easter holiday fortnight living with Miss Peet and a few days with Y10 student Georgia Smith all of the ducklings are happy and excited to be back in school! Still learning the tricks of the Duck trade, although now proficient in swimming, preening and running around, the ducklings are well on their way to being fully fledged ducks. Yes, that makes them the duck equivalent of teenagers! Chris-P is by far the largest (yet only a week older than his brothers and sisters) and is starting to lose his down coat and form real feathers. Oxo, Chip and Dougie are all doing well too, giving back what their bigger brother gives in the pecking department. They are getting acclimatised to their new surroundings for a few days before being open to the school public again. So please bear with us while we make them as comfortable as possible. Normal visiting hours will resume on Wednesday (30th April) Lunchtime After 1pm.

Doug (Named by K.Sayles) hatched over night (9/10/14) and Chip (Named by G.Smith) is breaking through his shell as I type. Updates later today Campsmount Science No Comments » by Mr King + Rock Challenge 2014 April 8, 2014 in Extra Curricular Activities, Front Page News, Students, Uncategorized by Mr King The Global Rock Challenge Say What!!!!!! 3rd Place Campsmount Academy The premise of the Rock Challenge is that each school puts together an 8-min dance and drama production on a theme of their choice set to a soundtrack of commercially available music. Over the course of months/weeks schools create their production and finally bring it to an event day held at a professional venue where they spend the day rehearsing and preparing for an evening show where parents, peers, community members, and invited guests attend. During the evening, a panel of judges give feedback and also scores each piece based on criteria. The core message of the Rock Challenge is to show young people how they can achieve a ‘natural high’ on life. Campsmount’s event was on the 2nd April in Bradford at St Georges Hall. We arrived at around 10am as we entered the building we were set upon by a conga line created by the other schools, this eventually lead into the morning production meeting were all schools are to come into the main auditorium and have fun, dancing alongside the other schools to popular music and copy the Rock challenge team that are on stage All schools are encouraged to support the other schools while they are doing a Technical rehearsal as it is not always possible for performing schools to watch the evening performance. It shows what can and will be achieved in future performances. After our technical rehearsal at around 3.50pm there was an evening production meeting were the Rock Challenge staff ask all school staff to get upon stage and perform for their students Mrs Taylor and Miss Hiorns went up on stage to perform the likes of ‘Gangnam Style’ and ‘What does the fox say’, along with an air guitar competition, At this point Mr Broad was nowhere to be seen he was lucky. By the time this had finished all students from all performing school had to go to their dressing rooms to get ready for the evening performance. The day was a blast with an amazing ending the school Won 3rd place out of the seven schools that competed. To be placed in the competition is very hard as many school take it very seriously and have competed for 10-12 years or more, but to be a new school and coming 3rd is a massive achievement. The school also won the following 5 awards, these awards are given if you have a score of 8 or more out of 10 in the category. Achievement of excellence in Drama Achievement of excellence in soundtrack Achievement of excellence in Costuming Character Achievement of excellence in Entertainment Achievement of excellence in Concept Massive congratulations to all involved in Rock challenge you have made the school proud. Hade’s was content being God of the underworld until he learned that Brother Zeus had a beautiful daughter called Persephone that resided on Earth. Hade’s said to Zeus ‘She will be my wife for all eternity or Earth will be destroyed’. Panic sets in. Demeter the Harvest goddess, Persephone’s mother is devastated and tries to help, what will Persephone decide? Rock Challenge 2014 from Campsmount on Vimeo.
