Following the feature in the last Springfield Bulletin, we are pleased to include (below and on the opposite page) further photos and comments from Miss Graham and the pupils involved in this very successful event.

During Textiles Club pupils have been learning more about sustainable design and becoming more aware about the impact the fashion industry has on the world.  To showcase the work that pupils had done during their after school club we decided to put on a Fashion Show.  All the year groups chose their themes and got to work in preparation for the big night.

Year 10 pupils recently had the chance to benefit from the help of over thirty professionals on their Focus Day in June.  Each pupil had the support of various health professionals covering issues such as:  drugs, alcohol and sexual health.  They (and pupils at our feeder schools) also took part in an online health related learning questionnaire.  Local pupils from Years 2, 4, 8 and 10 have, therefore, taken part in this survey which is being facilitated by Exeter University.  The results will be fed back next academic year.

The pupils were also met and given a practice interview by one of a team of over twenty IBM employees.  Each pupil was given feedback on how well they did and this is to be kept in their Springfield Passport.  The visitors were impressed by the manners of the pupils and how well they engaged in the events of the day.  Well done to all.
