drwho200This event was held at the Dis­cov­ery Park, Sand­wich and involved a com­bi­na­tion of busi­nesses (from robot­ics to hir­ing a rein­deer), uni­ver­si­ti­ties, pub­lic ser­vices and prac­ti­cal work­shops. We took a group of Year nine stu­dents in the morn­ing and Year 10 in the after­noon and I am sure that it will have opened their eyes to the career and edu­ca­tional pos­si­bil­i­ties avail­able to them. The pic­ture shows year 10 pupils out­side a ‘Dr Who’ type stall.

‘Musi­cal mad’ stu­dents from across the year groups had the oppor­tu­nity to see Sam Mendes’ lav­ish pro­duc­tion of Char­lie and the Choco­late Fac­tory at the The­atre Royal Drury Lane.

The larger than life show with stun­ning sets and visual spe­cial effects cost in excess of 4 mil­lion to make and fin­ished with Char­lie and Willy Wonka rid­ing high above the audi­ence in a stun­ning glass elevator.

Pupils thor­oughly enjoyed the expe­ri­ence and although we arrived back at almost mid­night every­one agreed it was one of the best shows ever seen!

The next musi­cal the­atre trip will be to see Can­ter­bury Operatic’s pro­duc­tion of Sweeney Todd at The Mar­lowe the­atre where yours truly will be appear­ing on stage! More details to fol­low soon.

On the 26th Octo­ber, 12 juniors took part in a 24 hour Ten­nis marathon at Mar­gate Lawn Ten­nis club. The money raised goes towards the Club’s facil­i­ties and equip­ment to enhance the play­ing stan­dard and improve the abil­ity of the Club’s younger mem­bers. The event was car­ried out through­out the entire night from 10am till 10am the next day, in chal­leng­ing weather con­di­tions, tor­ren­tial rain and strong wind The weather did not affect the event, as the par­tic­i­pants car­ried on through­out the night, keen to raise the money to help younger play­ers reach their poten­tial. Over £1000 was raised.
The fol­low­ing juniors from King Ethel­bert took part; Reece Mab­ber­ley, Paul Maxwell, Jake Cop­per, Kieran Duck­worth, Ben Mor­ris and Ayo Owoborode. Well done Boys!

King Ethel­bert stu­dents, staff, par­ents and car­ers, spe­cial guests and friends of the school cel­e­brated both indi­vid­ual and col­lec­tive suc­cesses at King Ethel­bert School’s annual Pre­sen­ta­tion After­noon, held at the Win­ter Gar­dens on Wednes­day 20th Novem­ber. The school was cel­e­brat­ing its record break­ing GCSE results in the sum­mer, when 54% of stu­dents gained 5A*-C grades includ­ing Eng­lish and Maths; the best results of all Thanet high schools. Prizes also reflected huge suc­cess for the School’s first cohort of Year 13 stu­dents who achieved out­stand­ing results in the IBCC in the sum­mer. The pro­ceed­ings were ably opened by Head Boy, Gre­gory Nocen­tini, with the Head Girl, Charli Nichol­son deliv­er­ing a heart­felt vote of thanks at the end. The after­noon included musi­cal per­for­mances from stu­dents across the school, as well as speeches, includ­ing guest speaker Mr. Matt Hayes, an ex stu­dent and now a suc­cess­ful archi­tect involved in many projects within the edu­ca­tion sector.

mov200pxOn the 6th Novem­ber 2013 the whole of year 9 went on a trip to the Mar­lowe The­atre to watch a Shake­speare pro­duc­tion of The Mer­chant of Venice. The play was very inter­est­ing and the lan­guage was well spo­ken. Although the stage was small they used the space very well and made it look big­ger. Also the spe­cial effects like the blood and fake eye being pulled out looked very real­sitic! In the play the actors were all men to coin­cide with the Shake­speare theme, as women weren’t allowed to act in shake­spearean times. We had been ana­lyz­ing the play in our Eng­lish lessons learn­ing about the lan­guage and the his­tory in those days
