Some more Results!

Here are some more results, but unfortunately, they are not very good for Driscoll! Last place in BOTH events! If we are to stand any chance of winning this competition and getting some amazing prizes, we really need to get involved!

There are a few more events occurring before the final results are announced in 10 weeks time, and there is still a chance that we may win this thing! Get involved and good luck!

Swimming Gala

Well done to all Driscoll students that entered the swimming gala! Both events were fantastic with some students achieving amazing times! Results will be posted soon. Lets hope we win!!

And remember its Eco Fortnight this week so put your rubbish in one of the Driscoll bins either by block 9 or the block 3 doors. Also, there is a battery collection in the D@rt for any used or unwanted batteries!

ECO Fortnight 22nd April – 3rd May

During this fortnight there are many chances to win house points through ECO themed competitions. The following competitions are:

Battery Collection- During the two weeks of the ECO fortnight each tutor group will be able to collect old batteries for their house. The batteries will be placed in your house collection box which will be in the Dart. The house with the most batteries at the end of ECO fortnight will win 400 house points.

Litter Challenge- In the Piazza the bins will be coloured to correspond with the houses. At the end of each day the amount of rubbish collected by each house will be judged and the house that has collected the most rubbish will win 400 house points.

As well as all this we are running SWITCH IT OFF fortnight.

This is where members of the ECO committee will go around classes during breaktimes and lunchtimes checking for lights, projectors etc that have been left on. This is important as the more we switch off the more energy we save! Did you know Wildern creates 60 Tonnes worth of CO₂ each year!

Thank you so much for supporting us

Wildern Championship Swimming Gala

Coming up on the 24th and 25th of April is the Wildern Championship swimming gala. It is a Gold event which will include every tutor group across the whole school. The gala is a chance for us to catch up with the other houses and to get to the top of the tables as each race is a gold event on its own so there are tons of points on offer.

In your tutors next week you will be asked to complete a form for the swimming gala. We require 2 boys and 2 girls as well as a boy and a girl reserve for the gala from each tutor group. The girls gala will be run on Wednesday 24th April and the boys gala will run on Thursday 25th April. Swimmers entering the gala must report to the sports hall at 2:45 on their day and the first race will begin at 3:00pm on the dot. Both events are scheduled to end at 4:00pm unless the races overrun.

There will be two races from each year group for the front crawl, breast stroke, back stroke, and relay, with points being awarded for both race winners and fastest competitors in each individual event across all year groups and genders.

Remember to speak to your tutors on Monday for any further details and to enter the competition. We will see you there!
