Castle Hill Blog 26/04/24
We have had a wonderful week here at Castle Hill with another bundle of reasons to celebrate our fantastic school!
Let's Get Quizzical!
Oh what a brilliant night we had with beautiful decorations, exciting raffle prizes, mountains of delicious food and brain-busting questions! It was an absolute pleasure to welcome our lovely parents/carers and young people for an evening of fun. A massive thank you to everyone who made this night another epic memory on the events calendar. And even better we raised a very impressive £514.84...this was in part due to the exceptional generosity of our quiz winners '8S' who donated their prize back to school. Thank you!
Welly Walk
We raised an epic £1904.10!
Thankyou for your support. Remember, the money we raise subsidises all of our extra-curricular experiences including rewards and educational visits.
Let's Go Fly a Kite!
Look at these magnificent creations designed and enjoyed by Hub S.
Nurse Visit
Our KS4 nurture group had the privilege of welcoming a very special guest this week as part of work experience week. They were able to quiz and learn from nurse Tara Breslin (sister of our lovely Ciara Breslin) about the life and career experience of being a nurse.
Super Strategy
Craig is learning the power of 'hands on' strategy whilst building this impressive structure.
