Curriculum Leader PGL Trip- Osmington Bay 

On Friday the 16th September Year 10 and 11 Curriculum Leaders went on a PGL trip to Osmington Bay, Weymouth for the weekend. This trip was to develop leadership and team working skills, to show inspiration and motivation in the chosen subject and to give Curriculum Leaders the opportunity to plan and work in cross curricula teams.
On the trip we were given the opportunity to challenge ourselves in many activities we would had not tried before. We did activities such as aero ball, trapeze, quad biking, rock climbing, fencing and high and low level ropes. Being a year 11 Curriculum Leader I was able to support and motivate some year 10’s, and pass on my experience of already being a Curriculum leader the previous year. 

I think the trip gave us the chance to bond with people within our groups who shared the same passion and enthusiasm for that particular subject, as well as mixing and socialising with a variety of people who I wouldn’t normally get the chance to at Chalfonts. 

This is my second time of going on the PGL trip and both times I have not only found it challenging but also great fun! I would definitely recommend this to younger students, who would like to become a Curriculum leader to improve their leadership skills, creativity and personal development.

Fencing teacher Jaqueline Faulkner  wrote,

"Yesterday's fencing competition went well! Micheal, Georgina and Simon all did very well. I know that all three of them worked hard throughout the event and put in a lot of effort, and I was hoping that you would pass on my congratulations to them all.They were involved in judging as well as fencing.

Spelling Bee Win

On the 4^th May 2011, four year seven students represented the Chalfonts Community College in the local heats of The Times National Spelling Bee Competition at Cineworld, Staples Corner, London. They competed against  eight other schools and their outstanding performance won them first  place. This was testament to their rigorous training sessions over the past four months. As a result of this, they are in the semi – final. Parents were in full support and shared in this proud moment. According to one of the team members, ‘this is the best day of my life and I would do it all over again.’
