"Due to the medical nature of the Venue, the Hunterian exhibits were very gory! There were foetuses in bottles, there were placentas, there were monkeys (which had also been preserved) wearing fierce facial expressions, there were feet with elephantitis and other gruesome diseases and a model of the world’s tallest man. These displays caused a great deal of debate and discussion about the role of science in society and the morality of art galleries.,2 said a statement on the school's website. "At the British Museum, many exhibits were themed according to geographical regions. We particularly enjoyed the exhibits in ‘Egypt’ and ‘Japan’ In Egypt, there was a definite focus on death and mortality where coffins, pharaohs, cats, knives and other ancient relics abounded. In Japan, a tea hut was displayed as a focal point and rituals around tea and the significance of colours like blue, white and pink were explored. We also looked at the elephant as a powerful cultural symbol." Eleven Year 8 students from Carshalton High School for Girls attended a trip to Crystal Palace Football Club as part of their CPFC Foundation Course.
The club day consisted of team building activities, a tour of the football stadium, a workshop on product differentiation and branding, and business related games included a fantasy football league challenge. The students interviewed the Chair of the Foundation, Mr Briggs. The Sutton High School Football Club returned this year, and the season culminated in a 7-a-side tournament featuring other GDST teams, organised by us and hosted at Streatham & Clapham High School.
The team was made up of mainly Year 8s and showed impressive talent and spirit from the first to the last minute. Respected TV presenter, architect and writer George Clarke from “Restoration Man” and “George Clarke’s Amazing Spaces” fame opened Carshalton College’s brand new Technology, Engineering and Construction (TEC) Centre on Thursday 23 June. George gave a truly inspiration speech to local businesses, students, staff and dignities about being an ambassador for vocational learning and how education is everything. George commented on the TEC Centre being an amazing space for learners and what a great opportunity it will provide students with who will be the trade people of tomorrow. George then met students from the various Construction courses and exhibitors at the Construction Employer Trade Fair. Sutton's Empire Cinemas’ Empire Extra gives cinemagoers the unique opportunity to view the best in theatre, music and entertainment from the comfort of their local cinema. With a bumper calendar of events, July is set to be one of the best months yet, screening the likes of world renowned mastersinger Hans Sachs in Die Meistersinger Von Nurnberg and the Kenneth Branagh Theatre Company’s, Romeo and Juliet.
Sutton High School students and staff have said a big well done to their Admissions Officer, Mrs White, who walked 2 x 26.2miles in a challenge called ‘Over the Moon’ in Edinburgh last Sunday. In total, Mrs White has now completed 12 MoonWalks (over 300 miles) to raise money for a breast cancer charity, including the London MoonWalk in May. Amazing fundraising! Co-inciding with the opening of Carshalton College’s brand new Technology, Engineering and Construction (TEC) Centre, the College is inviting current and past students, local employers, partners and stake holders and the general public to an Employer Trade Fair.
