On Thursday 22nd of August all year 11 students collected their GCSE results. It was a long anticipated day and most students were relieved when the day finally arrived. Most students were nervous opening their envelopes. However, it always such a special occasion when they finally look at their results and all the nervousness gets replaced with pure joy and excitement. We are incredibly proud of all our students and enjoyed talking to them about next steps. We wish all students the very best in terms of their Post 16 journey and we are sure that we will hear from them in the future. We have no doubt that they are destined for big things.

On Wednesday 10th of July, Rosedale College hosted its annual Celebration Evening. It is one of the highlight events of the calendar year, as it celebrates the achievements of those students who are the top achievers in their specific subject areas. What makes the evening even more special is that parents, guardians and carers get to attend the evening alongside their children. We are incredibly proud of all students who managed to win an award on the evening. It is very difficult to be the top student in a particular subject for the entire year group. A special congratulations to Arjunvir Singh and Amrit Hans who won the Vice Principal awards whilst Leo Gredji won the Principal’s award.

Rosedale College recently hosted its first, much-anticipated Scholastic Book Fair, transforming the library into a vibrant hub of literary excitement. Students and teachers were immersed in a world of books, celebrating the joy of reading and the adventure that comes with each page turned, as all Key Stage 3 students got to visit at least twice during their English lessons. The fair featured a wide array of books catering to all ages and interests. From graphic novels to thrilling teen-fiction novels and some of the classics from the literary canon, there was something for everyone. The selection also included educational resources, engaging non-fiction titles, and popular series that kept readers coming back for more. The Book Fair wasn’t just about selling books; it was about creating a community of readers. Proceeds from the fair go towards purchasing new books for the school library, ensuring that our students continue to have access to diverse and exciting reading materials. A big thank you to the English Alliance and Mrs Theepan in making this event a success. The Scholastic Book Fair will be back in the autumn, hopefully inspiring a love of reading in our students that will last a lifetime.

On Friday 22nd March, 14 excited Key Stage 3 students were gathered at the college at 5:30am for the start of a long, exciting journey to Belgium and back. Taking the Eurotunnel to Calais then on to Belgium, the first stop was the impressive Passchendaele Memorial Museum, which has uniforms, weapons, artillery and memorabilia all with an audio guide, before going down into the living quarters and trenches from the famous battle which took place there. After the museum, the students were taken to the picture-postcard pretty town of Ypres, for lunch and, of course, a trip to one of the famous Belgian chocolate shops. Once we returned to the minibus, the next stop was the Cite Europe shopping centre in Calais for the students to practise their French, before taking the Eurotunnel back. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed the day and made some long-lasting memories of Belgium.
