We have established the college's first ever 'Sports Council'. Members of the council will hold regular meetings to discuss the college's sporting priorities and the needs of its students. "We want to empower our young people to take control of the sporting opportinities available at Lakeview and in their own lives." David Lodge, SSco Chilwell, 14th March 2008 Nearly 200 Year 7 pupils participated in a sponsored skip on Thursday 31st February. Working in teams, the pupils skipped continuously for 30 minutes. Y10 sports leaders helped to organise the event and helped motivate the pupils. The event raised £841 - 49, of which 75% will go to the British Heart Foundation, 12.5% to Year 7 funds and 12.5% to the Year 10 Sports Leaders. The Sports Leaders will use their share of the money to but new sports leader T -shirts. "We had a great time, with young leaders acting as DJ's and helping the younger children skip. I would like to thank Mrs Parr head of Year 7 for helping us organise the event. Special mention to Jackie Ghanremani who raised £104, Jack Fewkes who raised £71 and Tasarla Elliott who raised £55!" - David Lodge, SSCo Chilwell. Chilwell, 14th March 2008 |
