We’re extremely excited to share that Macaulay F in Year 13 has been offered a place at the University of Oxford to study French and Beginner's German at Wadham College. This is a huge achievement and one he’s worked hard to secure.
Dominic C, Year 11 reports: “We flew into Berlin, for a four-day trip, on Friday 17th January. That afternoon, we got the chance to go into the dome of the Reichstag and to see the Brandenburg Gate. After that, we saw the Holocaust Memorial. The next day (my favourite day), we saw a remnant of the Berlin Wall, we toured a Stasi (secret East German police) prison and visited the Topography of Terror, about Nazi violence towards minorities. We also ate currywurst that day! On Sunday, we got to visit a concentration camp where mainly political prisoners were held. We also got to shop at a local market. For the final day, we visited a museum about life in East Germany before flying home that evening.”
Last week, our pupils embarked on an incredible cultural and linguistic adventure to Seville and Córdoba, two of Spain’s most historic and vibrant cities. This trip wasn’t just about sightseeing—it was a full immersion into Spanish culture, history and traditions.
On Thursday 24th January, the Year 7 and 8 athletics teams travelled away to Battersea Sports Centre to compete at the Wandsworth Sportshall Athletics competition against eight other schools in the district. The atmosphere was electric, and our pupils conducted themselves fantastically throughout the day. The afternoon finished with the relays, where all Saint Cecilia's teams won convincingly. Overall results:
Year 7 girls team - won gold
Year 7 boys team - won silver
Year 8 girls team - won gold
Year 8 boys team - won silver
This meant we were the best performing school at the event for the second year in a row. As the borough champions, our Year 7 girls team also qualify to represent Wandsworth in the regional finals on Thursday 6th February.
We have more fantastic news from our LAMDA pupils. Joseph G and Georgina G in Year 9, both achieved Distinction in their Acting LAMDA exams this term. Joseph was entered for Grade 4 Solo and Georgina, Grade 3 Solo. Big congratulations to these two rising stars!
Mimi J in Year 7 drew this still life drawing of fruit using oil pastel on dark paper (pictured left). She has looked carefully, observing subtle changes in colour and shadow to create this beautiful drawing that looks as if it’s about to pop out of the page. Well done Mimi! Pictured Right: Louis P in Year 8 worked so hard on this observational drawing of an insect. He looked closely at details and proportions, before adding shade and tone to create this realistic image. Well done Louis!
