This week has seen the first half term break of 2022. And all of the schools have been very busy.

Here is a little snapshot at what has been going on in our Schools:

Thornleigh Salesian College:

Sixth Form students were taken by the History department to a talk at Bolton School by the current Speaker of the House, Sir Lindsay Hoyle.

Students were entertained by a lively narrative of Sir Lindsay's political journey and his desire to engage young people in politics. A 45 minute question and answer session followed, with Thornleigh students asking how the current change over of the Prime Minister will impact Sir Lindsay's role. Students were engaged, enthusiastic and fully inspired by Sir Lindsay's political messages and their understanding of the political workings of the government will certainly help their A Level History course.

Salesian College, Farnborough:

During their half-term holiday some staff and students have gone to New York. So far they have visited Times Square, the Rockefeller Centre and the United Nations headquarters.

St John Bosco College, Battersea:

Year 7 students have been taking part in Climate Change workshops, organised by ClimateEdUK. The first half term, saw students take part in 2 of the 3 workshops

St John Bosco Arts College, Croxteth:

Sixth form students had a fantastic time attending a Medicine taster day at Edge Hill University. They had a tour of the campus led by a former pupil. They then attended sessions on; Life as a Doctor with Junior doctors, Anatomy, Ethical issues in Health care and Basic life support with a range of different Healthcare practitioners. They were able to get hands on experiences of how students train to work in a variety of medical professions using the amazing facilities and specialist equipment.
