CO-CURRICULAR BOOKLET September 2014

2

“The curriculum is so much necessary raw material but warmth is the vital element for the growing soul of the child.”

Carl Gustav Jung

Morrison’s Academy is a busy place both in and out of the classroom. Visitors often comment on the fact that relationships between pupils and staff are excellent. We believe that the multitude of after-school activities that we offer is a vital ingredient in fostering this atmosphere of mutual respect. Pupils are encouraged to try out new activities and find one or two that they enjoy: from art to athletics, from chess to climbing, from debating to the Duke of Edinburgh Award and from kayaking to karate – there is something for every pupil at Morrison’s. We are very proud of the large numbers of pupils who take advantage of the opportunities we offer them in the areas of music, drama and sport as well as the smaller numbers of pupils who attend equally valuable clubs such as Debating and Chess. Valuable life skills such as working as part of a team, problem-solving and socialising are learned in a way no textbook could ever put across and life-long friendships are formed by pupils (sometimes in different year groups) through shared interests. We hope you will be impressed by what we have to offer and we hope that you will encourage your child to come along and get involved. The fun that is to be had from a co-curricular activity is likely to be remembered long after the facts painstakingly memorised for an exam have been forgotten!

“For the great majority, their most profound learning experience takes place outside the classroom.”

John Abbott

Debating Society Competition Training

Mrs Lafferty Mrs Boal

The Debating Society offers pupils in the Secondary School the opportunity to learn the skills of debating and to put these into practice both within the school and also in a range of competitions against other schools. At the Debating Society meetings pupils are encouraged to speak out and develop their thoughts through a number of games. They also have the opportunity to prepare for and take part in formal debates, encouraged by Mrs Lafferty, Mrs Boal and some of our competitive debaters. New members are always welcome and will soon learn to structure a speech and to identify the flaws in the arguments made by the other side. The competition training meeting puts its energies into training pupils for inter-school competitions. The pupils will be experienced debaters who are engaging in developing skills for unseen motions. This involves learning standard arguments, developing rebuttal techniques and improving the debaters’ knowledge of current affairs. In the days leading up to a competition, pupils will be expected to train at lunchtime and after school. This represents a very considerable commitment to the society. The dates and timings of these other lunchtime and after-school meetings will be arranged with the speakers. In addition to the above, pupils in S4-S6 are encouraged to take part in our monthly debates. These take place on the first Wednesday of each month and are run by the Debating Captain. Finally, all pupils have the opportunity to earn points for their house in the annual inter-house debating competitions. All are very welcome to join the society and share in this valuable and entertaining educational opportunity. Please bring a packed lunch to lunchtime meetings for a prompt start at 12:45.

Karate Club (Tora Kai) Thursday 17:00-18.00 Gym P1-S6

Parents & Staff Ms H Bennett

Mr Clifford

Shokatan Karate is by far the biggest single karate style in the world today. It can be practised safely by anyone regardless of age or fitness level. The practice of shokatan promotes total body fitness and also physical and moral strength. Above all it is a system of self-defence without equal. Tora-kai is a large organisation with clubs in many schools throughout Scotland. Towards the end of each term, in addition to the weekly training sessions, there will be a course and grading examination with the National coach. The Karate Club (which is affiliated to the Perth Tora-Kai Club) is open to all pupils, staff and parents. The club is organised by professional instructors and costs apply. Please contact Ms Hilary Bennett for further information or come along to the class.

Kayaking Club Thursday 15:35-16:45 Pool S1-S6 Mr Anderson

The Kayaking Club aims to introduce as many pupils as possible to the sport. During the early part of the academic year, while the weather is generally good, our more experienced paddlers are taken to Loch Earn or similar water to test their skills in the great outdoors. Each session we invite a new group of pupils to join the club. They are trained in the school swimming pool, learning the basic strokes and safety procedures. All will grow in confidence and attain greater control; some may learn to roll the boat. In the summer term, the pupils will be given the opportunity to put their skills into practice on real water, normally Loch Earn. During the year there may be opportunities to kayak a stretch of the River Tay. The only limitations to membership are the practical considerations of equipment and the size of the swimming pool.

Mountaineering and MTB Club Friday All pupils Mr Howell

This activity is open to pupils, staff and parents. This club aims to provide the following:

Special FX Club Tuesday

15:45-16:45

FT26 S1-S6 Mr Millon

The Special FX club follows the structure of classes where pupils will learn key techniques in animation, sound and visual effects, and apply them on small individual projects. Pupils will make their own visual effects, film them, and then use them as part of their projects on a computer. Due to the limited number of computers available, a maximum of 8 pupils may take part in this club. This club is open to everyone in S1 to S6, but senior pupils may find it particularly interesting as the club aims to teach skills which can be further developed in higher education. Having a good working knowledge of computers is not essential, but preferred.

Summer term activities In the summer term the main changes involve a switch of the main sports which are hockey, rugby and netball in the first two terms, to athletics, tennis and cricket in the summer term. Regular fixtures and practices take place for girls’ tennis and cricket. Regular athletics practices take place at Dallerie to allow pupils to prepare for occasional matches with other schools or for the school’s own Sports Day. The golf team takes part in a number of events including regular matches in the Perth & Kinross schools league, and further opportunities for golf are in the Belch Cup and in the Perth & Kinross championships. There are several other activities which become available in the summer term and others which stop during the summer term. A full timetable of co-curricular activities will be published and distributed at the beginning of the summer term.

Young Enterprise Wednesday 15:45-16:45 OS5 S6 Mrs Stirling

The Business Studies Department, together with an adviser from industry, runs the Young Enterprise (Scotland) Scheme in school, whereby members of S5 and S6 form themselves into a company in order to sell products or services and hopefully make a profit and learn a life-skill or two; indeed some may even find their niches in life! “Achievers” are encouraged to learn from their mistakes and as the company develops, teachers and advisors should find themselves being used less and less by the company board which includes all the company members, together with six elected directors, namely the Managing Director (with a depute), the Company Secretary (with a depute) and the Finance Director (with a depute).

(Mr Hamilton) The School Library can be used by any pupil in TR-S6 and is currently open from 15.35 – 17.00. Under the supervision of Mrs Mowat, the Librarian, pupils can study or do homework, and use books or a PC for research purposes. A black and white printer is available if required. Of course pupils may also read books or newspapers in the library. We are gradually developing our stock of contemporary young adult fiction and non-fiction, and pupils can borrow these for a period of 3 weeks initially. Mrs Mowat always welcomes any suggestions for reading materials, and is happy to recommend books to anyone looking for a good read. For those who are keen readers, it is hoped that a Morrison’s ‘book group’ may be set up which will meet a couple of times each term. Similarly, it is hoped to set up a film club which will give the pupils a chance to explore and develop their understanding of film. There is a Biennial Ski trip. (Mr Weston) An extensive range of inter-house activities runs throughout the session, details of which can be found on the termly calendar and on house notice-boards. If pupils are interested in participating, further details can be obtained from house officials.
