YEAR 13 PARENTS’ EVENING ONLINE BOOKING SYSTEM

The Year 13 Parents’ Evening is on Tuesday

7 October 2014 from 4.30 to 7.00pm in the

Curnock block.

The school has now introduced an intuitive

and easy to use online appointment booking

system for parents’ evenings. This

considerably improves our previous system

which relied on students making bookings

with teachers. This online system is now

being used for all parents’ evenings.

The system enables parents to choose their

own appointments with teachers, for which

parents will receive email confirmation.

Year 13 parents/carers have been sent

information about booking appointments

including the log in details, together with a

short guide on how to use the system. Parents

will be able to make bookings from 10.00am

today, 30 September. Visit https://stbartholomews.parentseveningsystem.co.uk

to book your appointments.

If parents/carers with students in Year 13 do

not have access to the internet please contact

the appropriate House office who will add

appointments on your behalf.

KEY STAGE 3 AWARDS Thank you to everyone, especially the

students and parents, who made the evening on

18 September such a success.

The evening took the form of an Oscar awards

ceremony. There were four students

nominated in every subject who each received

a certificate and book voucher. The overall

winner was announced on stage. Nominees

and winners are detailed on pages 4 to 7.

EVERS NEWS Now the autumn term is in full swing, the

Evers community spirit is gaining

momentum! Along with our House orchestra

our House music captains are busy leading our

choir in rehearsal, ready for House music. At

the same time as this, tutor groups are busily

preparing for our House Evening which will

be held on 14 November. This year’s theme is

“Evers goes to the Movies”. We are calling all

students to try to take part in any way they

can. This could include song, dance or even a

sketch. The staff are busy preparing some

extra special surprises. While the main point

of the House Evening is for students to

showcase their talents and to have fun as a

house, it is also a great opportunity for us to

raise money for our House charity – West

Berkshire Mencap.

On the point of going

the extra mile for

charity, it is fantastic

to report that Evers

students – Alexander

Harvey, Oliver Pizzey,

Matthew Van Zyl and

Robert Weekes

completed a long

distance sponsored bike ride. In doing so they

managed to raise an amazing sum of over

£400! Well done lads!

In addition to our last Evers News, we would

like to add to our celebration of Jacob

Aldridge’s achievement in Judo. He won gold

in the 60kg division of the Heart of England

(Cadet) competition. Well done, Jacob!

SONGS WE LOVE TO SING Berkshire Maestros and

St Bartholomew’s School present

Songs We Love to Sing at this FREE

concert on Friday 3 October at 7pm in the Hall

at St Bart’s.

You are invited to attend this free vocal

concert with sopranos Juliet Oppenheimer and

Ella Stirmey. This is a fantastic opportunity for

you to come and learn more about singing and

how singing lessons could benefit you. You

will also be hearing some fantastic songs, the

songs we love to sing.

Parents and other family members welcome.

DAVIS HOUSE EVENING 2014 Davis House would like to invite you to our

annual House Evening. This year it will take

place on Friday 10 October at 7pm in the

Hall. The programme will include a wide

variety of music, drama, dance and comedy

from students of all ages.

As usual we are aiming to raise money for our

house charity - Prostate Cancer UK and we

will be charging £5 for adults and £3 for

children/concessions. Refreshments will also

be available to purchase. Tickets will be

available from the Davis House Heads’ office

during Activity Time. Don’t delay as we

expect to sell out quickly! We will also be

holding our traditional raffle and we would

be grateful if you could donate a prize for

this.

We look forward to seeing you on 10 October

for a fun night of fundraising and

entertainment. Please arrive by 6.45pm as we

will be starting promptly at 7pm.

Mrs Hodgkin, Miss Thorne ad Mrs Lee

*******************************

DAVIS CHARITY Students, staff and parents of Davis House

have raised an incredible £3,508.77 for

Prostate Cancer UK over the last school year.

Every two years Davis students are invited to

nominate a charity and give a brief

presentation in assembly. All the students and

teachers in Davis House then vote. Prostate

Cancer UK was chosen in this way and

nominated by last year’s House Captain.

Students have raised the money by organising

cake sales, sponsored walks, runs, bike rides,

car boot sales, an Easter Fair, a chocolate

raffle, badge and bracelet selling, coffee

mornings, secret Santa, carol singing, karaoke,

a disco and House evening. In particular,

Cicely Colthurst raised £515 doing a sky dive

and Owen Miller raised £580 doing three cycle

events. Pictured presenting the cheque to Mr

Simon Lord,

representative

from Prostate

Cancer UK are

Head Girl

Camilla Dickson,

House Captains Jennifer Dickson and Stephen

McDowell, Mr Lord, Owen Miller 8D1 and

Deputy House Captain Jessica Edwards.

Students and staff in Davis House will

continue to raise money for Prostate Cancer

UK during the next academic year.

**************************

Sunday 21 September saw a good-sized

audience gather in Newbury Corn Exchange to

hear the final of the inaugural Newbury

Songwriter of the Year competition, organised

and sponsored by Hogan Music. St Bart's had

two finalists in the 11 who made it through the

preliminary rounds of students from West

Berkshire and further afield into the depths of

Hampshire, Sam Prentice (Y13) and Tilly

Minchin (Y11). The competition was stiff,

with all composers having to perform their

songs in front of a large audience and the

panel of judges.

The final verdict saw Tilly coming out as

winner with her song Cover Up which made a

real impact on judges and audience alike. She

won a cheque for £1000 to be spent in Hogan

Music, five days recording time in a studio

with an engineer to put together a professional

quality demo CD, and the Music Department

also received a cheque for £1000 to be spent

on musical equipment.

Congratulations to Tilly on this wonderful

achievement; we are very proud of her.

BOYS’ PE

St Bart’s v Theale Green, Football National

Cup – 1-0 to St Bart’s

St Bart’s got off to a good start controlling

most of the play. The boys dominated for the

first ten minutes resulting in a brilliant goal

scored by Archie Awford. After this the team

kept most of the possession during the

remaining first half. Theale Green had a

couple of chances, but nothing dangerous.

The second half got off to a tense start with

Theale Green when their striker chipped our

keeper, Tom Cole, but missed the post by a

whisker. Theale Green then delivered a

dangerous corner result in Tom making an

excellent save. St Bart’s then bounced back

with a succession of quick passes and were on

the counter attack, unfortunately failing to

score. The match ended with a successful win

to St Bart’s 1-0 taking the team through to the

next round.

Squad – Tom Cole, Louis Measures, Louis

Mortimer, Theo Thomas, Scott Bailey, Archie

Awford, Canberk Caner, Jordan Hobbs,

Sammy Hart, Thomas Williams, Jamie

Wardle, Henry Chandler, Joe Power and Jack

Graham.

Jordan Hobbs, 9E2

match.

Lacrosse Reports v Queen Anne’s

Year 10

On Saturday 20 September the Year 10 played

at Queen Anne’s. This is always a tough

match and the girls had a sparse squad of just

12 players which made things even tougher.

The team were 5-0 down at half time and the

final score was 12-3 to Queen Anne’s. Every

player gave 100% and a special mention to

goal keeper Freya Eva who had a great game

and to Annabel Mangan for the second game

running being awarded player of the match.

Squad - Freya Eva (goal keeper), Alissa

Thiel, Rebecca Shaw, Amy Q-G, Laura Kirk

(captain), Abby Graham, Georgina Sanderson,

Frankie Twyford, Annabel Mangan, Beth

Daly, Issi Sanderson, Tozin Sonubi.

Year 9

The team had a smaller squad for this fixture,

meaning each player had to work harder. It

took Queen Anne’s eight minutes to score

their first goal and it was pleasing to see how

hard the girls worked in defence. Courtney

Renouf, Millie Pope and Izzy Lainsbury all

deserve praise for working hard the entire

game. The final score was 11-1 to Queen

Anne’s and Izzy scored the St Bart’s goal.

Davina Emetulu as goal keeper was deservedly

awarded player of the match.

Squad – Davina Emetulu (goal keeper), Alice

Points, Izzy Lainsbury, Courtney Renouf

(captain), Jess Allum (captain), Emma

Greenslade, Lilia Norman, Katherine Wade-

Berrospi, Millie Pope, Hannie Makant, Finola

Mangan, Thea Manton, Niamh Watson, Tegan
