| VISIT TO COLSTON’S BY KATE LEE |
| |
On Friday 28 November Kate Lee, an actress turned Performance Coach, visited Colston’s to talk to pupils about self presentation and interview preparation.
She gave a very lively and informative presentation to Year 10 pupils who seemed particularly to enjoy the role playing aspects of the talk. They should now have a good idea of how to present themselves – whether in public or at an interview. This information should be especially useful for those who have interviews next year for their work experience placements.
Kate also talked to the Sixth Form about interviews and presentation techniques and provided a most entertaining as well as informative General Studies session.
In the afternoon Kate gave some interview tips to those students expecting University interviews and conducted brief mock interviews which caused some hilarity as well as proving very useful!
Colston’s clearly enjoyed the visit from Kate Lee and we hope to see her again next year. |

| LEPRA WORKOUT |
| |
Some 40 pupils from Years 7 and 8 took part in a workout on Tuesday 25th November 2003. Another 25 did not take part but still raised money for the Lepra Charity.
Of this number over 20 pupils raised more than £21 each. This small amount of money is enough to cure someone of Leprosy. The total money raised exceeded £900, and is another excellent effort from the pupils at Colston`s School.

| BLOOD WEDDING |
| |
 |
| |
| This year’s Year 11 production is Blood Wedding by Federico Garcia Lorca. It will start at 7.30p.m. at the Harry Crook Theatre, Colston’s School on Wednesday 19, Thursday 20 and Friday 21 November. Doors open at 7.00 p.m.
Based on a true story of love, lust, and betrayal, Blood Wedding is one of the most powerful and innovative plays of the twentieth century. Federico Garcia Lorca wrote his best known play years after reading a newspaper account of a young bride in Andalusia who abandoned her husband-to-be on their wedding day to escape with her childhood sweetheart. Lorca evokes the spectacle of human passion through sophisticated and often surrealistic poetic technique, elevating the love story to a tragedy of fate.
We will be complementing Lorca’s classic of world theatre with stunning physical theatre and imaginative, unusual staging. A very talented cast and crew are sure to entertain you with this beautiful and timeless play.

| COLSTON'S PARENTS' SOCIETY 2003/4 CHALLENGE |
| |
So what is "The Colston’s Collegiate 2003/4 Challenge"?
Over three months, three sets of obscure and difficult quiz questions will be published on the Colston’s website (or posted to anyone who does not have access to the internet.)
It is not a ‘General Knowledge’ quiz with answers which are easy to come by. It is a Research Quiz where the answers are obscure and sometimes very specific knowledge will be required to produce the answers.
Each month 10 rounds will be published, each with 10 questions per round. Running through the answers for each group of 10 will be a hidden link. It will be necessary to establish the link to gain full marks for the group of questions.
The enjoyment to be gained from this quiz is in the need to organise the appropriate research. This is why a month is given for the completion of each round. The answers are e-mailed to a dedicated e-mail address by the appropriate deadline.
There will be a £10 entry fee per team and teams will need to register by e-mailing an application form to Mick Hubbard and he will confirm their acceptance and tell them where to send their entry fee.
The first round of questions will be published on the website in December, the second round in January and the third in February. A final round for the leading teams will be held in March with no access to books or the Internet! |

| THE NEXT GENERATION OF RUGBY REFEREES |
| |
 |
| |
On Thursday 16 October, Richard Glynne-Jones, Panel Development Manager of the Rugby Football Union fronted up a presentation to pupils from Years 10, 11 and the Sixth Form at Colston’s, along with Ed Morrison the well known world class rugby referee.
The purpose of the presentation was to launch a new initiative to try to encourage more youngsters to take up refereeing whilst continuing to play the game. In this way Richard Glynn-Jones hopes to develop a new generation of young referees who will be capable of refereeing at the highest level.
Following the presentation twenty one boys and five girls volunteered to enroll on the new refereeing course, and they had their first meeting on Wednesday 22nd October.
Colston’s 1st XV won the St. Joseph’s Festival for the third successive year at the week-end, and it is to hoped that at least some of this batch of budding referees will make it to the top level too. |
| |
|
| NEW SPORTING FACILITIES AT COLSTON'S |
| |
| Thanks to the generosity of the Society of Merchant Venturers Colston's Collegiate School and Colston’s Girls’ School will now be able to enjoy the use of a floodlit Astroturf hockey pitch and six floodlit tennis/netball courts at Stapleton. |
| |
|
|
|
 |
|
| |
| An old changing room has also been renovated to provide changing and shower facilities for girls, and a new car park will allow the expected increase in spectators to park with ease. |

|
| 1st XV CONTINUE TO IMPRESS |
| |
| Colston's 1st XV won the 17th Annual National Schools' Rugby Festival at St Joseph's College, Ipswich this weekend for the third successive year. This festival has become without doubt one of the premier rugby tournaments within the schoolboy calendar with 16 of the top schoolboy teams from England, Scotland, Ireland and Wales taking part. Colston's have now won this event on six occasions. |
| |
|
| |
| Colston's were unbeaten over the two days and did not even concede a try in the whole competition. In pool games on Saturday they had wins over Bradford Grammar, Monmouth and Brighton College. On Sunday, in a second pool for the winners and runners-up from Saturday, Colston's defeated Blackrock College Dublin, RGS High Wycombe and Millfield. Then in an exciting and tense final they defeated Ivybridge Community College from Devon 15-3. |

| SIXTH FORM OPEN EVENING PACKS THEM IN |
| |
The school theatre was packed last Thursday evening for the Sixth Form Open Evening. After songs from Louise Milne and Matthew Jelf, the audience heard from the Headmaster, David Crawford, who talked about issues which had arisen during the HMC conference from which he had only just returned, and the Director of the Sixth Form, Gerard Boyce, introduced four members of the Upper Sixth- Paul Martinovic, Lydia Hillary, Dan Shuker and Louise Milne- who talked about their experiences at the school and how much they recommended it.
After that, parents and pupils- including several visitors from other schools- visited departments and spoke to subject teachers and to students currently following the courses. It looks very likely that the sixth form next September will yet again reach record numbers

| YEAR 10 GEOGRAPHY TRIP TO THE MENDIPS |
|
 |
| |
As part of their GCSE Rocks course 55 Year 10 Geographers and 4 staff ventured onto the Mendips for a day on Thursday 25th September. During the morning they had a guided tour of Wookey Hole caves where they experienced Caverns and Stalactites first hand. Having safely navigated the network of underground chambers we then went onto the largest limestone quarry in Europe. A huge hole in the ground, visible from satellite and two miles long (nearly). Emphasis was placed on the environmental issues surrounding quarrying and the students received an excellent talk from the Educational Officer. The day proved to be a great success with stark made contrasts between the natural and human landscapes of the Mendips
|

|
| OPEN MORNING |

| YEAR 11 GEOGRAPHY FIELD COURSE TO NETTLECOMBE COURT 12th-13th SEPTEMBER |
| |
 |
| |
| 57 Geography students and four staff spent two days in north Somerset gathering primary data for their forthcoming GCSE projects. Fantastic weather and first class tuition from the Field Studies Centre at Nettlecombe Court resulted in some excellent data being collected. The students doing the physical project work were based at Porlock Bay collecting beach data and pebble measurements. The Human project was centred around Minehead, where students completed a land use survey and environmental quality assessment. After two intensive days the students returned to school and are now processing their results. Individual projects have to be completed by Christmas. Many thanks go to Mr Eyles, Dr Dawson, Mrs Brighton and Mrs Marshall. |

| VALUE ADDED |
| |
| As part of a national programme to measure value-added performance in schools Year 7 pupils took a series of short tests last week. The MidYIS Test is designed to provide a baseline measurement of each pupil's ability on entry to Colston's. These results can then be compared with later results gained at Key Stage 3 and GCSE, enabling a value-added measurement to be made. In a pilot scheme run in 2001 Colston's "value added" placed us 3rd in the National League Table. |
