Head's Weekly Review 10 01 2020

Keeping up with everything going on at Roedean.

School News
Happy New Year! It is wonderful to see everyone back after the holidays, rested and full of energy for the term ahead. At the end of last term, in the week of the General Election, girls from every year group were able to cast their vote in the Roedean Mock Election of 2019. Over the preceding few weeks, our ‘Campaign Managers’ had been busy speaking in Assemblies and canvassing support, and a range of political opinions were discussed and scrutinised. Find out which party ‘won’ be reading the weekly review! In other news, Madison (Yr7) had a very successful 2018/19 Chess season, in which she won the Worthing Grand Prix and was second overall in the Sussex Junior Chess U11 Tournament. Following on from this success, Madison recently competed in her first and tough Under 18 Sussex Girls’ Championships, held at Burgess Hill Girls’ School in December. During the Autumn Term, four of our Year 13 mathematicians attended lectures and workshops twice a week at the University of Sussex, alongside the first year undergraduates – this has become quite a tradition for us, and the girls love it and always do well. And finally, we were very proud to have over 100 girls across Years 7 and 8 taking part in a Netball fixture last Wednesday. There are still more girls keen to play and with this level of enthusiasm, our aim is to give every girl in these year groups a chance to take part in a competitive Netball fixture.
