Rossett News Update - 8 March 2024
Rotary Club Technology Competition
On Tuesday this week Mrs Phelps accompanied three groups of students to St Aidans School to take part in the STEM Rotary Club technology competition.
Rotary Technology Tournaments are a challenging and enjoyable way for young people to enrich their STEM learning (Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths). The students, who were in teams of four, had to solve an interactive technology-based task and were required to design, develop and build a solution with the materials supplied. We are delighted to let you know that our Year 9 Foundation level team were awarded first place. Congratulations and well done to all of the participants and to Mrs Phelps for accompanying the trip. We are delighted for the winning team, Chloe Blackburn, Oscar Cookman, Jack Bailey and Martha Buono.

Our extra-curricular First Aid teams and student leadership team are raising money for the children of Gaza via UNICEF and hope to support the distribution of aid. You can support this fundraiser by donating via your child's Scopay account to buy a raffle ticket.
PTA Quiz Night
Tickets are still available for our PTA quiz night next week but they are selling fast and we would like to confirm numbers with our caterers early next week.

It promises to be a fun night with new categories added by our fantastic quizmaster Mr Lee.
