Duke Of Edinburgh

The sun was shining over Rivington Pike as both the Bronze and Silver Duke of Edinburgh groups went out on the second training walk of the year. To prepare them for their expeditions, this time the students walked with their rucksacks packed as though they were camping overnight. This allowed them to have a real understanding of the weight they would be carrying on their backs and hopefully realise that 5 pairs of shoes really aren’t necessary, which some of the girls found out! To keep their spirits up it wasn’t just Mr O’Thy’s awful jokes that made them walk faster, it was the new canine additions to the team who literally pulled them up and down the hills, sometimes in the wrong direction! Mr Bellamy’s dog, Cody and Mr O’Thy’s dog, Honey joined the resident DofE dog Donny (Miss Garnett’s), but were sadly beaten to the finish line by the ever so competitive sixth form team, who walked 5.5 miles in under 2 hours! The students will be putting all of the skills learned on the day walks into practice on their expeditions next, with the Bronze year 9 team out in May half term, and the Silver sixth form team out at the end of June.
Technology Tournament

A team of year eight girls and year ten boys recently competed at the Rotary Club engineering and design challenge. The design brief was to create a prototype of a bridge, which could hold a pre-set weight and also lift to allow boats to pass through. Both teams worked well together and the year eight team won the KS3 challenge with a massive 15 point lead. Meanwhile, the boys narrowly missed first place, beaten by only 8 points. Six other schools entered, so this is a great achievement for both Maghull High teams. Not only did school receive the top trophy but also a prize of £400. Congratulations to all involved and thank you for representing the school so brilliantly.

Joint Music Concert

We would like to say a big thank you and well done to the year five pupils who joined us recently from Aintree Davenhill Primary school. After a visit from our Head of Music Mr Dutch to their school, the whole of year five spent a morning with us in rehearsal and then many of them came back the following evening to sing for parents and staff. They performed as part of a concert involving Maghull High pupils, peripatetic music teachers and our own staff. After singing two beautiful numbers of their own, they then took part in the finale rendition of One Direction’s ‘That’s what makes you beautiful’, singing alongside our own pupils. Thank you to all of the staff, students and parents who supported the event, particularly to Ben Delaney and Ross Carrigan in Year 13 who organised and ran the sound and lighting. The evening was enjoyed by all who attended and we look forward to our next joint venture.
