Year 10

MRS SARAH NORAY HEAD OF YEAR 10

Well, what a term it has been!

The start of the GCSE journey, a full range of CCA’s and of course the removal of masks. BSAK is well and

truly back!

There have been lots of moments this term that have been nostalgic for me and made me really appreciate how much BSAK has always had to offer. I am delighted that after such a turbulent few years, we as a school are able to show off all the ‘extras’ that make BSAK such a special place. KS4/5 coffee morning, Lip Sync, all those events that allow our community to thrive and bring communication back as a cornerstone of the success of our school.

HOUSE COMPETITIONS &

PERFORMANCES

More than ever, the corridors are alive…. With the sound of music!

We have had classical artists of the most accomplished standard playing in concerts and events throughout the term. Almost too much talent to mention! Notable examples this term are Georgina Ramanayake who was part of a group of students fortunate enough to play at the opening

ceremony of the NBA tournament at

Etihad Arena in October and Mia, Jude, Sara, Zain and Cameron, our Year 10 rockstars, who appeared in the fabulous Unplugged event in November, absolutely brilliant performances all round. Well done!

SCHOOL

PRODUCTION

A massive congratulations and well done to all the year 10 students who appeared in Joseph and the Technicolour

Dreamcoat at the end of November.

Their energy, professionalism and charisma on stage shone through in every scene.

It was such a joy to see performance back in full force on the BSAK stage and I am looking forward to the next big show already!

YEAR 10 WORK EXPERIENCE

As well as hitting the ground running with GCSE’s, Options and CCA’s, students are being provided with a holistic BSAK experience this year and have the wonderful opportunity of a week's work experience in April, just after the forthcoming Eid Al Fitr holiday. By this stage, all students should have completed their CV’s and started approaching companies to secure their week’s placement.

THANK YOU &

WELCOME BACK

A huge thank you to Miss Fleming who has been supporting 10CE this term as their form tutor. You have done a fantastic job and we can’t thank you enough. Welcome back to 10CE’s lovely Miss Bienka, after her well deserved maternity leave. I know 10CE are looking forward to welcoming you back in January.

Have a wonderful winter break everyone! See you in 2023!
