Licensed to learn ... On Tuesday 8th November, GCSE Media Studies students visited Cambridge Arts Picturehouse listen to a lecture about the latest Bond movie Skyfall and the previous Bond movies. In the lecture by Long Road 6th Form College Lecturer, Tanya Jones, they learned about the history of the Bond films and the people involved and also about the profits and the budgets of the major Bond films. The students then discussed the gender roles of women and James Bond himself and were then showed an extract from the ‘worst’ Bond film ever made called Never Say Never Again. Afterwards they watched the new movie, Skyfall. It was a fun trip and beneficial for all the media students that attended because we learnt a lot about the British film industry. We also got a taster of A level Media Studies and Film Studies as almost all the other students attending were sixth formers! Paige Spranger and Daniel Jones

MBA Speed Dating On the 16th January representatives from different local companies took time out of their working day to come and explain to the Year 9’s of Melbourn Village College what employers look for in potential employees. The representatives allowed us to ask questions about what qualifications and skills they look for in a person. Everyone was sorted into groups and moved around the room allowing everyone to ask questions and listen to what they had to say. The employers provided very useful information of what to expect in later life, we all enjoyed their visit and learned lots from them. Matthew Tegerdine, Tom Jackson, Andrew Houghton
