Year 7 Students Celebrate Where We Live!

On Monday, selected year 7 students took part in a beach clean and art workshop, facilitated by Saltwater Creations.

Saltwater Creations is a local CIC who aim to connect people with themselves and nature – particularly the beautiful coastlines we have around our local area.

Students visited Bognor beach, combing an area for items not supposed to be there! They then returned to school and had an art workshop, looking at how beach finds can be turned into art, creating unique canvases to display around FCC.

The students who were chosen to attend this event are either FCC Student Eco Committee members, or students who took the time last term to complete ‘The Big Plastic Count’ - a national initiative which ran back in March – the UKs biggest people-powered investigation into plastic waste. We are running the event again in July for the same group of students from years 8,9 and 10.

A big thank you to Saltwater Creations - it was a great first event - and well done to our students who took part!

Arun Youth Council

Well done to our group of students who have represented the Felpham area at the Arun Youth Council this academic year.

They have attended meeting every half term to give student voice on local issues, as well as helping to organise a local Talent Show!

Particular thank you and well done to Tali Swain in year 12 who has been Vice Chair for the Council this year, helping to co-ordinate all the schools who attend.

Magic Moments at FCC!

Thank you to the incredibly smart and enthusiastic Rose Green year 5 students who visited us on Wednesday this week - over 90 of them which was fantastic!

They completed a French Carousel of activities, had a tour to show how a secondary school is different to a primary school, and took part in a question and answer session with our fantastic year 9 Ambassadors.

U16 Girls County Cup Champions

FCC Shine at Dance House!

On Thursday 19th May, our extremely incredible and talented Dance Team performed at ‘Dance House’, held at Worthing Pavilion. Roughly 15 local primary and secondary schools took part in this event

The FCC Dance Team is made up of talented students from years 7,8,9 and 10. They performed an upbeat hip-hop and street-dance fusion piece called ‘Turn up the Music’. The group have been working on this routine since January, practising every week in the extra-curricular class.

Our team represented FCC brilliantly, not just on stage but in the audience too - cheering the loudest, supporting every school, and showing such passion and kindness throughout the day. We received so many lovely comments about their positivity and how fantastic their piece was - we couldn't be prouder of them!

Student Council End of Year Event

On Tuesday, we held our End of Year Event for Student Council Reps across years 7-10.

We wanted to give students a chance to develop skills, but also have some fun! Workshops included getting creative with lego and visualising our Rights (from our Rights Respecting Gold Award), taste testing new canteen ideas and giving feedback on our canteen provision, becoming literacy short story specialists, learning team working skills and even learning how to work as a team and play Boom Whackers!

We are grateful we have such a strong Student Council at FCC!
