Mr Murdoch had the privilege of covering Miss Houghton's food technology lesson this week and spent the hour making bolognese with very talented and respectful Year 7 students. Students recapped knife safety, skills and food hygiene whilst making their bolognese to a recipe.

Mr Murdoch was impressed by how hard students worked and how confident they were in the kitchen. Well done Year 7!

Several cricketers from across all year groups took part in the Beach Cricket event this week at Appley Beach, organised by the IWCB.

It was a fantastic day of cricket, teamwork and fun, with both our girls' and boys' teams representing Medina brilliantly.

🏏 Boys – 2nd Place

Congratulations to all of the students who took part. We are very proud of your efforts and achievements!

Well played, everyone! 👏
