Sir Harry Smith Community College

A group of Year 12 BTEC Sport students have organised a non-uniform day on Friday 19th June in aid of Macmillan Cancer Support💚.
Students can attend school on this day in non-uniform 👕👖in return for a £1 donation.

Students may also wish to bring some extra money with them this week, as during form time, there will be the opportunity for students to guess the number of sweets 🍬 in a jar with the closest guess winning the sweets.

Finally at lunchtime on Friday 19th June students will have an opportunity to take 3 penalty shots ⚽️ for £1 against the PE teachers in goal.

Thank you in advance for your support 💚

📚After months of hard work, the end of exams is finally in sight for our Year 11's and 13's.

Year 11 students have their final GSCE exam today and only a few more A Levels for our Year 13’s this week.

We are hugely proud of how well they have stepped up to the mark 👏

Also our Year 10 and 13 students start their mock exams today - we wish them all the very best of luck 🍀

SHSCC was pleased to welcome local MP Steve Barclay to the college today. He spoke to sixth form students about politics and current affairs and took lots of questions from them.

🚑First Aid Course Off to a Great Start!

Our new First Aid Training Course has got off to a fantastic start, with students thoroughly enjoying their first session and getting hands-on experience in learning essential life-saving skills.

The course covers a range of important topics, including CPR🫀, choking response, cuts and wounds🩹, the safe use of a defibrillator (AED), and other vital first aid techniques. It is designed to give students the confidence and knowledge to respond calmly and effectively in emergency situations while developing valuable skills for life.

✅There is still time to get involved! All students are welcome to sign up for the course using the link that has been sent to them via email. Whether you're interested in learning new skills, boosting your confidence, or simply want to be prepared to help others in an emergency, we encourage you to take part.

We look forward to welcoming many more students to the upcoming sessions and seeing them achieve their First Aid Course Certificate.

⭐️Young Artist Showcases Work in London ⭐️

"A few weeks ago, I had the exciting opportunity to exhibit my artwork in London after being invited by BIC. It was a fantastic experience and a real honour to be the youngest artist displaying work in the gallery.
During the event, I met many talented and well-known artists from across the creative industry. One of the highlights was meeting an artist whom I had recently featured on my own artist page. To make the experience even more memorable, they now follow me on Instagram!
The exhibition provided a valuable opportunity to share my work with a wider audience, learn from experienced artists, and gain inspiration from the incredible range of artwork on display. It was an unforgettable experience that has motivated me to continue developing my artistic skills and pursuing new creative opportunities.
I am very grateful to BIC for inviting me and giving me the chance to be part of such a special event"
