The pastAutumnTerm hasbeenincrediblybusy and

it is hard to believe thatChristmas and 2013 isnearly upon us.As always, the monthssince September haveseen many successes.Perhaps the highlight wasDouble Helix appearing atthe Royal Albert Hall inNovember and supportedby nearly one hundred par-ents, staff and students.Our first Academy AwardsEvening held on 7thDecember at St GeorgeʼsPark was a fantasticevening with an inspira-tional speech by DanHopwood.As we near the end of2012, on a sad note wehave to say farewell to MrsHulcoop, who has decidedto retire after eighteenyears of service to The deFerrers High School,Specialist TechnologyCollege and now Academy.Mrs Hulcoop has simplybeen a wonderful teacherand colleague and will begreatly missed by all. Wewish her a rewarding retire-ment.Can I take this opportunityto wish you all a very merryChristmas and a fulfillingNew Year.

MY TIME AT THE DE FERRERSACADEMYThe day I arrived at the deFerrers Academy, I knew I would have a lot of funand the good thing is, I am having a lot of fun. I am enjoying all the sub-jects, as all the teachersare very friendly andalways willing to help. All the teachers make surethat we are having no trou-ble at all while doing ourwork and if so, then theyhelp us very nicely. On myfirst day at the Academy, Ifound it very difficult tofind my way as theAcademy is huge, but atthe end with the help ofthe teachers, I found myway at last.I think the food choice in thedining hall is fantasticbecause the foods arehealthy and made with greatcare. Most of all I really likethe choices of clubs in theAcademy. There are allsorts of clubs, you just haveto find your hobby. I like thereading club best so I alwaysgo there. I think we get theaccurate amount of home-work and at least a week todo it which is just correct.The Academy is perfect andin my opinion The de FerrersAcademy is the best schoolin the world!

What a sur-prise he had when hecame along to his firstsession with the Choir tofind thirty-four studentswho performed Thrillerand The Climb superbly!Mrs Tunstall, with the help ofthe Year 10 students, hadworked wonderfully with thenew choir members who hadlearned the signs to these twosongs really well, but werekeen to learn something new.It is not only great to see somany Year 7 students comingalong but also some newmembers from Year 8 andYear 9. It is fantastic to see so manystudents involved with theChoir this year and, althoughit makes rehearsals a littlechallenging, it has brought anew vibe to the Choir with somany new members eager tolearn.The second half of this termwill be our busiest period yetas the Choir are involved inseven different performancesboth within the Academy andin the local community. Afterreprising our performance ofThriller from Celebrate in Sign

My AcademyThe de FerrersAcademy is great.Thereʼs loads to doand loads of greatsubjects, such asArt, DT, Science,Geography, a rangeof P.E. activities,History, Drama, L2,PSHE and muchmore.

THE DE FERRERSMOCADEMYOne score and fifteen days ago, our mo-fathers brought forth to this Academy a newnotion, conceived in charity, and dedicatedto the proposition of improving awarenessabout men's health. 'Movember' works tochange established habits and attitudes menhave about their health, to educate menabout the health risks they face, and to acton that knowledge, thereby increasing thechances of early detection, diagnosis andeffective treatment.Sixteen staff membersgrew moustaches duringthe month of 'Movember' toraise money for prostatecancer and cancerresearch. It was a difficult time facingthe ridicule of colleagues,and the dismay of our stu-dents. But solace wasfound in the brotherhoodthat developed out of acommon cause and vigor-ous discussion concerningmale grooming. On November the 30th aproud group of men, sport-ing a variety of moustachesof differing shapes andsizes, stood together forthe last time before the callof the razor blade finallyoverpowered them.

At the time of writing wehave managed to raisealmost £450, with studentsthemselves donating £76worth of vivos! Via themoustache, Movemberaims to fulfil its vision ofhaving an everlastingimpact on the face ofmenʼs health, by continuingto spark conversation andspread awareness of menʼshealth. Already we haveheard of other staff wantingto join next year, with plansafoot for a 'trucker' or evena 'caretaker'. Well done tothose who suffered eatinga Krispy Kreme doughnutand finding hundreds andthousands in their mous-tache afterwards, and ahuge thank you to those ofyou who have donated.
