SCD finalists of international Wool4School Competition 2019

For the second year running, we are thrilled to announce that two of our Year 12 Fashion and Textiles students have been placed as finalists within the Wool4School Design Competition. Nell Heys and Molly Binns were both selected by the judges for their innovative designs and visual presentations. The judges commented on the outstanding quality of work displayed by the school and the originality of the ideas presented by students.

Nell's multifunctional garment was inspired by her interest in 90s fashion, a multipurpose outfit to be worn at a festival or party. Molly focused on creating a multifunctional garment which would assist with any outdoor activity, designing a coat which can be transformed into a sleeping bag.

Wool4School is an annual student design competition encouraging budding fashion designers to show the UK what they’re made of. The competition invites students to design a multi-functional outfit which truly highlights innovation and creativity as a designer, using a minimum 80% Merino Wool. The outfit must contain a minimum of four pieces. The students are judged on their innovative and creative design, fashion illustration, reference to wool and overall visual presentation.

First launched in Australia in 2012, Wool4School has gone on to involve more than 85,000 students globally, not only learning the fundamentals of fashion design but also exploring the benefits and versatility of wool and the fabrics it creates.

We would like to take this opportunity to congratulate both girls on their achievement.

Year 8 Swimmers Make Waves at County Championships

We are delighted to announce that two of our Year 8 pupils, Sam C and Grace F, have achieved significant success in the pool, qualifying for and competing at the prestigious County Swimming Championships. Qualification for Counties is a major milestone in the swimming world. To be eligible, swimmers must achieve strict published qualifying times and rank within the top 25 competitors in their age group across the entire county. Both students have demonstrated exceptional talent to reach this elite standard. Sam has secured his place in an incredible variety of events, demonstrating his versatility across both sprints and long-distance endurance races. Representing Berkhamsted Swim Club, Sam will be competing at the Westminster Lodge Leisure Centre in St Albans throughout January. His comprehensive schedule includes: Freestyle: 50m, 100m, 200m, 400m, 800m, and 1500m Butterfly: 50m, 100m, and 200m Individual Medley: 100m, 200m, and 400m Matching this high standard of performance is Grace F, who represents the U13 age group. Grace has already secured a fantastic 9th place ranking in the county for the 100m breaststroke. Beyond this individual success, Grace is a dedicated member of Ricky Swim Club and a vital part of the SCD team, regularly representing the school in the Herts League. Reaching this level requires a sustained and high level of commitment. Over the past eight months, both swimmers have balanced intense training schedules and regular licensed galas alongside their academic studies. Their success is a testament not only to their athletic ability but also to their discipline and excellent time management. Please join us in congratulating Grace on her top10 ranking and wis
