Christmas Card Campaign 2020

The sixth form at St Clement Danes School organised their annual Christmas Card Campaign, albeit in a slightly different format this year. The Christmas Card Campaign aims to support the elderly and vulnerable members of our local community. The sixth form Charities Committee teamed up with local care providers, Sunrise and Beaumont, and Christchurch to help organise and deliver Christmas Cards to local residents who may be without family and friends nearby, with some facing the heart-breaking reality of Christmas all alone this year. The school were provided with a list of names and those students who expressed an interest in signing up for the campaign were asked to bring in a signed Christmas Card for their allocated card recipient. Due to covid-19 the cards were stored, untouched, for at least 72 hours before being delivered to the relevant care home or church. All staff and students involved in the campaign ensured that they adhered to the necessary covid-19 safeguarding procedures. Thank you to Mrs Edwards, Assistant Director of Sixth Form and our Charities Committee in their organisation of this special campaign. It was wonderful to see how many students became involved, showing their kindness and compassion for those around them most in need of comfort, particularly at this time of year.

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
