Learning Resource Centre Activities

There has been a flurry of activities in the Learning Resource Centre (LRC) throughout the month of May.

SCD Carnegie Club:

The month started with the SCD Carnegie Club meeting to read and review a variety of books nominated for The Yoto Carnegie Medal for Writing Shortlist 2023. The Yoto Carnegie Shadowing Scheme is a national reading for pleasure initiative that invites young people to read a shortlist of nominated books and vote for their favourite book to win the Shadowers’ Choice Awards which are announced alongside the Medal winners at the annual winners’ ceremony. This year we are enjoying reading books based on Greek mythology, as well as those about family changes, friendships, secrets and betrayal. More information can be found here:

Year 7 Reading Challenge:

This term we are asking our current Year 7 students to become Reading Ambassadors by choosing to read and review a book that is new to them which they have borrowed from the LRC. These recommendations will then be displayed in the form rooms of the new Year 7 students when they join the school in September.

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
