LSA Teaching Assistant JCA Job Description May 12

A team of runners from Hans Price Academy called the ‘Hans Price Hunnies’ ran, walked and crawled the 5KM Race for Life on Weston-super-Mare Beach.

Over 40 students from yrs 7, 8 & 9 plus two parents and approximately 15 female members of staff ran in this charity event in aid of Cancer research.

On the day of the run the team wore their specially designed T-Shirts that have been sponsored by Charles Walker of Rapide System Supplies, but to raise further funds the academy staged a ‘Wear Pink Day.’ If staff or students paid £1 they could wear pink for the day and they hoped to raise around £800.

Sarah Hunter, Year 8 Achievement Mentor said, “Sadly cancer is a disease that touches all of us if not directly but indirectly and so it is a charity most of us can associate with.  This is a great fun event for our staff and students to get involved with but I feel it is important to raise the awareness of this disease and also the amazing work the charity undertakes to combat it with our students.”

Last year Emily Lumbard, Yr 8 Bristol Brunel Academy student, won an award for writing ‘The Witness’ at the regional Young Crime Writers of the Year Awards and this year Emily was awarded a special prize for ‘Don’t Look Back’ another story penned by the budding novelist.

Emily’s prize was a book token and a master class from a top crime novelist.

This year’s awards ceremony took place on Monday 30th April at Bath Central Library. Family friends and representatives from the academy were in attendance to see Emily pick up her prize.

Well done Emily!!

Fourteen Sixth Form Performing Arts students have been touring local primary schools with their Theatre in Education (TIE) production of Evacuees, based around the experiences of children evacuated from Bristol during World War II.

They visited Hillfields Primary, Begbrook Primary, Summerhill Junior and Oldbury Court Primary on the 3rd and 4th of May. The performances were greeted with very positive reactions from all of the schools with the Sixth Form students really engaging and educating their young audience. The pupils were also invited and encouraged to take part at different times during the play both acting and singing.

The students have since received thank you letters from some of the primary pupils, with some wonderful responses.

“It was Mind blowing”

“Thank you for your entertaining, outstanding and good performance.”

“Thank you for an amazing show.”

“During the play you connected powerfully with my emotions.”

“Thank you for your performance it was the best in the world.”
