Autumn 2011 Edition of ‘Pulse’ Holyhead’s Termly Magazine

I cannot believe that we are already approaching the end of the first term of the new academic year, our first as an Academy! The time has flown by yet again and we appear to have crammed such a lot of activity into these autumn weeks.

As usual at this time of year I have great pleasure in introducing to you our new Head Girl and Head Boy. They are Kim Nguyen and Abdul Hye. They will be ably assisted by Tallulah Christian-Doherty and Samantha Jones as Deputy Head Girls and by Jermoni Graham and Ajaypal Flore as Deputy Head Boys respectively.

All of these students have performed exceptionally well over the past few months and thoroughly deserve the accolades that have been bestowed upon them. They have the full support of all staff and students and we wish them very well in the months ahead. They will be helped in their work by a superb team of Senior Students who have been doing fantastic work in helping us to run the school since September. I am sure all members of the Holyhead Community wish them well.

I am also very proud to present to you another action packed edition of our Pulse magazine. There are many highlights including news of our new links with the BBC; the Holyhead Big Band performance at the Symphony Hall; Shakespeare at the Old Rep; our Black History Showcase; Sports News; Business and Enterprise events; Year 11 Work Experience and much, much more.

There are also reports from each College about how the new academic year has begun for them. I am sure you will agree this is another bumper edition. I would like to thank all students and staff who have reported on the events so enthusiastically. Particular congratulations must go to Junior Grant, our Web Designer, who has yet again worked so hard to get this magazine to the printers on schedule. May I take the opportunity to thank you for your support once again and wish you a Merry Christmas holiday and a happy New Year for 2012.
