Spring 2012 Edition of ‘Pulse’ Holyhead’s Termly Magazine

Spring has definitely arrived at Holyhead and the design of this term’s Pulse Magazine reflects the optimism in the air as we look back on this term and look forward to a summer of success for the school.

I am sure you will agree with me in feeling that once again the students and staff here have crammed so much activity into a relatively short space of time since Christmas.  It is fascinating to read of the work of our STEM Club and Robotics Club; the visit of our celebrity war veterans from the USA; the Young People’s Parliament; the BBC School Report Team and the Our Handsworth Photography Project.  It is also fascinating to hear of the success of many of our students on the separate College News pages.

It is another action-packed edition and I know there is quite a lot of news that has not been included because news deadlines have to be met.  So, if you want to know more about how Holyhead students took over the BBC studios for an edition of Midlands Today or you would like to hear news on what Year 8 students got up to on their recent residential in Cleobury Mortimer, you will need to pick up the next edition of the magazine!

Finally, I must take the opportunity to wish all of our Year 11 and Year 13 students the best of luck in what will be their final few weeks at the school.  Next term will see all of them completing their GCSE or Advanced Level examinations and staff at Holyhead believe that they are about to break all records for attainment.  They deserve total success having worked so hard during their time here.
