Juniper class enjoyed a trip to Portland to set sail on the Weymouth waters. We joined our friends in Oak class in the sail boats and headed out across the harbour. It was a great experience for all the boys and was fully accessible for everyone . Staff at the centre were very accommodating and couldn’t do enough for us all. Both Juniper boys got so much out of the hours sail, giving them a sense of freedom and enjoying the wind on their faces, thankfully the weather stayed on our side and we saw the sunshine. We hope to have this experience again in the future.

On Wednesday 17th September, The Bank of Dreams and Nightmares came into Rowan class to carry out a workshop on speech writing. This was a really fun and engaging morning and we all wrote some excellent speeches. Many thanks to Ed, Nick, Diana and Lizzie who came in and made our morning magical. We especially loved the badge making! They will be back in the spring term for another session with our work typed up too!

Elm class had an amazing trip to Rockburn bouldering centre in Bridport! All of us enjoyed exploring a new place. The centre owner Will Martin helped us to stay safe whilst we had a go at climbing. Then we had our snacks in the cafe area. Lastly we had more climbing time, and some of us had a much needed rest on the sofas!

On Wednesday 9th July, the drama ensemble attended a workshop at The Marine Theatre in Lyme. We worked with a group of year 10 drama students from Woodroffe school. We began with some warm up games and then produced a small abstract tableaux to share our thoughts on a Maya Angelou poem- Life doesn’t frighten me. Before leaving we showed off a bit of our Twelfth Night production which was received with great applause. A wonderful morning was had by all.

Our current KS4 and Post 16 enjoyed their Mascarade themed Prom last week. Students arrived in a range of vehicles including, a motorbike, Range Rover and a Ford Mustang. All students partied the night away to a disco and enjoyed buffet and refreshments. This is able to happen because Friends of Mountjoy were able to make a donation to largely pay for the event. Thank you to all the staff for everything they did.
