As part of an Ash Careers lesson, we took a visit to SNAPs in Bridport, Shoe Lane to see their Toys, Games and Collectibles shop. One of our students caught an interview with Tim using questions we’d planned in class. Tim shared how we can turn our passions and special interests into work when we’re older. Students then selected some interesting products from around the shop to explore and examine and some even completed transactions. We finished with a masterclass in painting miniatures. Thanks Tim and Jamie for inviting us into your lovely shop for our Careers lesson.

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.

Ash class treated themselves to an end of term Breakfast treat in Wetherspoon’s, Bridport. They all ordered their own meals independently, some also caught the local public bus into town. They then walked around the town seeing the new elephant display and finished with a trip to the Library. A great finish to the term.

Ash class split into two groups last week to all enjoy a trip to the farm on Wednesday and Thursday, some students got to meet a goat or two and others did team building games to work towards their Duke of Edinburgh awards We were all spoilt with a lovely lunch provided by Magdelen Farm using the farm’s own produce.

Mountjoy school students got to experience The Wave again thanks to Phrenix and what an amazing day it was for everyone. Despite it being a bit chilly being mid-October everyone managed to get in the water and enjoy some surfing. The instructors were fantastic at supporting the group to take part no matter what their ability. For many of our students this will be a once in a lifetime experience and with The Wave and Phrenix supporting we had enough people in the water to make surfing a possibility for them. Some of our students shared “I was very determined to stand and I got really close” “It was amazing, I loved it so much” “I liked watching the waves” “It was really nice, thank you for letting us go”. It was amazing for the Mountjoy staff to see the smiles, laughter and achievements that each student made some very proud moments!
