Congratulations to James Vinet, year 12, for winning the UK Youth Parliament essay competition on ‘Education and Learning: school/college and access to university and apprenticeships’. He will be delivering a short address from the dispatch box in the House of Commons on 28th February 2025 and attending the UKOTA Youth Summit. Well done!  Our year 11 and 12 students, and the teachers who supported them, raised £400 for Cancer Relief Gibraltar and £400 for Gibraltar Alzheimer's & Dementia Society. Our students recognise the valuable work done by these charities and wanted to show their appreciation for the work that they do. The annual spinathon in aid of Students4Students took place in the last week of term once again. It was hugely supported by staff, students and the local community. This year we had Government and opposition ministers coming in to cycle and supporting this worthwhile student initiative as well as other well known local personalities. Thank you to the Companies who sponsored the students cycling - Mill Pharmacy, Sharrock Shand, World Trade Center and TSN. Thank also to the GSLP and the GSD for their generous donations. Our year 12 students and some of our teachers, with the collaboration of NatWest Bank Gibraltar whose workers volunteered to help us, packed 4 bags for 350 families. It was remarkably rewarding to be able to give back to the community in this way and one of the many highlights of this festive week. A thanks to Bassadone Motors who lends us the space and to Monteverde & Sons who lend us a vehicle. Community effort!
Our yearly Christmas Door competition saw some lovely creations once again. We asked for the classes to remember to 'reuse' rather than use new resources and points were awarded for the more sustainable creations. The results were as follows:
                        A big THANK YOU to the SEN Department for their wonderful Christmas Fayre which showcased our students' work and our team's dedication. Massive shout-out to our wonderful SNLSAs who truly wanted to make it work and volunteered their time so generously! It was also wonderful to have the Darts Association set up two boards and contribute to our charity drive. Our very own Shane Martinez played all afternoon against all the challengers and was supported by his teammates from the Gibraltar Team. A big shout-out to the Gibraltar Darts Association!
In November Bayside School participated in UK Parliament Week and in the Make Your Mark Ballot. Our year 12 and 13 students wrote some interesting questions and a group of them posed these questions to Mr Speaker as part of a wider discussion.  This year, they asked schools to take part in a brand-new initiative called the ‘Make Your Mark Vote’. This is a consultation for 11 to 18 year olds within the British Overseas Territories to decide the topic their Youth Representatives will raise during the UK Youth Parliament sitting, at a special segment dedicated to the Overseas Territories. These are the results from our school:   Bayside was very lucky to have Sir Lindsay Hoyle himself present the certificates to our students. He was able to spend some time with us and answer our students' questions. We absolutely loved having him visit us and hope he can do so again in the future.  Well done to all the students who competed in this competition and especially the finalists. Well done to the winners!  Great work done by Mr Parral and Mr Mauro to promote better 'men's health' and the Movember movement! Well done to them and thank you to all our students for their support.  |
