Each year our history department runs a competition to encourage our students to research and learn about an important part of our history. The topic changes each year to reflect landmark occasions in Gibraltar. This year the students were tasked to research the history of our school which is celebrating its 50th birthday. The winners were: 1st prize -Elsie Griffiths and Erin Murray 2nd prize - Ayla Campbell Highly commended - Yarah Matos Highly commended - Daniella Vinales and Arianne Lopez-Trico Highly commended - Lauren Clinton Highly commended - Lauren Montado We celebrated the following awards also. These were: The Alistair Beanland geography award - Leah Tryb The Lee Figueras award - Nate Pereira The Jenise Payas maths award - Dylan Risso We also took the opportunity to introduce the new head boy and the responsibility team to the students.
Bayside School, at the old site on Bayside Road, opened its doors as a modern comprehensive school in September 1972. This academic year is the school's 50th anniversary and we want to celebrate this important birthday with an event which brings our school community together.
We will be selling food and drinks and all the proceeds of these sales will be donated to three different charities. Tickets are available on https://www.buytickets.gi/events/bayside-50th-anniversary-653 Today students and teachers participated in Bayside’s 2nd Dapper Day and raised over £200 for Clubhouse Gibraltar in support of the Gentleman’s Ride Gibraltar. Prizes for most dapper student and teacher went to Gael Diaz and Paul Perez respectively.
Well done to all those who supported this initiative. Bayside organised a funfair on the podium to celebrate King Charles III's coronation. We had a number of fun activites as well as some baked goodies which we sold to raise money for different charities which the school supports. Luckily we also had a great deal of volunteers who were willing to give up their time to help make it a great day for our young people - in keeping with the King's drive to volunteer your time! Thanks everyone for their efforts.
Star Wars Day proved to be great fun! Some staff and students dressed up and all Key Stage 3 form classes participated in the lightsaber competition. Each form class made a lightsaber with upcycled materials and the form tutors competed against each other. Ms Bishop from year 8 and Mr Duarte from year 7 were the finalists with Ms Bishop the ultimate winner. The winning form class then partook of the goodies inside the Death Star piñata carefully made by Mr Osborne. It was all great fun and an opportunity to have a laugh.
Bayside were approached by Bishop Fitzgerald to work on this project. Bishop Fitzgerald had an internal competition where the students had to design a well-being bench. A winner was selected from each year group - years 3, 4, 5 and 6. Our A-Level art students then recreated each of the winning designs on a bench.
It was lovely to work with our colleagues in Bishop Fitzgerald and for our students to showcase their work. I would like to thank all the parents and pupils for attending our options talk and the attached subjects fair. We hope it was useful to our students and helps them make the best possible choices. Many of you attended the open evening on revision and study tips. Please find a pdf of the presentation attached here.
