Weekly round up from the Principal

It gives me great pleasure to congratulate this week’s Students of the Week!

Year 7: Connor M

Year 8: Marshal A

Year 9: Amelia H

Year 10: Grace M

Year 11: Charlotte F

Whilst each have their individual reasons for being nominated, each and every one have impressed us at the College so far this year and should be extremely proud of their achievements. Well done for being such wonderful students.

I also want to celebrate our continued sporting successes for students at the College in my update this week. You may have seen from Mr Piper’s weekly newsletter that Mia E has continued to see success as part of England Football: a win and loss versus Germany has been followed by selection for the UEFA Championships squad v Hungary in October. Budding Badminton star Sam P in Year 7 has been selected for Devon and Isis M has been selected for Devon cricket. We also wish Caleb L-S, Ty F, Toby R and Ethan H good luck in their Plymouth Schools football trials. If they are all successful then there will be 14 players from Eggbuckland in various squads. Brilliant news!

Students from across Year 9 were also given the chance to go to Plymouth Launch Pad Live today: Skills Launchpad Plymouth is the biggest careers fair of its kind in the South West, full interactive and exciting stalls from a range of employers and training providers. On their return, students were buzzing from the event and excited to tell me all about it! Thanks to our Careers team for organising this and to our staff for supporting the trip.
