Youth COP Sparks Passion for Climate Solutions

On 11th of February, several Year 13 Geography students attended a Youth COP event at North Hertfordshire College that focused on climate change issues and sustainability career pathways. Amelie W found the experience very rewarding: 

"I participated in a flood risk and adaptation workshop, which deepened my interest in flood management and raised my awareness of the severity of flooding in Hertfordshire. Later, we joined a climate debate representing different environmental stakeholders. I argued for maintaining Conventional Energy while finding creative ways to reduce carbon emissions, which I found challenging and exciting, especially during negotiations with other groups. After lunch, we explored a sustainability careers fair that showcased a wide range of eco-friendly career paths, providing valuable insights into how I could make a positive environmental impact in my future work. Overall, the day was inspiring and informative. My favourite part was the climate debate, as it fueled my passion for finding collaborative solutions to environmental challenges."

Charities Week 2025

The halls of ¿ìèÊÓÆµ have been buzzing with holiday cheer this week as the annual Charities Week is officially in full swing. As the Autumn Term draws to a close, pupils and staff have united to raise vital funds for three incredible causes: Endometriosis UK, Spread a Smile, and Herts Young ¿ìèÊÓÆµless. The school is alive with the spirit of giving, driven by a jam packed ‘Advent’ schedule designed to get everyone involved in the fundraising efforts. This year’s itinerary has been filled with exciting activities, ranging from pupil led lessons and a "Mystery Bucket" challenge to the competitive excitement of the "Elf Auction" and various competitions. Pupils have also enjoyed the classic "Sponge the Teacher" event and a visit to Santa’s Grotto, ensuring the festive atmosphere is matched only by the community’s generosity. Beyond the classroom activities, pupils have been sharing the festive spirit with the wider community. On 18th December, the SCD Senior Choir paid a special visit to Chorleywood Manor Care ¿ìèÊÓÆµ. The residents were treated to a beautiful selection of Christmas carols, featuring performances by members of the Chamber Choir, Evensong Choir, and the Barbershop Choir. Year 12 pupils Immy and Chrissie noted that "it was a very joyful occasion and it was lovely to see the residents joining in and looking so happy." The success of such a busy week relies heavily on pupil leadership, and the school extends a massive vote of thanks to Year 13 for their incredible hard work and dedication. Their enthusiasm have been the driving force behind this week's fundraising efforts. The week is set to conclude on Friday with the Grand Finale: the highly anticipated Sixth Form Revue, promising a spectacular end to a week of community, charity and celebration.
