SKY TV FILM ON LOCATION…IN ST BON’S

By Publicity Manager21st May 2018

Sky One arts and culture show, ‘What’s Up TV’  came in to film on Friday afternoon. May 18, and chatted to former Headboy, Chris Achiampong, for an item on apprenticeships.

The researcher of the programme, Sammy Njuguna, contacted school to arrange the interview and we were happy to accommodate as Sammy too is a former pupil, leaving in 2011.

Chris, who now works for giants, IMB,  spoke about why he chose an apprenticeship over going to university and why gaining experience, earning a salary as well as IBM paying for him to study for a degree at university one day a week is the best option for him. Sounds ideal!

The show is due to be broadcast at the end of the summer and we will post details when we get a date.

MEDALS GALORE!

By Publicity Manager14th May 2018
Mr Fouabi’s Friday after school Karate club  – St Bon’s Wadoryu –   that’s roughly translated as  ‘the way of peace’,  participated in their first tournament yesterday, May 13, at Featherstone High School in Southall, and came away positively clanking with all the medals they won.
From the  27  fighters  registered we obtained 8 medals.
The categories were Karate, Kata, Jiu jitsu and MMA each giving 3 medals (gold ,silver and bronze.)
We won in Kata, Karate and Jiu Jitsu but unfortunately our youngest champion, Julian, could not get to the finals as he got hurt. He was nonetheless given the “Best Warrior Spirit” for discipline, respect, showmanship and high technique. He was  really grateful and said: “I listened to everything my coach said and just applied it!”
Mr Fouabi trained with Sensei Kipre Allou  of the ASBL Woluwe Wadoryu. He also learned the basics of different martial  arts including African wrestling. He has a second degree black belt in Wadoryu and has more than  20 years of martial arts experience.

COUNTDOWN TO NUMERACY DAY

By Publicity Manager14th May 2018

YOUR number could well and truly be up this Wednesday, May 16, as students participate in the UK’s first ever National Numeracy Day.

It will become an annual celebration of the importance of numbers in everyday life and will bring together individuals, employers, teachers and influencers to improve numeracy.

Poor numeracy can affect people’s lives and the wider economy and that needs to change.

In a bid to increase confidence in students, they will be given challenges in class with prizes given out. Every teacher in school will be participating and promoting numeracy in lessons with short activities, discussions or videos.

Curriculum Leader of Numeracy at St Bonaventure’s, Miss Murphy, went on to explain: “I want maths to become fun and part of our everyday life. Parents can get involved too by looking at supermarket deals and showing their children the savings to be made.

“I have lots of fun activities planned and I hope that our students benefit from knowing how to use numbers well. It will be a chance for them to improve their skills, learn new ways to work with numbers, be challenged, ask questions and above all not be scared of maths and have fun. Wednesday should be fantastic.”

WE WIN JERMAINE DEFOE TOURNAMENT

By Publicity Manager8th May 2018

Whilst we were all off enjoying the glorious sunshine of the Bank Holiday yesterday, May 7, fifteen of our Year  8 football players took part in the Jermaine Defoe Foundation tournament in Romford.

We had two teams competing St Bon’s 1 and St Bon’s 2 and the charity matches raised £225 for homeless people and vulnerable children.

For St Bon’s 1 Nana Akyaew and Tashawn Adams were the goal scorers and Stefan Aiwone made some excellent saves in goal.

St Bon’s 2 were undefeated all day which meant that Mekhi Charles-Armstrong got to lift the huge JDF trophy and bring it home to Boleyn Road and our glittering display cabinet in Reception. 

Zinnell Royes was in top goal scoring form and Joel Mputu won ‘The Player of the  Tournament’ accolade and received a personal award and trophy from Jermaine himself.

After the event, PE teacher, Mr Firth presented former Bonaventurian Jermaine with a gold coloured 140th anniversary commemorative tie.

What a fantastic result!

Thanks to Mr Firth for giving up bis Bank Holiday for his students too.
