Ousedale School
Monday 28th February 2011
Year 10 and 11 played host to Mrs A Waterhouse from Willen Hospice today in assembly. She was invited in to receive a cheque on behalf of the school. This followed an amazing effort by students in Charities Week with all sorts of fund-raising activities happening. The result was that we were able to give a staggering £2120.00 to the Hospice this year! Students were told that Willen Hospice does great work and that only 25% of the 4 million pounds it costs to run comes from the NHS – all the rest comes from charitable donations and events such as Ousedale’s. The cheque was presented by Emmett and Hannah in Year 11 and was gratefully received. Congratulations to all students and staff who made this possible.
Eco-centre construction
The Eco-centre has started to take shape which, when finished, will provide Ousedale students and partner organisations with a state of the art facility. The work that will take place in the centre will be based around understanding the environmental challenges facing our modern day, including scientific, land-based and geographical concerns.
The building construction started on the 28th February with Headteacher Sue Carbert, attended by Paul Collins the Chair of Governors, Ian Carman the Mayor of Newport Pagnell and Andy Burton Senior Deputy Headteacher, digging the first foundations. To date the build has progressed to completion of the steel super-structure and installation of the concrete beams. Once finished the centre will boast modern energy saving photo-voltaic plates and conform to the latest energy conservation building specifications.
We hope to take ownership of the centre by the end of the summer term.
CAST IRON CATERING
“The best party food ever”
“People loved your food and the cast iron woks. It was lovely for me to leave everything in your efficient hands and a pleasure to have you all here – you blended in like part of the family. I can't believe how reasonable your costs were and would have no hesitation in recommending you. Many thanks.” Liz
