📚🏆 Senior National Reading Champions Final 🏆📚

Our Burnside Reading Champions had a fantastic day in London competing in the National Final after being crowned Regional Winners! ✨

The team were revising right up until arrival, alongside mascot Burnie the Burnside Reading Gnome 📖🚆 Students also received an amazing collection of contemporary fiction before taking part in photoshoots, media interviews and the final quiz.

After 10 challenging rounds, we were proud to achieve a strong mid-table finish against excellent competition 👏

Congratulations to all students involved on an outstanding achievement. A brilliant day and a fantastic example of ‘Going All In’ 🌟

🌍 Last week, students took part in a Sustainability Assembly, exploring what sustainability means, why it is important, and the simple everyday actions we can all take to make a difference.

Students discussed ways to become more sustainable, including:
🚶 Active travel such as walking, cycling or using public transport
🥪 Reducing waste with reusable lunch containers
♻️ Recycling correctly and reducing unnecessary waste
💡 Saving energy by turning off lights and screens in empty classrooms
💧 Avoiding water waste by turning off taps properly
👕 Buying better, buying less and choosing second-hand or repaired clothing
🌱 Taking part in initiatives such as Meat-Free Mondays

Small changes can make a big difference!
