Birchfield Harriers success for Stockland Green pupils

Birchfield Harriers success
for Stockland Green pupils
Since the beginning of December
a number of Stockland Green School
students have been
attending an induction programme for
Birchfield
Harriers
Athletics Club.
This programme has run for
eight weeks and has involved
students participating and
stretching themselves both
physically and mentally.
The students have had the
opportunity to participate in
a variety of athletics events
using the top class facilities
at the Alexander Stadium and
Indoor Performance Centre.
Organisers say this has been
an excellent opportunity for
the students to experience
new athletic events.
As a result of the programme,
the club have offered academy places to Year 10 pupils
Roger, Georgina, and Keaton.
PE teacher Mr Wiedeman
said: “This is a fantastic
achievement for the students,
considering the high standards of the Birchfield Harriers.
Successful Stockland Green athletes
Roger, Georgina, and Keaton (Yr 10)
“The five remaining students
Madison, Asia, Tiawana, Ketshia and Tyler, have all been
asked to continue to train
with a view to being offered
a place at the Academy in the
near future.
“Our students have really developed over the eight week
programme and have challenged themselves physically
in a way which many of them
wouldn’t have normally done.
The coaching and facilities
available to them were first
class and we are very proud
of the achievements of all of
our students and are excited
to see these students realise
their potential.’
We have some exceptionally
talented students at Stockland
Green School.

Pick of the month from Tyburn Mail’s
online and facebook pages
Police have reported that a court injunction in the Black Country has virtually
eradicated car cruising in some areas
Anonymous Shame the same can’t be said for around here, every night some form
of idiot racers causing problems. Probably won’t get sorted until someone is either
injured or killed.
Members of a gun-gang in Birmingham have had their prison sentences increased
Mell: Good news keeping the dangerous gangs off the streets for as long as humanly
possible
The Council planning committee has said No again to a second application to replace
ancient shops with a modern building in Erdington High Street
Anonymous: Glad the Council’s planning committee have rejected the latest planning
application for the Erdington High Street.
Redcoat: Yes, keep the old buildings with lots of character than replacing them with
such a boring mass. At least the Council’s planning committee can get some things
right now and again.
A group in Castle Vale is looking into the idea of having an elected community
council to represent the local residents
Moriarty: I believe the residents of Castle Vale voted ‘No’ to a similar project
about 10 years ago. Do these people not listen?.... Or is their greedy little desire
to take an amount of control over the Vale too overwhelming?
Anon: Parish Council all over again. Headed by someone that I think is being
mislead. Lets fight the good fight AGAIN.
Rfpf: So whens the FIRST public meeting on this? And consultation? Ideas?
Concerns? Etc, etc,etc, etc……………………… People are already struggling on
this estate with debt, bedroom tax, higher living bills i can go on and on! WHAT
A VILE IDEA AGAIN
Atticus: Can any of the anti posters actually explain why they are so against
local democracy. The decisions the Community Council would make are being
made by a non-local body at the moment, so why not have them made by local
people?
