Saturn House Reward Trip to North Enfield Foodbank
Issue 10 Autumn Term Friday 20th November 2015 Saturn House Reward Trip to North Enfield Foodbank On the afternoon of Wednesday 15th July seven students from Saturn House or the Transition Phase visited North Enfield Foodbank to present all of the donated food to the Foodbank, on behalf of Saturn House students from Bury and Cambridge Campus’s. While at the Foodbank students also had an opportunity to find out how the Foodbank works and were able to quiz the volunteers on their roles at the Foodbank. When food is donated to the Foodbank it is firstly weighed, and then the foods best before dates are then checked and stored according to date. When a person is referred to the Foodbank (by local services), they receive enough food to provide at least three days worth of meals. An example of a typical food parcel is evident in the photo of the green basket. The people are also given information on other local services and charities which could be of further assistance as well. While at the Foodbank, Saturn Houses food donation was weighed and we had collected a massive 78.2kg worth of food, which was a fantastic amount of food! Thank you to Mr Pomeroy for driving the minibus and attending the trip, to the students who attended: Tala Awatli, Hatice Baglan, Direnc Cifci, Naomi Cudjoe, Enkeleda Gjengaj, Xafsa Moallim and Daina Radu and to last year’s Cambridge Saturn 3 for their excellent effort as a tutor group and to all students and members of staff who donated food for the North Enfield Foodbank.

Mrs M Smith IAG Coordinator Sixth Form Trip to Paris - 5th-7th November 2015 The Sixth Form is buzzing with excitement and fantastic memories of their trip to Paris last week. A mix of Year 12 and 13 students accompanied by a number of staff had an amazing if exhausting time! The itinerary devised by Miss Pelle was a well packed adventure for all. We travelled by luxury double decker coach and crossed to France on the Eurotunnel, a new experience for most students. We stayed at a very comfortable Ibis Hotel in central Paris and arrived late evening. After breakfast on our first day we had a trip on the Bateaux Mouche along the River Seine. We sailed along and saw Paris landmarks from a very different perspective. We were impressed by the flying buttresses on Notre Dame Cathedral, the magnificent sculptures and statues decorating the bridges and buildings with the Eiffel Tower ever present in the skyline on the journey. After lunch we visited the Chateau de Versailles with its beautiful golden railings. Students marvelled at the wonderful paintings and works of art in the many salons. History students were thrilled to be standing in Marie Antoinette’s bedchamber with its elaborate draperies and hangings, and the Hall of Mirrors with the beautiful chandeliers where the Peace Treaty of Versailles was signed on 28 June 1919 at the end of the First World War. On Saturday we departed early for a visit to Disneyland. Students were very excited and the sun shone in anticipation. Great fun was had by all on the various rides. Jon-Paul Lennard said “my favourite was the Aerosmith Rockin’ Rolling Roller Coaster”. Doukan Tutas said “I loved the Aerosmith Ride and the Tower of Terror was quite scary!” Aysel Karakas and Marziye Ozdemir both enjoyed the Disneyland Studio Experience, they said “it was really interesting and showed you behind the scenes and how everything works.” Many photographs were taken with team mascots and we played a French Quiz on the coach on the way home. Everyone had an amazing time - see pictures below and over!

We would like to say a big thank you on behalf of the Student Union to all the Sixth Form Student Managers and Mr McLean who spent hours preparing everything. We’re delighted to announce that the President of the Union this year will be Maryna Voloshyna, a very bright student from Year 12, who we expect great things from over the next two years. Well done Maryna and good luck in your role. This year Shannon Kearns will be the SU Press Officer. She will be responsible for keeping you all updated on events and important news throughout the year. We would also like to say an enormous well done to all the students who have sent off their UCAS applications so far. We're extremely proud of the 6th Form and our students who are applying to University and are looking forward to exciting opportunities after a fantastic year at Edmonton County 6th Form. We would like to say a special congratulations to Kayleigh, Mehmetcan and Taniya who were amongst the first to submit their applications via the UCAS process and have received offers from Lincoln, Kings College and UCL. Offers continue to come in from some of the most prestigious Universities in the country which really makes us excited for the Year 13 students. We’re really fortunate to work with some of the most aspirational and hardworking students in the borough. If we continue to take the advice from our teachers and prepare well for assessments and exams, the summer will have some fantastic results! Taniya Uddin Mehmetcan Goksungar Kayleigh Houlihan Mrs P Wilkinson 6th Form Student Manager - Cambridge Campus SIXTH FORM OPEN EVENING 24th November 2015 6.00 - 8.00pm BURY CAMPUS Visiting Professor of Criminology Addresses ECS 6th Form Students Dr Robin Fletcher, Associate Professor, retired Detective Superintendent with Metropolitan Police and currently, Principal Lecturer in Criminology at Middlesex University came to ECS 6th Form last week and spoke to our students about a career in Policing and its various entry points. He began by telling us that his four children were all previous students of Edmonton County School! Dr Fletcher told anecdotes of his time as a criminal investigator on major murder enquiries and brought with him a selection of old fashioned truncheons and hats that he wore during his different roles in the Metropolitan Police. He mentioned that in future it is likely that all recruits to the Police Force will need a degree in Policing and Criminal Investigation and more likely, master’s qualifications too. He suggested that students should also think about roles in large companies and organisations that have departments in criminal investigation and fraud where policing qualifications are required. He showed slides of old photographs and students were riveted by his stories and insightful information. Mrs P Wilkinson 6th Form Student Manager - Cambridge Campus Kenan Al Nayef and Kerem Erozkal are pictured with Dr Fletcher wearing his hats!
