The Chatter team have had a truly enlightening time investigating the meaning of Remembrance Day and learning about the impacts of the First World War. One of the most striking discoveries was the sheer number of young boys, of school age, who fought for us to have the world we have today.
We also have an account of the Year 9 trip to Ypres, Belgium, where they visited memorials, cemeteries and museums relating to the war, and they even had a taste of trench life!
The BIG Debate under investigation was, 'War - what is it good for?' Student responses can be read on page 7, and are an eyeopener into what our community think.
Connie and Gregor in Year 7 were the undisputed winners of the Hallowe'en competition and we are delighted to publish the literary works on page 12.
Remember to enter our competition on page 17 where the challenge is to design a Christmas Card, and look out for our Christmas edition coming before the holidays!
Best regards
The Chatter Team

After our under 14s netball ball team won their round at the Kent Netball tournament in Rainham, they were in the Kent finals on Saturday 24 November in Aylesford.

After some very tough competition they came 8th out of all Kent Schools. All girls played exceptionally well and the Dane Court community are so proud of their accomplishment, commitment and team work.

Chatter, the Dane Court student newspaper, welcomes staff and students to our new academic year.
Chatter newspaper is a compilation of articles, reviews and school information written by students from across all our year groups. We are delighted to have the opportunity of working with some of our new Year 7s who have produced some super write-ups, including a wonderful first month update by Oscar in 7S on page 9
We are thrilled to introduce our first competition of the year, created by Erica in 8D. Erica is feeling suitably seasonal and has written a spooky short story to inspire you to write your own. Take a look at page 17 and if your spooky entry is chosen you could win one of two bumper Hallowe'en prize packs!
For any of you who would like to join the Chatter team, or see what we do, you are welcome to come to the library when we meet at 1:45pm on Wednesdays and Fridays.

2018 marks 50 years since the International Baccalaureate community was founded.
In contrast Dane Court Grammar School has been an IB World School for a mere decade.
Nevertheless our students and teachers have benefited from the IB's high standards and innovation in the field of education.

The IB website is currently celebrating their 50 years of successes with the eye-opening IB Stories which presents some of the many achievements of its alumni and dedication of those teaching the Diploma Programme and Career-related Programme.

Here at Dane Court we offer both the Diploma and Career-related Programmes with a wide range of subject choices and a variety of flexible course formats.
