Chatter 23 - Autumn 2022

Written by The Chatter Team

DCGS Chatter members have worked incredibly hard on creating this edition of the school newspaper for you, bringing you a variety of articles from members of the team across the school community in our tribute edition to Queen Elizabeth.

We have, as always, so many fangtastic articles within this edition. We hope you have as much fun reading it, as we have had putting this edition together for you. We have had reporters focusing on the various events that have been held across the school, a spooky short story & our competition poem winners, news on the amazing amount raised at the book fair and we have also have lots of interesting articles on Queen Elizabeth, including her IB learner profile and King Charles. 

If anyone would like to join the Chatter team, we meet in the library twice a week at lunchtime, find out more details by emailing Mrs Cronin, Mrs Finlay, Mrs Roger or asking your mentor or head of year when we return. All students from across the school & staff are very welcome, if you aren't very good at writing, we always need a hand at new ideas editing, page design or you could create some art! 

Chatter would like to wish all DCGS students, staff, the PTA and their families a safe & happy half term. The Chatter team would like you to all have a good well-earned rest over the holidays, so grab a warm autumn drink or a bowl of pumpkin soup and enjoy Chatter 23.

Year 13

Most of our Year 13 DofE participants are in the final juncture of their Silver DofE award chasing up their assessor reports for their Volunteering, Physical and Skills activities which they have been pursuing over the past 12 months.
Congratulations to the six participants out of 25, who have also completed their Bronze award in Summer 2022 and who will be receiving their award in March 2023 at our presentation evening (date to be confirmed). They are Febin D’Silva, Eloise Evans, Jacob Hyland, Joseph Sykes, Bethany Tebbutt-Ford and Ryan Vincent.

Year 12

A whopping 37 year 12 students have now been enrolled on the Silver Duke of Edinburgh award program for 2022/2023 and we wish them well as they begin their quest to search for and embark upon their chosen Volunteering, Physical and Skills activities. They have all been set up in a Google classroom where all of their resources are posted including their training program. Regular weekly training begins in November and will continue until the practice and qualifying expeditions in the summer term.
All students MUST ensure to get their 12-month sections started ASAP so that they are finished by this time next year and it does not interfere with IB mocks or other pressing deadlines.

Thursday 29 September 2022
ADM Computing, Canterbury Archaeological Trust, On Architecture, Border Force, right through to Pfizer and Vattenfall Energy were present at our Exhibition Careers Fair 2022. Dane Court students had the opportunity to gather information, speak to employers and try out exhibition pieces as part of our careers fair. After a four year gap, the variety of local, national and international businesses, organisations, and higher education training providers who attended our careers fair yesterday, was broad and enlightening. They were able to give students insight into a variety of industry careers and opportunities open to them, and the pathways that will take them there. Dane Court would like to thank all exhibitors for their valuable time and Education Business Partnership Kent for arranging the event.
