Red Nose Day - Doing something funny for money!

We have launched Red Nose Day in today's assembly. The whole school will be dressing as Heroes and Villains on Friday, collecting money for Comic Relief Amongst many other fundraising activities, we have pupils cycling 13 miles, using only their right hand for a day, greeting people in foreign languages, sponsored silences, a Wii Party championship and cake sales. On Friday we will be taken over by a regiment of soldiers, Mutant Ninja Turtles, a range of historical baddies and inspirational characters. I'm dressing as Jean Grey, the X-Men's Phoenix, although the wig ways a tonne. The school raised a total of £471 for Children in Need, we hope to exceed that amount following this week's efforts. I'd love to present the 'Big Cheque' live on TV, so we had better raise a decent sum to show off!

BBC Blast comes to Clitheroe

The BBC Blast team are in Clitheroe.  Blast is a place for teenagers to be creative, both online and in workshops around the UK. 

If you are into film, TV, dance, fashion, photography, theatre or radio, and you are in the Ribble Valley/ Lancashire area, you can meet the Blast team and get involved with the projects ranging from animation to sports journalism.

Last week the team visited Bowland High School, where pupils were able to learn new skills including video editing and facial morphing!

This week Blast is at the North Street Car Park and The Grand (click here for site).  The workshops are open to teenagers aged 13-19.
