Tom Whitfield, Aiden Hyde, Ben Peacockand Josh Wood have represented de Ferrers inbasketball since the formation of their team fiveyears ago. “It was my first team and you couldsee the potential and their level of commitmentfrom the very first lunch time training session inSeptember 2005,” said Mr Hand.Some friendly games wereorganised when the studentswere in Year 9 and the teamwas entered into a DistrictCompetition. The team wonwith ease and it was amazingto watch how good it was fromthe word go. Since that daythe team has been involved ina countless number of games,upwards of fifty fixtures, vary-ing from Burton and District

League games to CountyMatches and NationalMatches. It is reigningStaffordshire CountyChampion three years runningand in five years has only lostone game! It was recentlyknocked out of the NationalCup by a team that is rankedthird in the UK.De Ferrers would like to thankall four of the students for theircommitment to the college andwe wish them the very best ofluck for their exams in thesummer. They are to play onelast game on Tuesday March30th at de Ferrers (Sports Hall)in yet another StaffordshireCounty final, 4pm tip off. Weurge anyone who is free thatevening to come and witnessan excellent display of CollegeBasketball.

SKI AUSTRIA 2010In February half term seventyone students and nine staffwent on a skiing holiday to thebeautiful resort of Alpendorf inthe Amade Ski region nearSalzburg. This is the collegeʼsthird skiing trip to Austria andas on previous occasions itwas a complete success.Following our long coach jour-ney we arrived at our accom-modation “The GasthofMulthaler” in Kuchl and weremet by Franz and Elsa, theowners. They immediatelyadopted us and proceeded toprovide us with excellent foodand high quality accommoda-tion.During the week the studentsworked hard with their skiinstructors to improve their skiingability. It was so great to onceagain see complete beginnersmaster the art of skiing, even ifslowly, by the end of the week.Of course the week is not com-plete without entertainment andfun was had by all at the “AquaSalza” swimming pool in Golling,where the outdoor pool provedpopular. The students also visit-ed the Eis Arena in Salzburgwhere many an unintentionalleap, twist, turn and elaboratepair work were witnessed by thestaff judging panel.Eventually the early mornings(6.30am) and early nights (yes,by 10.30pm) came to an endand a weary group set back toEngland. Throughout the trip thestudents were an absolute creditto the college and everyone whocame into contact with us com-mented on their level of polite-ness, conduct and respect.

Plans are already in place torepeat the whole experienceagain next February. For moredetails please contact MrsJeffery.

NNOOTT FFOORR GGIIRRLLSS??So, careers in engineering are just formen are they? Eight female studentsfrom de Ferrers found this not to be thecase when they were invited to take thepart in the ʻGirls into EngineeringWorkshops for Girlsʼ.Rising Design and Technology stars fromboth Year 8 and 9 (Hannah Lewis, SophieRichardson, Rebekkah Lycett, DanielleColtman, Phillippa Wilkinson, IsobelWood, Jade Bailey and Laura Bailey)were invited to Staffordshire University totake part in an activity day, designed toattract girls to careers into engineering.

The activity day consisted of three engi-neering workshops and a presentation. It included practical, hands-on workshopsaimed at inspiring and informing girlsabout the opportunities within engineer-ing. Students also had the opportunity towork with female role models from indus-try, who also gave a presentation aimed

at informing the girls about the careeropportunities available to them withinengineering.

Hannah Lewis, currently in Year 9, said ofthe workshop: “My visit was an opportuni-ty that you do not receive everyday. Itwas an interesting experience Iʼmpleased I took on. Before I attended theworkshop I believed engineering was allabout men and cars and had no idea thewide variety of things they covered. ENGINEERING IS FOR GIRLS TOO!”
