Congratulations must go to the Cove School Girls Active Moonwalk 2010 Team who are the First Ever School Team in England to Take Part in the Event!

On Saturday 15th May, at Midnight, this group of Year 10 and 11 students and staff set off in London to become the first ever school in England to take part in the Playtex Moonwalk to raise funds for Breast Cancer Charity.

The students had been training hard and were inspired by Miss Tribe to take up the Challenge as part of the Girls Active Initiative.  The Girls' participation is certainly inspirational and is a unique opportunity to raise money for a worthy cause whilst remembering those we have lost to this terrible disease.

An online fundraising page has been set up for the Cove School Moonwalk Team. The address for the page is www.walkthewalkfundraising.org/cove_school_girls_active_moonwalk_team_2010

Members of the team include: Naomi Blackmore Holden, Paige Carpenter, Rosie Chambers, Beth Foster, Paige Gibbons, Melleah Gunn, Millie Hart, Beth Le Guarde, Rhiannon Matthews, Sieva Nurueva, Laura Paggett, Zoe Payne, Ellie Stone and teachers - Paula Hurst, Mary Dagg, Organiser Niki Tribe and Headteacher Megan Jones!

Cove School Girls Active 'Dance Off' Event was a great success and attracted pupils from years 7 - 10.  All of which performed in front of a judging panel to get through to the Dance Off Final. 

The winning performance was a Contemporary Dance choreographed and performed by year 7 and 8 pupils.  The Event also raised money to go towards the Girls Active Charity Walk the Walk.

Olympic Star visits Cove School and Inspires Students!

Olympic Champion David Hemery smashed the world record to win the 400m hurdles at the Mexico City Olympics and is one of the Greatest British Olympic Hurdlers of all time. 

David took time out of his busy schedule to spend two full days at the School and work with Teaching Staff and Students from Years 7 and 11.  He spoke of the difficulties he had faced at school and how he had coped with Dyslexia as a child.  He descibed the moment he decided to map his own destiny and how he believes that if you are willing to work hard enough, you can achieve any goal you set yourself.

Olympic Dreams Come True for Cove Student Rebecca Wing

The summer of 2008 was an exciting time for the school as Becky Wing, Year 11 student, represented Team GB at the Beijing Olympics.   Rebecca Wing is among the brightest young stars of British gymnastics. Part of a new wave of very talented and exciting gymnasts, Becky is an extremely stylish, mature and elegant young performer who stands out for her high level skills, great dance ability, and for the beautiful quality of her work. Hers is undoubtedly a name to look out for in the build-up to the 2012 Olympics.

Another notable success in November 2008 was when Jordan Finney attended the Young Ambassador Conference at Stamford Bridge, Chelsea. Jordan met several Olympians and made a great contribution to the day.

2010 Ambassador Developments: Joanna Ley is now representing Cove School as the Olympic Silver Ambassador for the lead up to the London 2012 Olympics.  Joanna has already presented Olympic themed assemblies across the whole school to inspire her peers and teachers alike.  Joanna will be working alongside the Physical Education Team in promoting the Olympic Ideals and organising events for the Link Junior Schools to attend.
