Business and Enterprise
In line with Global Entrepreneurship Week 2011, students in Year 9 were challenged to come up with a business idea that they feel passionately about. Not only did this idea have to be real and viable as a business, but it had to be original and innovative. This idea would then be submitted to a brand new enterprise scheme called “TeenBiz”.
TeenBiz is the UK's first business start up scheme aimed at teens 13-18, started by Claire Young who is an Entrepreneur and businesswoman.
“TeenBiz aims to provide talented entrepreneurs a step on the ladder and over the next 3 years we aim to help 100 new businesses...”
There was a huge response to the competition within the year group, but only one idea could be picked for submission in the scheme’s very first month. Priscilla Tshimuanga, 9I was our first submission, with her absolutely fantastic idea revolving around custom fashion and a unique network of designers. We wish her good luck and inspiration with her potential business.
Keep a look out over the next year as more students are submitted for this amazing entrepreneurial opportunity!

Year 9 Christmas Reward Trip to Cineworld, Bexleyheath
Due to a problem with the original trip date (9th December), we have decided to reschedule the year 9 reward trip to happen on Monday 12th December. This will not change any trip costing or any other detail, bar the actual date itself.
Students are therefore reminded that they should bring normal books for lessons on the 9th December and be prepared for a normal day of learning at school, but should leave books for lesson 3, 4 and 6 at home on Monday 12th. Students will have late lunch on this day (1.30pm)
Achievements
2011 -2011 has been an amazing year. We have achieved excellent attendance figures and the tracking has been respectable overall.
Phoebe Franklin broke her 2011 javelin record this Sports Day at the Erith stadium.
A large number of then, year 8s were involved in the extremely successful “Wiz” production earlier this year. It was a resounding success that year 8 supported fully!
A huge thanks to our Year 8 students who performed in the music concert and musical events over the year. Your contributions are appreciated and loved by all.
Several Year 8 students also made up the incredible “St. Catherine’s Glee club”. These performers have achieved great things in the mere 4 weeks that they have existed. Not only have they succeeded in the regional heats for the Jack Petchey competition, but were asked to perform at the Orchard Theatre in Dartford. It’s brilliant to see so much creativity in our year group.
To top things off, Year 9 will be celebrating their great achievements with an incredible trip to Eurodisney next year! The Year 9 students will be taking a trip by coach to the park for a 2 day visit.
