Duro from 2020Change

Posted on December 19, 2018October 7, 2019 by rebeccaschutze

All three CTK sites were delighted to have Duro from 2020Change come back once again this year and speak to students about the valuable work they do in the local communities. 2020Change was set-up to build the next generation of community, business and political leaders.

Duro spoke with great passion about how he strongly believes that today’s young people have the potential to become tomorrow’s leaders. He stressed that all they need is someone to show them how to use their past experiences as transferable skills and this would allow them to thrive in the corporate world.

Duro also explained to students how he successfully built and sold his first business before deciding to work in the charitable sector.

We hope to see Duro and 2020Change again next year!

Many congratulations to our three Christ the King: St Mary’s students who recently received prestigious achievement awards by the London Borough of Bexley.

Sade Sekoni was awarded the prize for Service to the College Community through her role of Student Governor. Ben Hogan received recognition for academic achievement, and Jekaterina Jekimtseva received an award for the tremendous progress and endeavour she has displayed since joining the College in September 2017. Well done!

Basketball Comes to Christ the King!

Posted on December 11, 2018October 3, 2019 by rebeccaschutze

On Wednesday 5th December 2018 the Year 12 and 13 Basketball team hosted a KCSP Basketball competition in our St Mary’s sports hall. The boys competed in 4 pool games against our Emmanuel site, Colfe’s School, Knights Academy and Bromley South East College.

Slam dunks, three pointers and offensive rebounds abounded as all five teams demonstrated a high level of skill and dedication. The closest fought match, perhaps unsurprisingly, was between the two Christ the King sites; unfortunately for us the Emmanuel team edged the game by one basket.

After the final basket has been slammed, the Knights Academy team had triumphed; fittingly enough as their name is closest sounding to a professional team…

We would like to thank all players for their hard work and dedication in representing the college and staff in helping us prepare. They compete in a range of sports from football to athletics and is always very competitive!

Bonus Pastor Maths Visit

Posted on December 6, 2018October 3, 2019 by rebeccaschutze

A group of 10 students from our partner school, Bonus Pastor, visited the maths department at CTK St Marys to experience a real Maths A Level class.

These students took part in two A Level Maths lessons alongside our Year 12 students covering Trigonometry and Differentiation. They gained valuable insights on the challenge of A Level maths, building upon their existing Trigonometry knowledge with more complex and unstructured A Level questions. They were able to try the new ClassWiz calculators required at A Level and enjoyed taking part in group work using our MultiBoards.
