Year 8 Design Technology students have just completed their textiles project with Ms Belworthy. They made some fabulous cushions based on their favourite snacks or invented their own. They demonstrated their abilities in both hand and machine sewing, as well as their design skills.
Well done Year 8!

Area Athletics Action!

Dawlish College hit the track at Exeter Arena for our annual athletics championship organised by the brilliant Mrs Chantry.

We took 36 students from Year 7-10 to compete against 14 other schools in the schools annual athletics championships.

The students did not disappoint and were model students throughout the event.

ALL competitors deserve a big round of applause for their efforts and attitude during this day - they were a credit to the school.

All 6 of our 100m athletes placed in the strong finals - with Jack coming 1st and achieving an area record with 11.9s, Scarlet 2nd, Lily 4th, Mia, Junior and Prince coming 5th overall.

Holly came 7th in the 200m Inter girls race and Ella 6th in the 300m.

In the 400m Joe came 2nd and Logan 4th in the finals.

Davi, Hollie and Ella competing in the finals for 200m and 300m.
Anna placed 2nd in the 1500m.

Molly came 2nd in Javelin, Edison 3rd in High jump, Moss 4th in Long jump, Leo 1st in Triple Jump and Megan 2nd in Long jump.

5 of the 6 relay teams earned a place in the relay finals with the Inter girls fighting hard to achieve 2nd place, Year 7 girls 4th, Year 7 boys 6th, Junior Boys came 2nd and Inter boys came 6th.

Our Year 10 students turned up the heat in the kitchen this week! Using generous donations from the programme, they mastered the art of the perfect, golden-brown crispy salmon fishcake. A huge thank you to the for providing the fresh ingredients that make these hands-on culinary lessons possible. Our aspiring chefs did a fantastic job! 👩‍🍳👨‍🍳

Just before Easter, students from the Music Department joined other schools within the Ivy Education Trust to perform an evening of original music at the Langstone Cliff Hotel. They had spent several weeks working with Pat and Elfyn from Sonopera, who guided them in creating their own group composition. Our students were also asked to form the 'House Band' and accompany the primary schools with their performances. Their confidence and professionalism throughout the event were outstanding - well done!
