wenty Year 7 Newminster pupils have been awarded their Bronze CREST Awards following their successful completion of their science projects.
They presented their work at a joint Newminster and Chantry fair to family, friends, staff and guest judges.
The judges feedback was extremely positive and they recommended that all pupils present their projects at the regional Big Bang Fair at Northumbria University in July.
Well done to our Junior Scientists!
This year has been hugely successful for the Cheviot rugby team. I have already written about the various successes this year but now the season is officially over I would to congratulate all the boys who represented the U13 school team this year. The trophy cabinet is looking extremely healthy once again after successfully winning The County Cup, The TSSSA Cup and the NSB 7’s.
I would also like to take this opportunity to thank all the parents for their continued commitment and support as well as kind donations throughout the year which includes new playing kit, t-shirts and medals. The school has never been so well supported at home and away fixtures so thank you.
The school is now building its reputation nicely and I am hoping to see a high number of new players training next year. The U12’s started off really well this year but due to lack of fixtures their season ended early. As of September they will be the top team and I am already busy sorting fixtures.
If you have played for the school already or are new to rugby please come along and give it a go because the better the commitment the more fixtures we are able to fulfil.
Finally I would like to thank the Head Teachers, all office staff and all staff members who have supported me this year, your help is always appreciated.

Newminster pupils enjoyed their trip to the Northern Stage to see The Sage Academy’s performance of ‘Little Shop of Horrors’.
Niki Pell thought that ‘”all the surprises in the storyline were amazing”. Megan Jones said ‘ I loved it when the plant became human- it really shocked me!’

Y7 & 8 Girls Rugby Tournament
15 May at Druid Park
This was the last contact rugby tournament for the girls this year and both teams played with fantastic commitment and effort. Its really pleasing to see how much progress they’ve made this year. The standard of rugby from all teams involved was particularly high and it was great to see Newminster girls playing at this level. Well done!
There will be one last rugby tournament for all these girls on Monday 6th July on Tynemouth beach! They will be there for almost the full day.
Y8 Cricket Tournament
18
May at Longhirst.
We took 1 boys team and 1 girls team to this event and it was very pleasing to see them play some great cricket despite the pouring rain!
The lads played well in a very high standard tournament and the girls made fantastic progress in their first attempt at the game.
U13s Girls Football League
18 May.
The girls football season has finally drawn to a close on what has undoubtedly been our most successful U13s girls team.
Despite just missing out on winning the league to add to their status of County Cup Finalists, they have played some fantastic football. Much more importantly they have played throughout the competition with unbelievable determination and positive attitude.
This was epitomized on the final 2 nights of the tournament: on the penultimate night with the league title still possible and some key players missing, the available girls said they would rather play and ‘die trying’ than forfeit the game; and on the last night with the league finished and only friendlies to play they insisted on playing.
A wonderful attitude to have!
