Year 11 & Year 13 Leaving
As the GCSE and A levels have now commenced Year 11 & 13 commenced their revision programme and thus officially marked their ‘leavingof Hayes’.Year 13 held a fantastic Prom at Solomon’s in Tunbridge Wells on Friday 15th May. The students looked wonderful, conducted themselvesbrilliantly and had a great time. A great year group who will be really missed.Year 11 held their final assembly on Wednesday 20th May. They have revision classes before all their exams, but this was an opportunityto mark the end of their compulsory education. Almost all will be continuing their education, most at Hayes. It is a testimony to them thatthey conducted themselves excellently during their last day.We wish both years great success with their exams.

Holocaust Survivor Speaks to Students

“Thank you very much for the fascinating and also terrifying insight into your life experience. Before you had come and talked to us, Nazi Germany and Hitler seemed very hard to believe and understand- it was just something that we studied in class. Now I can appreciate that it was all real and that people like you went through an horrific ordeal just because of your beliefs.”
“I admire your personality and how you don’t agree with staying angry at someone and I think that it is really great that you are able to forgive the soldiers.”
“The most moving part of your tale was when you told us you saw your own mother, sisters, nieces and nephews being shot before your eyes. I know that I myself would never be able to cope as well as you have.”
“I found it very inspirational when you said that the children are the future and that if we tried we could make a difference in the world and make the future better.”
“I personally am very interested in the Holocaust and to have someone talk to me first hand about what happened was so interesting and I consider myself and my school friends very lucky. I wish you and your family the best and thank you again.”

Congratulations to Sian Marks, Lucy Hutchins and Lucy Reeves for organising the event and thanks to all the staff involved in helping them to make the event a roaring success. Special thanks also go to all of the brave models from the Sixth Form without who the event would not have been possible.
C4 Detentions
In addition to students placed in detention for behaviour incidents it will now include students who have failed to attend an 8.00am detention. For example, a student that is late to school without reason or incurs two yellow slips for uniform issues during Monday is given an 8.00am detention for Tuesday. Should the student fail to attend this detention they will be given a C4 (one hour) detention for the Wednesday.
Plans for M block
We hope to arrange for a display of the proposed building in the near future and will publish our plans on the web site. We look forward to more students, staff and parents taking an interest in the development of Hayes as a centre of excellence in education. All we need now is for Mr Osborne to find even more money!!

Return Locker Keys
At this time of year we need to allocate lockers to students who will join Hayes School (Years 7 and 12) in September 2009 – some 500 in total. Consequently we need ALL Year 11 and Year 13 students to empty their lockers and return their keys to us. Any Year 11 Students who are joining the 6th Form will be able to apply for a new locker when they return in September. Their locker will be allocated in one of the 6th Form areas rather than where it is at present.
Students will be able to return their keys at Student Reception during break and lunchtime only on the dates listed below:
- Tuesday 9th June
- Friday 12th June
- Thursday 18th June
- Friday 19th June
If a locker key is not returned by the end of Friday 19th June, the locks will be changed and any contents will be disposed of.

For the first couple of hours everyone was hyperactive and excited, but didn’t realise how tiring it would get as the hours went by. We found it very hard but at midnight when the teachers asked if we wanted to go to sleep, we refused and told them “we came to do a 24 hour table tennis” and that is what we did. We would like to congratulate the people who stayed up all night and also those who stayed for the whole 24 hours. But thank you to those who took part anyway.
We have received great sponsorship from everybody and thanks to everyone who sponsored us, but currently we do not know the exact amount that has been raised. We speak for everyone when we say, we had a great time and loads of fun. Our advice for you is that if you get the chance to do a 24 hour event, then never give up and keep going till the end as the feeling inside once you have finished is amazing (most likely the adrenalin).

Kirkland Rowell Survey Results
1. We need to maintain and continue to improve on our strengths e.g. school discipline, quality of teaching and learning, examination results
2. We need to address identified areas for development (perceived or actual) including careers guidance, the performance of some subjects and punctuality and attendance.
3. We need to continue to involve parents, students and staff in monitoring the school’s performance. We will therefore invite all to contribute to future surveys on an annual basis to allow us to measure improvements. More detailed information from the surveys can be found on the home page of the school website (www.hayes.bromley.sch.uk).
Thank you to all parents, students and staff for completing the surveys and for providing us with such valuable insights and information.

bond? Rebuilding trust - the G20 and beyond”. The debate was chaired by the Bishop of London, Richard Chartres. The Prime Minister was
joined on the platform by the Prime Minister of Australia, Kevin Rudd.
Members of the public were invited to attend the debate and over 2000 people filled St Paul’s Cathedral. Representatives from many
city institutions, charities, universities, colleges and schools were joined by clergy and members of the public and questions from the
audience were put to the panel.
Students gained a valuable insight into the Prime Ministers’ thoughts on the outlook for the global economy and potential solutions to
the current crisis. This insight will hopefully be put to good use in their forthcoming summer examinations, particularly for the three Year
13 students who are continuing with their study of Economics at university.

Music Tour to Croatia
Despite all the busy music-making, there was always time for shopping.After getting used to the somewhat confusing currency of Kuna, we wentround various towns, such as Opatija, to experience Croatian culture(and all the yummy food on offer). The weather was flawless throughoutthe trip, and I’m sure everyone was sorry to leave. It was an incredibleexperience, and I would urge anyone with a voice box to sign up to choirwith haste.
