Today marks Southam College’s participation in a national Holocaust commemoration project, run by the Holocaust charity, Echo Eternal.
As part of the campagin, Southam College are part of Echo Eternal’s Horizons Festival 2021 and we are delighted to present our calendar of events, supporting this year’s theme, ‘be the light in the darkness.’ 

In lessons today, Year 9 students will follow our calendar of events, exploring our assigned Holocaust survivor, Dov Reichmann.

We suggest you watch ‘A Perfect Planet’ Episode 2: The Sun on BBC iplayer as it links well to our Extreme Environments topic. There are some questions you can have a go at too if you would like to challenge yourself.  Send them to Mrs Bradbury to earn HAPs (bradbury.e1@welearn365.com)

Another physical and spirited encounter with Year 9 this evening. With some festive tunes sung to keep moral up in the cold and rain. Excellent performance and effort, well done all.

Miss Mason

It was really great to see some of our year 9 students taking part in football training tonight.

Thanks to Mr Martin for taking part, and we hope to see you at the next session after the Christmas break.

9WE6 have really embraced the spirit of Christmas and shown incredible kindness and compassion this festive season. They have been collecting items for local food banks, and making Christmas cards for local care homes.

I have been blown away by their generosity and thoughtfulness, they have really embodied our Southam College core value of ‘kindness’.

Well done 9WE6!
