The winners of the £5 challenge were M1 for raising nearly £40, well done. The Form board challenge was a competition to see which tutor group could design the best form board. The form captains led this competition and each Tutor group were asked to add a variety of information about themselves, such as their achievements, their likes/dislikes, any hobbies/interests, and their academic progress. Well done to M1, M4, M5, M6, M9, and 11H for their entries. Spelling Bee Each Tutor group took part in the Spelling Bee competition organised by Ms Daya.

Overall, we were winners of the girls’ basketball and joints winners for boys’ football and girls indoor football. Gurveer has been the Sports Captain for his Year group since Year 7, and he has this to say about his experiences; ‘Over the past 5 years I have had the privilege of being a Sports Captain for my college Meriden. It was has been a rollercoaster experience of defeats and victories, but we always turn out on top! We went a whole year unbeaten in every sporting competition! Playing this role has taught me all the LORIC values (Leadership, Organisation, Resilience, Initiative, Communication) and all of these have played a big role in helping me get where I am today. Five years ago I was selected as becoming a Sports Captain, and now I stand here as a Deputy Head Boy, this experience will never be forgotten.’ Thank you to all of the Sports Captains for organising teams and showing good leadership. PiXL Edge Huge congratulations to Jasmine and Bhavnisha for achieving the Apprentice Award.
