On Tuesday Year 11 Computer Science students took part in a Digital Day in the STEM room; the first part of the morning was presentation and discussion based, then the students worked on challenges and later in the day they produced a Dragons’ Den style pitch of their ideas.

Bright Futures and Northumbria Police have been developing an App called ‘Bright Futures Personal Safety App’ which students and parents/carers might find useful.
The purpose of the app is to provide a range of information, advice and sources of support for children, young people and parents around a range of issues which may affect them.
The App contains information around: substance misuse and former legal highs, confidence and self-esteem, mental health and self-harm, healthy relationships, grooming, online and e-safety, consent and exploitation. It also provides details to access further information and support locally (across Tyne and Wear) and nationally.
The App can be found by clicking the link in the Cloud Apps section on the right hand side of our website homepage, where it will lead you to three different links.

We have more success to celebrate at Marden, as Year 8 student and Creative Writing Club regular Jenny Hurnell entered the Sunderland Literature & Creative Writing Festival and came 2nd in the Short Story Award in the Under 17s category.
“I went to the awards ceremony…and was amazed that I came 2nd. There were 170 people that entered in the under category!” said Jenny.
A remarkable achievement. Well done Jenny!
Marden’s Creative Writing Club have busy once again, this time submitting an anthology of ghost stories for a competition, all 250 words or less. You can read the ebook here via this link.
