During an assembly, Year 11 held up a message for HMS Illustrious, currently delivering aid to the people of the Philippines over the Christmas period, and David Lowery has sent us a letter of thanks back (read below), also outlining some of the important work that they have been doing out there…
Thanks once again to everyone who attended our Awards Evening last week, in which we celebrated the achievements of last year’s Year 11 leavers, who recorded the BEST EVER GCSE results in the history of North Tyneside.
Year 6 students from Cullercoats Primary School enjoyed their first visit to Marden on Friday, taking part in Maths lessons before visiting the Cafe and LRC.
Hi, my name is Caitlin McPartlan; I’m in year 9 and my mum has a neurological condition called Chiari Malformation…
After campaigning to do a fundraiser for nearly a year, finally, it had happened! Marden did a non-uniform day to raise money for the Ann Conroy Trust.
To do this I had to first, go through the people on the school cabinet and explain to them what the Ann Conroy Trust is and how it helps people with Chiari. When I had convinced the Cabinet to support me, the hardest part still wasn’t over. I had to convince the rest of the school to help too. This meant talking in assembly to years 7 & 8 then 9 & 10 and then year 11. This was really hard because public speaking isn’t what I’m best at. I hate speaking in front of people but I knew if I didn’t do it one of the teachers would speak and not do the charity justice.

Here’s Adam and Jake’s report on our fundraising efforts on Friday…

As Year 11 Isaac Sidney steps down after a year as Young Mayor of North Tyneside, Year 9 student Rebecca Moore has the opportunity to take over and make it a second consecutive Young Mayor from Marden High School. She is down to the last four candidates for the position, so make sure you vote for Rebecca when the polls open between the 18th and 20th of November. Here is her campaign video:

Marden High School will be closed to pupils on Thursday 17 October 2013.
This is due to a one day strike by members of the teachers’ union NASUWT.
We very much regret the inconvenience.
