Yesterday, eleven Year 9 students visited the Newcastle University Medical and Dentistry (M.A.D.) school to learn more about what it was like to study either medicine or dentistry at this university.
They experienced a variety of activities from lectures to practical sessions. They gave it their all with CPR, intubating Simon the SIMman, reassembling a pile of human bones and painting on specific facial muscles in the medical practicals.
They also looked at animal dentition, carving a replacement tooth and using disclosure tablets in dentistry. Well done to all students involved!
Here is a poster of what activities there are available to do at lunchtime in school. For more information please ask the teacher running the activity.
A group of Year 9 students have been working with Ms Griffiths on a “School of Sanctuary” project.
The group’s aims are to promote inclusivity, tolerance and acceptance within Marden High School and the wider community.
Last week they delivered assemblies to all year groups about racism and tolerance.
27 Year 11 students visited Geneva this weekend, accompanied by Science and Maths staff. The main focus of the visit was to go to CERN to see the Large Hadron Collider and learn more about the standard particle model.
As well as that, they visited the United Nations headquarters, looked at art installations around the city and famous landmarks such as the Jet d’Eau. The students also experienced traditional Swiss cuisine and entertainment at the Edelweiss restaurant, plus a boat trip across Lake Geneva.
Thanks to all staff and students who made it a busy, culture packed weekend!
