The Year 11 Prom took place at The Village Hotel on Wednesday, and a good time was had by all as we said goodbye to our fantastic Class of 2013…
In an exciting week in which the Marden kitchens were taken over by staff and student teams every morning last week, we can now reveal the results of all their hard work…
…Teams were awarded points by hungry students for taste, presentation and service; but it wasn’t just the students calling the shots. The kitchen staff also chipped in with marks for planning, organisation and cooking. There were also bonus points for extra portions dished out, and in a very high scoring week, the consistency of Mr Morris (with a little help from Food Technology teacher Mrs Rae) won through in the end, scoring an impressive 105 for their pork and apple burgers.
Year 6 students from Cullercoats Primary School have been at Marden all day enjoying lessons and getting to know the building. Here they are writing on the learning wall in the English department before setting off on a Marden Treasure Trail – Year 8 guides helped them with a Photography project, taking photos of different areas of the school.
This week, the Marden kitchen is being taken over by the students, as Year 7 and Year 8 students join forces with a different teacher every day to produce a unique new menu.
