London Students to Join Tall Ships Adventure

A group of students from Bellerbys London will be once again joining the Jubilee Sailing Trust Tall Ships Adventure in September.

This is the second year that the college has taken part in the Tall Ships Adventure.  Last year students joined Tenacious, the largest wooden tall ship of her kind, for a six-day trip around the English coast, sailing from Southampton in Hampshire to Great Yarmouth in Norfolk.

The Jubilee Sailing Trust is a charity which aims to promote integration of able-bodied and physically disabled people through the challenge of tall ship sailing adventure holidays and associated activities. 

Tenacious has been specially-built to cater for a disabled crew and includes wheelchair-friendly flat wide decks, powered lifts, a speaking compass for the use of blind crew members and bright track radar for partially sighted crew.

Upon their return, the students created an exhibition of their photographs of their trip and made a presentation to the rest of the college.

Take a look at the Jubilee Sailing Trust website for more information about their work and planned trips.

Media Studies Screening Event

In March Bellerbys London held its annual “Media Students Screening Evening”, an after-school event showcasing some of the best films made by students following the Media Studies (with Psychology) Foundation programme.

Films shown included “non-verbal communication” shorts – stories told without using words – and openings and trailers intended to give the audience a taste of longer feature films.

The event was incredibly popular, with over 80 people – both students and staff – in attendance. All the films were edited in class by the students, and will contribute towards their final mark in Media Studies.

The standard of work was very high, however, some students whose work was particularly accomplished were Natsumi Akasaka, Amy Liu and Victoria Akinlabi, with their horror film “Nox”.  Another notable film was the comedy “A Fool’s Game” also by Natsumi, assisted by Arthur Shi, which had the audience in stitches.

Bellerbys London Fund-Raising Group Raises £2,000 for Charity

The Bellerbys London Fund-Raising Group, headed by A Level student Amie (Bao Ngoc Lieu), has raised over £1,000 for the Bellerbys College company charity, Building Futures. 

In partnership with Plan International, the Building Futures charity raises money to build schools to provide an education for some of the world's poorest children.  So far the charity has built two new schools - Saney School in Aceh, Indonesia and Zounzounkanme School in Benin, and has just started work on much needed extension and redevelopment work at the Rosalina Zaidan School in Northern Brazil.

The money to complete these projects has been raised by various events organised by students and staff at Bellerbys College and other parts of the parent company, Study Group.  The company matches every pound raised by staff and students, so the £1,000 raised by Amie and her team has been doubled to £2,000.
