These awards were celebrated at a ceremony at Barking Town Hall on Wednesday evening 1st April, attended by award holders and their families from across the borough. Peter Fleet the London Director of D of E, presented the students with their certificates and encouraged them to shout about their awards and use them to demonstrate vital skills that will be useful in university, college and job applications in the future. Cllr Darren Rodwell, Leader of Barking and Dagenham Council, said that the students were ‘Borough Champions’, and had shown excellent citizenship through their participation in the award. At JRCS we are certainly extremely proud of all those who have taken up the considerable challenge of the Duke of Edinburgh Award, alongside their studies in KS4 and 5. Many congratulations to each and every one, they are: Rosie Dunn, Emily Vincent, Billy Simson, Charlotte Craven, Clara Dikongue, Aderonke Adesenoye, Jay Batchelor, Tomi Adegbenla, Andrew Odame Kwakye, Korede Salami, Salvi (Mohammed) Islam, Vanessa Moreira, Paula Stuomaite, Elizabeth Olabode, Yaseen Lahmami, and Anjolaade Ogunwolu (all Year 11 - bronze award), Stephanie Taylor and Dean Payne (both Year 12 - silver award), and Sarah Hadley (Year 13 gold award).

Mark said “I really enjoyed the course, it was a great experience. If anyone has the opportunity to do this programme, they should 100% do it”. Well done Mark! Mrs Falzon LSU Manager School Email Account Please can you ensure that you check your email account each week. This is important to see if you have overdue library books. If you do, then return them to the school library promptly. Students will receive a reminder email each week concerning overdue books and fines will now be issued to students who do not return library books. Once a fourth reminder is reached, a letter home will be issued concerning the book fine. It is the responsibility of every student to look after and return library books on time. If any student has an issue regarding library books they should see the school librarian. Ms Osland Librarian Good luck Miss Wilkinson!
