Our Key Stage 3 students have been busy learning how to make pancakes as part of their Food Technology lessons. Some of the students have even been experimenting with making gluten-free, egg-free pancakes, to suit those with intolerances. The students enjoyed revisiting their gratifying cooking experiences, flipping the pancakes in the kitchen and particularly enjoyed eating their creations afterwards!

Year 9 students brought their A-game to the kitchen, crafting delicious pizzas from scratch. The students did everything from kneading the dough to topping it off with their favourite ingredients, their creativity and hard work were truly impressive. Food Technology continues to be a firm favourite at Hewens College, and our budding chefs never fail to amaze us with their skill and passion for cooking.

Our Year 9 students welcomed Hezron Brown, who led a workshop about the important topic of bullying, delivering his thought-provoking lived experience. Hezron along with Shaquil, gave inspiring speeches, strategies and advice to engage our students. He told of his journey from a homeless teenager and active gang member in Birmingham, to a professional actor, Pride of Britain award winner and motivational speaker. He told his story with complete honesty and our students were engaged throughout the assembly.

Our Year 9 students had an insightful and thought-provoking presentation from Generation 2 Generation, a Holocaust Education Charity. Holocaust Memorial Day is an international day of remembrance, held on January 27th. The students watched and heard emotional interviews along with the live commentary of the presenter.
