Congratulations to our Year 7 Student Ambassadors for their contribution to the Open Day e-newsletter.

On Tuesday 17^th June, 170 Year 8 students and 31 members of staff took part in London Lifesavers training, a programme delivered by the London Ambulance service to train students in CPR and using a defibrillator.

The Magistrates’ Court Mock Trial Competition has helped us understand how the law touches every aspect of our lives, gaining an insight into how the legal justice system works.

A huge thanks to George Duffort from ellenor.x, for helping 8NMG this year with our First Give project. It was wonderful to collaborate with George, and we can’t wait for our social action, BGS to Impress, to take place in late January. It will be an excellent opportunity to fundraise for such a great charity that helps so many people with life-limiting illnesses that need support.

The team are such lovely people who are willing to make the lives of others easier, and they deserve a great deal of credit.

The First Give project has been an amazing chance to open our eyes and learn to appreciate the work of others even more.

Evelyn Sabin, Year 8

Well done to Mason and Omar for running a basketball fundraiser event in aid of ellenor.x as part of our First Give project. The event was a hit despite the frosty weather and all big smiles for the grand finale! A massive shout-out to the super bakers of 8NMG (Ally, Ciara, Lucia, Ava) who went above and beyond to help fundraise for ellenor.x in the run-up to our main social action, BGS to Impress!

Make sure to grab your tickets at a discounted price before the event.
