Taking full advantage of some of the new facilities available in school, Form 10N recently took part in a table-tennis tournament. The keenly fought competition saw Shoaib beating Husain in the third place contest, and Rayhan beating Gugandeep in the final to win the new (and now highly coveted) Nelson Trophy! Well done to all competitors for their fine display of sportsmanship; no arguing or attempted foul play was in evidence!

Melanie Richards, a partner and the Vice Chair of KPMG spoke to Year 12 and Year 13 students in school on Tuesday November 3rd.
Melanie spoke about her own career path from the world of banking into the senior leadership of one of the leading global accountancy firms. She also brought three of her young trainee accountants to speak to our students about careers at KPMG and in this wider field.
Melanie and her team also gave advice about how to apply to KPMG for their school leavers programme, which certainly interested some students.
Mr Julian Woodcock, Head of Sixth Form reported that the students had been totally engaged in Melanie’s presentation and that it seemed to have made some students think carefully about their future career choices.
Melanie said that she was delighted to visit Handsworth Grammar School and that she had been very pleased to answer so many interesting questions from our students.
We are very grateful to Melanie and her colleagues for making the journey to HGS and for giving their time so freely to speak to our students.
Mr Conway
The word of the week commencing 2nd November 2015 is: Procrastinate
This means delay or postpone action; put off doing something.
“the temptation will be to procrastinate until the power struggle plays itself out”
The display is produced by the student librarians.
This display can be found in our Library.
