Amar Rupra’s Basketball goes from strength to strength

Amar Rupra in 9 Galahad has played for the City of Birmingham Under 14 Premier team this season. They won the North Premier division winning 17 of their 18 games. From there they proceeded to the play offs where they reached the semi-finals in Manchester only to lose to the eventual winners – Worthing Thunder. This is a huge achievement and it is the first time that a Birmingham team has reached this stage in some 20 years! Amar played a full part in the success of the team and the games were streamed on a global scale via the Basketball England website. Amar has also represented the West Midlands Regional team at the Nationals in Sheffield and was chosen to represent the region in the National shooting competition where he came a very credible third overall.

Please see the poster for details of a Basketball Camp arranged in partnership with NBA legend Hakeem Olajuwon.

HGS PTA

Join Us and Get Involved!

We are a friendly group of parents who have children at the School.  Our role is to create a wider school community where parents, teachers and students can come together and organise fun fundraising events.  The best way this can be achieved is to have a positive and active PTA, so that our children can benefit with the extra influx of funds. So far we have supported the Maths, Chemistry, Music, English, PE, DT and AG&T Departments.

We will always need an extra pair of hands, ideas and contacts to help with the many future projects and events that are due to take place.  If you or someone you know can help with supporting events, raffle prizes, catering or anything else, which may be of use, then please contact us.

Future Events include:

  • New Intake Day: 5th July 2017
  • Summer Concert: 13th July 2017
  • Non-Uniform Day and Bake Sale: 14th July 2017
  • New Year 7 Introduction Evening: 28th September 2017 6.00pm

Heat Stroke Video

Masterminded by Cody and Sean with Yared, Harri and Harrison in 7W for a unit on First Aid in Opening Minds. The task was to produce an informative and memorable TV advert explaining how to recognise and manage a First Aid emergency. The boys showed great initiative in producing this short film which is both factually accurate and amusing.
