Conisborough College has had the pleasure of welcoming some prestigious guests this term to talk to our young people about their journeys to success.

On Wednesday 13 February, we were pleased to welcome Lewisham Cabinet member for School Performance and Children's Services, Councillor Chris Barnham, to meet with staff and students.

Careers and Guidance

It's been a busy term for Careers and Guidance at Conisborough College. We kicked off the year with the launch of the Envision Programme for the second Year 10 cohort.

Sixteen students attended the launch to start the 13-week inter-school competition across Lewisham.

Urban Synergy #Ready4Work

On Tuesday 26 March, Conisborough College hosted the Urban Synergy 'Ready 4 Work' day for Year 10 students. The day was a huge success with over 50 volunteer business professionals who took a day out of their busy schedules to spend interviewing students in Year 10 and running various employability workshops in order to get our students interview ready and set for the working environment.

SPORTS NEWS

On Friday 18 January Conisborough College hosted the Lord Taverner's Boccia Event.

Boccia is a disability sport where players aim to propel balls close to a target ball. At Friday's event, two sides competed as teams of five or six over a set number of ends.

Points are then calculated over the course of a match. A ball can be rolled, thrown or kicked. If a player is unable to throw or kick the ball, they can use a ramp. Year 5 and 6 students attended from different primary schools in Lewisham and the day was led by the Year 9 Sports Crew. It was a hugely successful event and one which we will be hosting again in the near future.
