As the school year draws to a close and the summer holidays begin, it’s time to reflect on some of the highlights that made this year at Laurus Cheadle Hulme truly unforgettable.
From academic achievements to artistic performances, our students have showcased their talents and dedication in a variety of ways.
Here are just some of the moments that defined our year.
An immersive day of Languages at the University of Manchester
In January, Year 8 and 9 students took a trip to the University of Manchester for Viva Languages Day.
This event aimed to ignite a passion for languages among students and an insight into what it is like to study a language at university.
It was also a chance for the group to try out a new language, and meet students from the university and other local schools.
The students returned with a renewed enthusiasm for language learning, eager to apply their newfound knowledge in the classroom.
Benedetti Foundation Young People’s String Day
January was also a busy month for our musicians, as students in Year 7 and 8 headed to Stockport Town Hall for the Benedetti Foundation Young People’s String Day.
Through this unique opportunity, students were able to hone their musical skills and spend the day working with the amazing Benedetti team, which included tutors and ambassadors from the Royal Northern College of Music.
The day ended in a spectacular performance for parents and carers that showcased their progress.
It was an incredible experience which left a lasting impact on all who attended!
Grease: School Edition Dazzles Audiences
March brought the excitement of the school production of Grease: School Edition, where students dazzled audiences over three consecutive nights.
LCH was transformed into Rydell High as our very own T-Birds and Pink Ladies brought Grease School Edition to life!
The cast, musicians and crew put in countless hours of rehearsals, and their hard work paid off with a series of performances that were met with standing ovations.
The energy, talent and enthusiasm of our students left us all in awe – we can’t wait to see what they do in next year’s production!
Success in the Rotary Youth Speaks Competition
Throughout this year, we followed the progress of three students as they dominated the competition round after round in the Rotary Youth Speaks competition.
After winning the District Heats along with our Senior team in February, they went on to win best runners-up in the District Finals, before winning the District Grand Finals, and finally achieving silver in the North of England Final!
This team represented LCH impeccably and showed incredible perseverance throughout the competition.
Their articulate presentations and persuasive arguments were praised by judges at each stage of their journey, a huge well done to these students!
Model United Nations Representation
In July, two Year 10 students represented LCH in the annual Model United Nations conference held at Withington School for Girls.
Representing Italy, the students joined others from schools across Greater Manchester for an immersive day of debates.
They engaged in complex discussions and debates on global issues, simulating the workings of the United Nations.
As we bid farewell to another successful school year, we celebrate the achievements and growth of our students, looking forward to the new opportunities that await us in the coming academic year.
We wish all our students, staff, and families a restful and enjoyable summer break!
