IT'S SHOW TIME!
CHSG Dance Show 'Come Alive'
Wednesday 1st March 2023
7pm-9pm
School Hall
Students have been working exceptionally hard on their pieces, and we are also excited to showcase our brand-new lighting and sound system!
Tickets are available via ParentPay and our Sixth Form team will be providing refreshments and goodies during the evening.
We look forward to welcoming you all to our first full-scale dance show since 2019.
We know that exams do not only affect the students, but parents can also find them difficult and stressful.
Here at CHSG we want your child to succeed so Mrs Durrett and I have prepared the presentation below with a view to providing some advice on how best to support families and students in the run-up to exams.
Your support can make a real difference, we know that teenagers perform best when they, their teachers and their parents all do their bit.
Here are the links referred to in the video:
I hope you find the presentation useful, thank you for taking the time to watch it.

Year 12 Film Studies students attended a silent film workshop at the BFI. In the morning they took part in a workshop on films from the silent era (one of the topics they study as part of their A level Film Studies course) and in the afternoon watched a screening of FW Murnau's 1927 masterpiece, Sunrise, with a live piano accompaniment followed by a question and answer session with the pianist. The BFI runs a great series of educational events and other industry related experiences for young people and our students have always got a huge amount from them. We'll be attending other events run by them later this year and in the future.
Our KS4 & KS5 art students had a fantastic opportunity to participate in a workshop run by established portrait artist Paul Brandford. Students explored expressive drawings with charcoal and monochromatic paintings and discovered different ways of approaching the idea of creating a portrait.
We know that exams do not only affect the students, but parents can also find them difficult and stressful.

The Year 11 Prom will take place on Thursday 6th July at Surrey National Golf Course.
The students have voted for a 2 course sit down meal.
We expect the prom to cost approx. £50; this will cover the cost of the venue, security, the 2-course meal, the DJ and decorations. We are hopeful the Year Group might raise some funds through fundraising next term to reduce this cost.
Your daughter’s place at the Prom is subject to excellent behaviour, attendance and punctuality within school and this will be constantly monitored before the Prom.
If your daughter’s attendance, punctuality or behaviour is deemed to be unsatisfactory, she will not be allowed to participate. If she is not allowed to attend, there will be no refund of any monies paid.
To secure the venue a deposit is required. If your daughter is interested in attending prom please follow the link below to pay a non-refundable deposit of £20 by Friday 3rd February 2023.

The NSPCC are looking for 15 young people to join our next Young People’s Board for Change!
Well done to all the Year 12 and 13 students with 100% attendance last term. As a reward, all the students got together for a breakfast together in the common room. Well done, and we look forward to celebrating improved attendance with more of you this term.
Last term, our Year 9 AP group worked on skills linked to teamwork and had to build and decorate a gingerbread house together. They did a great job, with the finished result looking both beautiful and delicious.
Sixth Form Dance Students had an exciting couple of days as they travelled to Sadler's Wells to see Matthew Bourne's Sleeping Beauty and even got to meet Matthew himself!
They then had the honour of welcoming Bourne's principal dancers Glenn Graham and Cordelia Braithwaite in to CHSG to deliver an inspiring Sleeping Beauty Workshop. Students worked extremely hard despite being slightly star struck!
