On Thursday 16 January, both Dane Court Grammar School and King Ethelbert School enjoyed a visit from the Education and Childcare Minister, Elizabeth Truss, as well as Laura Sandys MP and Sir Roger Gale MP.
The Minister wanted to see at first hand the International Baccalaureate Careers Related Certificate (IBCC) that is offered at both schools, as well as a number of other Kent schools, including Ellington Hereson, Hartsdown and Sandwich Technology School.
Health and Social Care students from Dane Court entertained residents at Yoakley Homes and students at The Royal School for Deaf with their pantomime 'Cinderella'.
The Kent Youth County Council gives young people the opportunity to have their say on important issues and to get involved in making a difference to the lives of young residents. Four young people are elected to represent each district in Kent, as well as 12 young people elected to Community Seats, ensuring representation of all Kent's communities.
Mrs Baker presented to a sixth form conference at Kings College London in her capacity as AQA's Chief Examiner for GCE Food Technology. She spoke about the many career opportunities which stem from this subject and gave examples of student success stories from Dane Court. Many teachers at the conference said they had been inspired by what Mrs Baker had said and by her enthusiasm for the subject. The conference was organised by the British Nutrition Foundation in conjunction with the Agriculture and Horticulture Development Board. The whole day event included presentations by a range of speakers from the nutrition foundation and food industry, including themes such as 'Tackling climate change through livestock'; 'UK food consumption and production – a marketing perspective'; 'Ensuring food traceability and quality in the twenty first century'; 'New food product development – concept to launch' and 'Nutrition update – Snacking and Hydration'.
