On the 23 June 2011 at Bluewater a schools challenge was held, in which schools were invited to bring along teams who had made a solar, electric remote control or internal combustion remote control boat. In a previous year Dane Court has won the overall title. This year Dane Court entered three teams who made three solar boats, these were made up of one year seven team, one year eight and one year nine. The teams unfortunately only had 3 weeks to build their solar boats, which was very short compared to the time the other competing schools had.
Students from year 7 through to year 13 took the opportunity to perform at the annual Dickens Festival on Broadstairs Bandstand on 21 June 2011. A very windy day, the challenges were not only entertaining the large crowd that had gathered but also keeping the music on the stands! Thanks to Kirsty Higbee, Chloe Louise Gaddes, Robert Evans, Elias Votta, Etienne Avisse Brown, Dominic Bent, Jonathan Ward and Cameron Taylor for jazzin' the afternoon away.
During the Broadstairs Charles Dickens Festival, Dane Court took part in the Charles Dickens Reading competition run by the Isle of Thanet Gazette. Huge congratulations must go to the winners of the final.
