1759 SPRING NEWSLETTER 2024 Pensioner’s Christmas Party On 14th December students from the Year 10 and 11 Hospitality and Catering group created a range of biscuits to be served at the pensioners Christmas party with tea and coffee. The students made a selection of shortbread biscuits stamped with festive wishes for our visitors to enjoy whilst listening to the choir and watching the dance students complete a routine. A great time was had by all, with our students gaining valuable knowledge and experience of creating and serving products to a specific brief. Cooking Afternoon The end of the Autumn term saw another two groups of students cash in their rewards points and take part in a cooking afternoon. This popular event has been expanded into KS4 rewards with students from all school years now able to take part and create a range of products to take home and enjoy with their families. As it was the Christmas season students had the opportunity to create chocolate crinkle crunch cookies and peppermint polar bears, made to a sound track of festive hits. Future rewards events are planned for the Spring and summer term, keep an eye out for them in the rewards shop. On Tuesday 5th March, five Year 10 students represented Thornleigh Salesian College at the University of Manchester’s Stock Market Challenge. Francesca M, Hannah P, Emily C, Kenan M and Jackson C spent the day buying and selling stocks, foreign currency and commodities based on media reports and news updates and made an impressive 300% return on their fund!
