June 21st-25th saw RCC’s first Maths Week. Students were treated to a week of fun maths activities designed to demonstrate to students the relevance of maths outside of the classroom.

Starting with year 9s on Monday 21st we had a ‘mathmagician’ visit school to demonstrate to staff and students how maths is used in performing magic tricks.

For the fourth year in a row the dance students at Redcar Community College created another fantastic performance for International Dance Day. There were nearly 70 students ranging from Y7 toY11 performing to approximately 600 people over the 3 days.

As part of a cross departmental project with ICT and Dance and Breakdancer from the 'Bad taste Cru' Came to work with 14 Year 8 and Year 9 Boys. The basis of this exciting project is the creation of a film using Green Screen Technology plus a documentary following the process which will be used as a teaching resource.

The Boys learnt the basics of break dancing and recreated a scene from the famous Breakdancing Film 'Beat Street'. All the boys had a hard but rewarding day and are looking forward to seeing their 'freezes' on the Big Screen.

Watch this space for the final film!

In the build-up to Christmas the thoughts of the students at Redcar Community College always turn to those less fortunate than themselves; and this year was no exception.

Again, as they have done for a number of years, the students decided to support the Children in Distress charity.  Staff from this charity visit Romania several times each year, taking gifts and materials for children; they support several day medical centres and orphanages in Bucharest.  This year the students filled and decorated 180 shoe boxes to be sent to children in these centres.
