Sigh- this is going to turn into a fitnes diary...

This will be a record of my journey to a proper ripped body. I am going to really try to get my belly toned into maybe a six pack. At the moment i am quite well built with a healthy looking body, i am not fat thanks to the irish genetics and not really eating alot. However my body is quite flabby at the moment and needs some tightening up.
I plan to start with the Stomach and work my way to the arms and then make my pecs super impressive too :)

Follow this blog if you are interested to see how i get on or want some one to share progress with whilst doing it yourself.
  Might make a fitness twitter feed in the future if i get enough of a following so follow me for more!!



This is the video i am going to be using.

Newsletter adapting to sixth form life

After results day each and every student had a choice to further their education or take on an apprenticeship, I like many others opted for the education route and so far am glad that did.

The sixth form way of life is considerably different to that of lower school and is somewhat more enjoyable. There is a greater sense of maturity however it still feel somewhat comfortable and welcoming. A good amount of year 11 students still remain at Newport,  we are all hoping in one way or another to finish with grades of C or higher.

The A-level course seems to be somewhat more demanding; however given the fact that we have already been through the hell that is GCSE’s we should be a little more prepared for dealing with the workload and meeting all the deadlines. 

There are a number of privileges and responsibilities that come with being a sixth form student, for instance we know have a study room in which we can catch up on any work during our free periods. Free periods are also a privilege gained upon enrolment and they are a really helpful time to catch up on any homework we might not have been able to do and update any case study note.  As you enter the sixth form however you are seen to be a higher authority of the school and so are expected to take on certain duties around the school. For instance several people I know have already become prefects and this means they offer to do jobs such as being a line monitor during lunch and break.  There are also more profitable jobs specifically available to sixth formers, for example the schools cleaning service Knightingale cleaning, allow a certain group of willing sixth formers to clean up and they get paid a minimum wage for their services.

Although the sixth form ‘journey’ has only just begun the expectations of our year is very high and so let’s hope that the majority of the year are able to deliver.
