• Network Rail visit MHS

  Thu 12 Oct 2017

  Thursday 12th October 2017 - Students in Year 7, 8 and 9 from Moulsham High School took to the airwaves on 9^th October to interview Network Rail’s community safety manager, Ryan Ackerman in a unique educational safety session on the school’s radio station.

  The interview was part of an assembly session for students at Moulsham High School that warned them about the dangers of trespassing on the railway and encouraged them to use stations and level crossings safely.   Students posed questions to Mr Ackerman for a radio news piece that was broadcast to the whole school at lunch and break times during the week on the school’s radio station.

  The event was coupled with a short session about careers as part of Rail Week, to inspire students to think about the diverse and rewarding career opportunities available across the rail sector.

  Ryan Ackerman, Network Rail’s community safety manager for Anglia, said:

  “Being interviewed by the students on their radio station is something I’ve never done before and a provided unique opportunity to raise awareness of the dangers of the railway and help keep young people safe. The aim of the session is to make clear the potential dangers when around the railway or at level crossings and is a hard-hitting reminder to students to stay safe.”

  Miss Mead, Head of School at Moulsham High said:

  “We are extremely grateful to Network Rail for raising our students’ awareness of how to stay safe when near railways.  The safety of our students both inside and outside of school is always our main priority and the sessions have been invaluable.”

  Parents can also teach their children how to stay safe on the railway with this information:

  Tue 10 Oct 2017

  Tuesday 10th October 2017 - On Tuesday the 10^th of October members of 71M went with Mr Dallas to visit the Mosque in Chelmsford for a tour and talk about Islam. Sidra Naeem, who accommodated the visit on behalf of the Mosque, invited the students to dress up in various Muslim clothes from around the world, and to get involved with the presentation through interactive questioning and discussions.

   

  Mr Dallas said  “Not only did the students learn a lot about Islam as a traditional world faith, they also learnt a lot about multi-faith communities and what it is like to be a British Muslim.  The students thoroughly enjoyed the experience and represented the school extremely well.”

   

  Sidra Naeem said  “I found the children from Moulsham High School to be very respectful, extremely well behaved and very intelligent. They had a good knowledge of Religious Education as well as Geography. They were enthusiastic to participate in the hands on activities and had a keen interest to further their knowledge!”

   

  One of the students, Oscar H said “A really enjoyable and educational trip.  I learnt so much about Islam and had an amazing morning . I will remember this trip for a long time ”
