Well Done Tennis Young Leaders! The Weekly Word - Newsletter Vol.1 no 33 Friday 08 May 2015 NASA Selection process We have finally made our selection, after a gruelling application process we have chosen our NASA applicants. All six of the applicants this year were fantastic and we were thoroughly impressed, which made the final decision all the more challenging. Congratulations to Amy Degg, Isiah Rudkin and Raazi Karim who consistently demonstrated their ambition and passion to secure their place on the trip. The applicants had to go through a serious of rigorous steps before the final interview, which included: A written application A fitness test (like a real astronaut!) Deliver a session to year 6’s Deliver a 30 minute lesson to year 7’s Fund raising activities A daunting interview During the October half term these 3 budding scientists will go to Houston in Texas for a week with other members from the Aspirations Academies to see NASA and spend time with influential people who have made careers out of science. It’s the opportunity of a life time, make sure you look out for next year’s applicants and if you are in year 11 it could be you! Banbury Academy - Prom Prom at Heythrop Park on Friday 26th June Tickets cost £30 Banbury Academy hosted the Banbury Area Year 3 and 4 Tennis Festival on Thursday 30 April. 23 Year 9 and 10 leaders did a fantastic job of leading 62 children through fun games and skill practices before running a tournament for them. The overall results were extremely close with just a couple of points between each team. The final results saw Queensway take fourth place, Orchard Fields take third, Hanwell Fields take second with Dashwood claiming the top spot. The standard of tennis was very high and we wish Hanwell Fields and Dashwood good luck for the North Oxfordshire Schools Sport Partnership Final which take place on 17 June.
