Tesco School & Club Vouchers 
1st March  – 9th May 2010
 
Students at Moorside Community Technology College are appealing to everyone in the area to help in the quest for new school ICT Equipment.
 
If you shop at Tesco, please collect the School & Clubs vouchers and donate them to our cause and encourage friends and family to donate theirs too.
 
Collection boxes can be found in the college’s main reception area.
 
Many thanks.
 
 
  Don't Forget Your Passport!
 
Thanks to all of you for remembering your passport every day. The regular passport control on the side gate will continue so don't get caught out!
 
Your passport will really help you get the best out of Moorside so make sure that you bring it every day so that you can use it in every lesson.
 
And please look after it by not using it for graffiti.
 
...and Your Water Bottle
 
We expect you to drink plenty of fruit juice or water during the day, but it would be a great help if you brought your own water bottle so that you can top it up from the dispensers in the dining hall and PE.
 
 Rules for Food and Drink
 
Don't forget that from last July you have not been allowed to bring fizzy drinks and/or sweets into school.
 
Please Wear a Cycle Helmet!
 
It's great to see so many students cycling to school and using our bike shelter. But don't forget that you should wear a cycle helmet!
 

 We Did It!

Moorside, the Consett Academy and Government Cuts
A Message from the Headteacher: July 2010
 
The local authority proposal for an academy secondary school for Consett is now being reconsidered by the government as part of its attempts to reduce public expenditure. The academy was to  be sponsored by an educational consortium led by the University of Durham and also by Durham County Council.
 
This means that Moorside and Consett Community Sports College might not  merge to form an academy in a new building on the Belle Vue site  in January 2013. 
 
The proposed Consett academy is "under discussion" by the government and a final outcome might be announced before the end of July 2010.
