Christmas Card Campaign 2020

The sixth form at 麻豆直播 organised their annual Christmas Card Campaign, albeit in a slightly different format this year. The Christmas Card Campaign aims to support the elderly and vulnerable members of our local community. The sixth form Charities Committee teamed up with local care providers, Sunrise and Beaumont, and Christchurch to help organise and deliver Christmas Cards to local residents who may be without family and friends nearby, with some facing the heart-breaking reality of Christmas all alone this year. The school were provided with a list of names and those students who expressed an interest in signing up for the campaign were asked to bring in a signed Christmas Card for their allocated card recipient. Due to covid-19 the cards were stored, untouched, for at least 72 hours before being delivered to the relevant care home or church. All staff and students involved in the campaign ensured that they adhered to the necessary covid-19 safeguarding procedures. Thank you to Mrs Edwards, Assistant Director of Sixth Form and our Charities Committee in their organisation of this special campaign. It was wonderful to see how many students became involved, showing their kindness and compassion for those around them most in need of comfort, particularly at this time of year.

Pupil journalist Sam B secures national 'Student Voices' award

Our  talented pupil, Sam B, Year 9, has been named one of just five winners nationwide in the prestigious ' The Day's Student Voices Young Journalist Awards 2026. Sam B clinched the honour with a compelling, insightful opinion piece titled, “Life Isn't All Sunshine And Rainbows But It's Not Doom And Gloom Either.” The competition judges praised the passion, positivity and exceptional eloquence of Sam’s writing. As part of the winner's package, the article was officially published on The Day’s global Student Voices platform on 15th June, alongside the national announcement of the competition winners. Sam’s award-winning article takes critical aim at the modern media landscape, arguing that mainstream platforms rely on sensationalism and fear to drive reader engagement. The piece contrasts historical anxieties with today's relentless news cycle, which feeds on global catastrophes. While acknowledging real hardships, Sam warns that constant access to bleak updates is mentally exhausting and traps younger generations in a false sense of hopelessness.  Far from advocating for purposeful ignorance, Sam urges readers to stay informed while remembering how far humanity has progressed. The essay highlights that we are living in a golden age of technology and medical achievement.  Ultimately, the award-winning piece serves as a powerful reminder of humanity's inherent resilience and proven ability to thrive in the face of adversity. As Sam beautifully concludes, "It's important to keep positive, because whatever happens, humans always adapt and never lose hope." The entire St Clement Danes community extends its warmest congratulations to Sam on this incredible achievement
