39. CAMP HILL BOYS – PUPIL ACHIEVEMENTS (SUMMER 2010) Following the Intermediate Mathematics Olympiad, two Year 9 students, Terence Wu and Lian Zhu received certificates of distinction and a medal placing them in the top 100 participants in the country. Another member of Year 9, Max Cheung, also achieved a certificate of distinction, a medal and a book, placing him in the top 50 participants. The following students passed their British Sign Language examination recently – Shakeel Ahmed, AjinkaBhalerao, Hasminder Singh Matharu, Alexander May, Alexander Pattison, Oliver Paulin, Awais Sheikh, Yusuf Sheikh, Christopher Sherwood, Robert Smith, Peter Ting and Jack Wishart. Camp Hill took part in two tournaments at the start of July. The first one left us Under 18 National Schools Chess Champions, but we won't mention that only two schools took part. The second one was the national finals of the Yateley Manor Plate Competition. Like New Zealand in the soccer world cup, we ended the competition undefeated, and at the finals actually beat the two junior schools we played 4-2 and 6-0, but, because of the age handicap, we finished third. Following their success in the Regional Final of this year’s Team Maths Challenge, our team of 4 (Robert Smith, Robert Walters, Giles Moss and Sam England) travelled to the Royal Horticultural Halls, London for the National Final of this increasingly popular event. The questions on the day were very challenging, especially as the times allocated to answer them were cut this year. The team came third out of eighty teams. This result represents an incredible achievement and the scale of it should not be missed. All the top schools in the country enter this event and to finish above many famous independent schools (some very close to us here!) is a real achievement given our relative resources.

40. On 5 May, the two ‘Engineering in Education Scheme’ teams took part in the Celebration and Assessment Day where they received their EES Awards: this meant they also gained the Crest Gold Award. The Eaton team were Anthony Wood, Chris Carter, Edward Wallace and Ben Harvey. The Aero Engine Controls System team were Tony Song, Mohammad Hasan Ali, Philip Williams (Arkright Design Scholar) and Joseph Nickson. John Eraifej and Awais Sheik were 2 out of 507 (there were 3600 applicants) who qualified to attend the UNIQ Summer School at Oxford University. VivekKotecha has been awarded a Prime Minister’s Global Fellowship which will involve him spending six weeks in China this summer (there are 100 places available worldwide and there were over 3400 applicants). Alan Egan in Year 11 won the regional competition to qualify for the Young Engineer of the Year finals to be held in London in March 2011. The school had four teams from the Sixth Form enter the “Envision” project and the team of AamilGhani, Abdullah Ahmed, HameedAlani and Johnny Kay won the ‘Media Team of the Year’ award for their project to raise the awareness of sexual health among teenagers. The Biology department would like to congratulate all those involved in the Biology Challenge that took place in March. The Biology Challenge is a national competition introduced last year and trialled within Camp Hill Boys this year. Mrs Mpofu invited volunteers to take part and was overwhelmed by the enthusiasm shown and the number of pupils wanting to take part. Numbers were limited to 25 entrants; of those 25, 19 achieved some level of success (with 2 gold awards, 5 silver, 7 bronze and 5 highly commended).

41.

Aled emulated Nathan’s achievement last year when he was selected to represent the UK in the ‘Romanian Masters of Mathematics Competition’ held in February. Aled and Nathan were both chosen to represent the UK in the International Mathematics Olympiad in Kazakhstan later in early July. This is the first time that Camp Hill has had a representative in the team and we are the only school since 1996 to have two representatives in the team of six. What a tremendous achievement ! Stop press – The UK team came 25th in the world. Aled received a commendation and Nathan was the second top performer in the UK team and was awarded a Silver Medal. On the sporting front, pupils and teams from the school have, once again, achieved successes this summer term: Alex Lloyd, our talented fencer is now ranked 1st in Great Britain in the under 15 age group category and he has qualified for the second year running for the under 15 World Championships in Paris. Alex has won the under 11, under 13 and now the under 15 title. He is the only boy to have achieved this. He has been selected for the British Fencing Academy and earlier this month became the youngest fencer to qualify for the British Senior Championship.
