Like all leaders, Miss Myford is the sub-

something Miss Myford, is well known for, the
student continued “When I looked around, no

Head Boy Tolga. Leader or Loser?

Tolga Kuyucuoglu has ambitious plans for the future of our sixth form, but will he overcome the major hurdles that he approaches?

The CHFS senior student put his leadership skills to the test, when he organised his first event, Valentines Week, for all the school sweet
hearts. The week consisted of smaller events such as Cake selling, Rose Selling and a Leg waxing event for the 6th form. His commitment
for the sixth form definitely showed as £130 was raised, which is planned to be shared between the sixth form and for our end of year
prom.
The plans for prom, represents the biggest shake-up in CHFS prom history, as the Head boy has ideas of moving away from Wool-
ston manor, the place where prom has taken place for years, to somewhere in central London, specifically The Venue Constellation. He
still has several obstacles to clear before he can sign his decision into the Sixth form books.
Tolga continues to plan a better sixth form, as he has also been ‘gathering ideas to change the common room-to provide a more
comfortable environment with the money raised and continue raising’. He tackles a prime situation which many have tried and failed, but
we shall see the outcomes by midsummer.
So, is the new senior student a leader or loser? You be the judge.

Student call for staff ID Badges (Continued from Page 1)

Although this implementation of the ID badges is in the best interests of the students,
and their safety, many pupils are not satisfied with the fact in one respect teachers
themselves don’t wear any form of ID. Are random adults too not a threat to ones
safety? With the number of student teachers working in the school, and builders work-
ing in multiple areas around the school, clear identification is a bigger issue than just
the sixth form.
6th form tutor Vicki Edwards says ‘I think everyone should wear them as it pro-
motes, and gives a sense of belonging, encouraging students to wear them also. It
would be a good idea to introduce them lower down the school and that it will stop
teacher student conflict’.
6th form receptionist Mrs Gough said ‘I don’t know everybody and when I see
some people I am not rude to them, but I say who are you? Redbridge college security
guards will not let anyone in at all if they do not present ID – even teachers! Mrs Leem-
ing said ‘when I go to my sons opening evening every teacher has an ID badge saying,
who they are and what they teach’. Although this approach will cost a little bit of
money, this could

before enforcing rules. For example we are currently made to wear ID badges because
of an incident that took place in lower school a couple of weeks ago. Therefore teach-
ers should be made to wear ID badges now to prevent any future incidents’.

Big Changes In the Sixth form Study Room
Sandeep Singh Reports on the Sixth
Form’s recent redesign
There have been big changes
in Chadwell heath study rooms with
the introduction of cubicles and the
restrictions on the internet blocking
YouTube and Facebook.
Management staffs in the
sixth form have no stopped students
having access to YouTube and Face-
book in the school, apart from the
Media Department who have special
privileges to use unrestricted internet.
Many students are not happy
with this as YouTube is widely used for
entertainment and for work. Last year,
face book was used by both students
and teachers, it was something to do
in the free time that we had. Initially
the restrictions on the internet was
thought to be done to stop students
being distracted however after speak-
ing to Mr Rowlands (head of IT) the
internet was to “increase bandwidth
for the rest for the rest of the school…
The rest of the school has benefited
from the increase in bandwidth” The
“This has been done
in many schools and
has worked
effectively”
restrictions on the internet have only
been done to increase the speed of
the internet for the rest of the school.
As we all know the study
rooms have been split in two. One is
for working, and is monitored by
teachers. The other is for students to
spend there times when not working.
Cubicles have now been put
in place, it has been done to help stu-
dents focus on the work and stop
them from being distracted, and also
more computers are being put in the
study rooms.
Whether this will help will be
seen over the coming months. “This
has been done in many schools and
has worked effectively” said Mr Row-
lands.
CONTROVERSY OVER CONTROL
OF THE INTERNET CONTINUES
Devpal Semi reports on the ongoing prob-
lems with internet censorship in the Sixth
From
Is restricting access of the internet
likely to benefit students? This appears to
be the motive of the ‘Chadwell Heath Foun-
dation School’. The issues regarding the
internet and the block on many websites
such as, Facebook and Youtube seem to be
an ongoing issue. Like other concerns
around the school, there seems to be an
upstaging battle between teachers and
students.
This problem started in December prior to
the A-Level exams. It was seen as a good
idea considering the importance of the ex-
ams. The concern has expanded since the
restriction of internet has continued de-
spite exams being over.
John Rowlands, the head of the ict
department said, “The restriction is based
mostly on the band width with the schools
internet server, it is only able to handle so
many people using the internet”.
Upper Sixth form student Vanisha
Patel stated, “I think it is absolutely terrible,
because I feel sites such as Youtube, Face-
book and other websites can be educa-
tional as well as for our own pleasure” she
continued to say the blockage of websites
“limits our social life”.
Sandeep Talafair a lower sixth
form student shared the same opinion, but
from the perspective of his school work. He
said “When I’m doing my P.E coursework, I
click on a link and it is blocked so it stops

me from doing my work”. Could the
restriction on the use of internet have a
negative effect on educational attain-
ment?
Gurbash Panse also stated “I
understand why the school may see this
as a potential problem since the stu-
dents would use their study time to go
on these websites and waste valuable
learning time” however he said, “Yet I
still believe A-level students are inde-
pendent and should be allowed to make
their own decisions”.
A-level students are inde-
pendent and should be al-
lowed to make their own
decisions”
An anonymous source stated,
“The school is doing this for their own
personal use, it is only urging students
to find ways of unblocking it” They also
talked about issues regarding the server.
“The school should get a better server,
since we have a right to internet, if they
can spend money on buying unneces-
sary things around the school then they
can buy a decent server.”
Statistics show 90% of stu-
dent’s states it was a drawback, with
only 10% thinking it was beneficial. So is
this in favour of the schools internet
server, or the students?

Since then, the Chadwell Heath canteen

been very positive, students and teach-
