Congratulations to Elieana Economou Henna Ishaq who will have a work placement at the Westminster offices of Any Love MP this July/August.
Elieana and Henna will have the opportunity to view and experience the day to day workings of parliament. Maybe it will sow a seed for a future career path?

Point Blunt
On the 4th of April, my campaign group Point Blunt Visited Turin Grove sixth formers to give a presentation on knife crime.
Knife crime has been a serious issue in London, North and East especially, for quite some time now. We wanted to talk to some students to ask their opinions on why this is happening and to make sure they know that there are so many opportunities out there for them, that if they choose to live this life, there is a way out. You always have a choice in life, some choices are harder to see than others but it's up to you as adults and the youth of London to see them and find them and make them.
We were extremely impressed with the maturity shown by years 12 and 13 and appreciated their co-operation greatly.
On behalf of Point Blunt I would like to thank all the students who spoke to us and answered our questions, I would also like to thank Mr. Casey and Mr. Cochrane for giving us this opportunity.

Are you interested in politics?
Do you want to be involved in politics?
There is an opportunity for one or more of our students to work closely in the office of a local MP during the month of August.
If you are interested then please put together a covering letter/CV of why you are particularly interested in politics and why you would like to work in an MP's office.
This is a fantastic opportunity to see and experience the world of politics from the front line.
Please return to Mr Casey's tray or email to caseye@salisbury.enfield.sch.uk before Friday March 13th.
Thank you

Enfield Young Peoples Commission
Two Fridays ago, a few of us were given a very useful and exciting opportunity to attend a workshop at Enfield Civic Centre. This was based around knife crime and youth opportunities following a number of youth fatalities in the borough.
The day didn't start too well, what with us having to be in school by 08.00 a.m., the weather being miserable and Ade being miserable, due to the loss of his phone!
As we reached the Civic Centre, the sun finally decided to show its face, putting us in a good mood, so that we could start enjoying our day.
Our first impression on entering the Civic Centre was that it was going to be a very long and ponderous day. However, that all changed once the workshop started and we were able to get involved, along with various other colleges and sixth forms from Enfield. We were able to give our opinions and suggestions on a range of issues from how to stop youth offending to what out of school activities could be made available for young people in Enfield.
It was very refreshing to see so many young people showing genuine concern about their community and being very eager and pertinacious to make their voice heard (La Cara!!!).
Overall the workshop was extremely helpful and enjoyable and it also managed to persuade us that knife carrying was unacceptable, even when carried in self-defence! You are more likely to be injured by carrying a knife and there is NO safe place to stab someone!
The only downfall of the day was the lack of vegetarian food at lunch (vegetarians rule!)
We would like to thank Mr Casey for taking us to the Civic Centre and to the staff at the Civic Centre for their hospitality on the day.

Levi Roots visits Turin Grove
Last Friday, 200 college students and some business studies students had the opportunity to listen to and meet with Levi Roots.
Levi Roots is a reggae musician, chef and entrepreneur currently residing in Brixton, South London.
He has also sung Happy Birthday to Nelson Mandela and played football with Bob Marley! He has performed with James Brown and Maxi Priest and was nominated for a MOBO award in 1998
Reggae Reggae sauce is a jerk barbecue sauce made to his grandmother's "secret recipe". Levi has been using the sauce at his food stall at the annual Notting Hill Carnival since 1991. In 2006, the sauce was available for sale at the carnival, with 4000 bottles sold.
He later took the sauce to a food trade show, where he was spotted by a BBC producer who approached him to appear on Dragons' Den. He appeared in the first episode of the fourth series, and offered a 20% stake of his business in return for £50,000. He was offered the £50,000 for a 40% stake in his business by Peter Jones and Richard Farleigh.
The day before speaking with Turin Grove students, Levi had bought back 20% of his business from the Dragons for £225,000. We were the first school in the country to be told this news-another first for Turin Grove! Today Reggae Reggae sauce outsells Heniz Tomato ketchup!
He told students his inspiring and interesting story; from learning the recipe of his Reggae Reggae sauce from his grandmother in Jamaica to his upcoming album.
Students also received signed copies of bottles of his Reggae Reggae sauce and his cookbook.
Mr Casey
Bank of England Trip
Last Wednesday, Business Studies and Economics students in Year 12 and 13 and Mr Casey, Mr Hood and Mr Percival had the opportunity to go to the Bank of England in central London. We learnt many interesting things on our visit. We learnt that a stable financial system is a key ingredient for a healthy and successful economy. People need to have confidence that the system is safe and stable, and that it functions properly. It is also important that problems in particular areas do not lead to wider disruption across the financial system.
The Bank of England's role is to contribute to maintaining the stability of the UK financial system. It aims to identify and draw attention to potential vulnerabilities and risks and to assist in efforts to ensure the system remains resilient and risks are reduced.
Substantial work is underway in the light of the recent financial market turmoil to help rebuild confidence in financial institutions, and to reduce the likelihood and impact of a recurrence.

This past week, we've been set a challenge. To look after a baby for a week. I know what you're thinking: who, in their right minds would give their child to an 18 year old to look after?! Fear not, they're dolls. We all exchanged curious looks as Mr.Casey told us we'd be parents for the week. I must say, if you haven't walked into a kebab shop with a baby doll then you haven't lived, that's all i'm saying. I wondered for a while why we However, it did get me thinking how i would handle a real child, a real little baby. Having a child is for life.............not just for a week!

So after naming my baby Izzy and deciding whether she looks more like Collin Farell, Dave Grohl or Eddie Vedder (hey it COULD happen), I actually grew quite attached.

100% Pass rate at Salisbury College in 2007!!
'These results are excellent'
Enfield Independent Wednesday 22nd August 2007
STUDENTS at Enfield secondary schools have been celebrating their A-level results this week, with a pass rate of over 96 per cent. So far Enfield's pass rate stands at 96.1 per cent, a fraction under the national average of 96.9 per cent, but results from two schools are still to come.
Outstanding schools included Salisbury School, where every
A-level exam taken was passed.
Enfield Council's school improvement chief, Neil Rousell, said: "These are great results from all of our students, who have mastered a range of subjects in a wide variety of examinations. "With still more results to come from two more schools, we look to be on course for a record number of entrants and our best pass rate.
"Congratulations to the students and teachers - it is a superb result."
The Enfield pass rate at AS-level, the first year of A-level courses, was 86.3 per cent, slightly under the 87.8 per cent passed nationally. Over 72 per cent of A-level exams taken were passed at grades A-C, while over a quarter were passed with A grades.
Council leader, Cllr Mike Rye, said: "These results are excellent. The percentage of passes at grade A has improved by five per cent on last year and is over two per cent more than the national trend this year. "Congratulations to all the students and I wish them well in their future studies and careers."
