Sometimes dreams do come true. |

Congratulations to Gorran School on the opening of the multi-use trail for walkers and cyclists. The track runs from Gorran Haven to Gorran, creating a walking link between the two villages avoiding the busy road. There is a new entrance to the school onto the path and a large new bike shed provides plenty of space for children's bikes.
The project started in earnest in 2009 when the Dream Catchers project run by The Eden Project bought together the right groups of people from Cornwall Council and Sustrans help make the ‘dream' a reality.
A launch party was held by the school to celebrate the achievement and lots of pupils, now at The Roseland Community College, who had been part of the project team in the past were invited back to see the opening of the path.
Sometimes it takes a while for dreams to come true and it is worth celebrating when they do. Congratulations to all those involved.

 Congratulations to the Roseland Community College's Ten Tors 35mile Team who took part in the Ten Tors Challenge this weekend! The team pushed themselves to their limits, carrying all of their camping, walking, and cooking equipment across the moor, facing 2 days of scorching sunshine and very cold and frosty nights! We are sure that the team have lots of stories and great memories from the weekend, including Rory discovering how easy it is to fall waist deep into a bog, following a fine example from Mr. Avery a few months before during a training session.
The team completed their challenge at 3:30 on Sunday afternoon, after leaving Okehampton Camp at 7am on Saturday Morning, and were welcomed home by Miss Jobson, Mr Avery, Parents, Siblings and Dogs, who are all very proud of the teams' accomplishments!
The team were: Will Gilder (Team leader), Rory Jago, Tom Morgan, Noah Semonin, Osian Webser-Bidder and Roo Cockton (unfortunately dropped out on Saturday evening due to heat exhaustion).
A radio interview conducted by the ARMY, interviewing Will Gilder before the event is available here!
Congratulations!!
Miss Jobson

Big Voice needs a Big Vote |
 On Saturday 12th May, Rachael O'Brien, Verity Annear and Jackie Trudgeon travelled to Bristol to see the live screening of their entry to BT's Big Voice film competition in the city's Millennium Square. Entitled 'The Baywatch Project', the film was devised by the girls and Martyn Duff and Matt Butler (who were unable to attend the Bristol event) with the aim of highlighting the need for more beach safety awareness and more support for the RNLI. The only Cornish entry to get through to the national final, the final 'Baywatch Project' film was produced by final year students at Falmouth University.
Getting through to this stage is itself a fantastic achievement but The Roseland team now need your votes to win one of BT's overall awards. Please visit BT Big Voice to watch all the final films and to vote for 'The Baywatch Project'.
Well done to Rachael, Verity and Jackie for taking to the stage on Saturday and thanks to John Parker-Rees, Abigail Gissey and the whole Falmouth team for all their hard work in producing such a fantastic final film. Many thanks too to parents Paul and Michelle Annear and Pat O'Brien for joining us on Saturday.
Miss Morgan.
