The annual Rotary Clubs of York Technology Tournament took place on Tuesday 10 March and, once again, Brayton College were the only school in the area to take part. Year 9 students Jasmin Churm, Joe Clements, Sam Eady, Reece Foster, Leanne Middleton, Katie Robinson, Sam Selley and Jordan Smith made up 2 teams and put in a fantastic effort to design and make a ‘launcher'.

Twelve of our Year 7-9 students attended Selby High for the day to participate in the Selby Singing Transition Project. They learnt five songs from memory and rehearsed on Wednesday lunchtimes in preparation for the final performance. They performed alongside a number of other local schools in an afternoon performance that parents could attend.

This event was organised by Cathy Roberts Music Advisor for North Yorkshire. The students had a tiring day rehearsing and performed brilliantly.

On Saturday 7 March 2009 a group of students (ten Year 8's and two Year 7's) went to the University of Leeds to take part in a Pop Maths Quiz. This was the first time Leeds had hosted such an event. As we arrived we had to find the Great Hall which was just as grand as its name suggests. The students split into two teams; on each team table there were drinks, pens and foam puzzles to do while we waited for other teams to arrive. Each team had to answer 20 questions that were read out with a 3 minute gap between each one.
