Bayside school’s SEN (Special Educational Needs) department held an open morning to display work done by students following the ASDAN course. ASDAN stands for Award Scheme Development Accreditation Network and is a recognised qualification in the UK. The students have worked extremely hard to gain enough credits for the Bronze Award.

‘This year has been hard work but the results speak for themselves. The boys have taken pride in their work and they will be given their well-deserved certificates in August,’ said Melba Noguera, Special Educational Needs Coordinator at Bayside School.

Next year these students will move on to achieve the Silver Award.

On Friday 28th June the special needs boys from Bayside Comprehensive School presented a cheque for £351.45 to Cancer Relief Gibraltar. The idea had come about following the loss of one of the boys’ parents to cancer. They collected money from family and friends and did a sponsored rock climb up the wall in the Bayside sports complex. As well as raising money for a good cause, the boys really enjoyed themselves.
