PLAYERS IN THE CLASSROOM
It's not everyday you get to say that you were learning along side two professional footballers, but that has been the case this term at the study centre. Sheffield Wednesdays first team and academy players have been joining in at the study centre, supporting the lessons and offering an insight into the life of a player.

Some pupils interviewed the players about the greatest game they'd ever played in, while some pupils had players accompany them on ground tours to tell them exactly what its like to walk out at Hillsborough in front of 25,000 supporters.
Sheffield Wednesday captain Lee Bullen, was interviewed by a group of children all about his career, one question about which clubs he had played for turned into a discussion about how many different countries he had played in.

The players have not only helped out in the classroom whilst the children were in the centre but, have also provided time for the centre to shoot video footage of them, like the website introduction on our home page. Four players, two from the first team and two from the academy also found time to attend our end of term presentation evening. The study centre team wish to thank Brian Laws and Sean McAuley as well as all of the players in the senior and academy squads for their support of the study centre.

HAVE YOUR SAY
With the new term we have added another new feature to the website. This time we are giving parents, teachers or anyone who has had contact with the centre the opportunity to leave us comments. This is your chance to tell us what you think about us. Find the page here or visit the 'What People say' page.

CELEBRATING SUCCESS SPRING 2008

The Study Centre celebrated the end of the Spring term in style with a massive presentation event in the club's Chatsworth Suite.
More than 300 people joined in the celebration that saw nearly 100 learners receive certificates and awards from the night's special guests Etienne Esajas and Jermaine Johnson from the first team and Aaron Mulligan and Mukhtar Mohammed from the clubs academy side.

The evening is aimed at celebrating the hard work of the youngsters who have attended the centre's Playing for Success programme (which is also celebrating its 10th anniversary this year) from September. The evening kicked off with a video showcasing what the learners had been up to during the term and included clips of speed stacking (used to teach averages), virtual athletics (used to teach rank order and graphs) and a video ground tour.

Following the video Centre Tutor Lynn gave an introduction about the Study Centre and this term's activities before beginning the presentation of certificates and work to each learner.

There was a special thank you to all the volunteer mentors who gave their time freely to help the young people at the centre, to the drivers and escorts who always get the learners to and from the Study Centre safely and to the club for their continued support to the programme.

The evening was rounded off with a set of special awards for learners from each class who had done something during the term which had really stuck in the minds of the centre staff as being something particularly kind or helpful or for a sustained effort and commitment throughout the term.

All the staff at the centre wish to thank everyone who attended the presentation evening and the staff at Sheffield Wednesday for making the night so enjoyable.
