On Sunday 30 November, a joint team of cadets from Chichester High School and CFS Chichester took part in Exercise Christmas Cracker 25, a ‘National Radio Net’ High Frequency (HF) radio competition - with teams from the ACF, CCF and RAFAC. The aim was simple but challenging: make contact with as many stations across the United Kingdom as possible over a 6-hour period, using HF communications from each team’s home location. Preparations began early, with cadets and staff setting up their station on the CHS playing fields. Our team successfully erected two 12-metre masts and operated the PRC-720 radio with skill and determination. Conditions throughout the day were tough, with fluctuating propagation making communication unpredictable, but this only added to the challenge. For some of our team, it was their first real experience of HF radio - and they rose to the occasion brilliantly. Throughout the day, contacts were made across the country, including our furthest confirmed contact on the East Coast of Yorkshire. Points were awarded based on both the number of successful contacts and the distances achieved. By the close of the competition at 1500 hrs, the Chichester team had secured the highest overall score, including a total of 13252km ‘air miles’. We are proud to announce that our joint team achieved first place in the competition! The day was enjoyed by all involved, providing an extended opportunity for our cadets to develop practical radio skills, understand the nuances of HF communication, and experience the teamwork required to run an effective field station. A huge well done to all cadets and staff who took part - an outstanding effort and a fantastic achievement for our CCFs! #WeTHRIVEatCHS #CCF #cadets TKAT - The Kemnal Academies Trust

We were delighted to welcome Chichester High School and CHS Sixth Form alumna Madeleine Halsey, who has just completed her first term at University of Oxford studying French and Portuguese - following an exceptional set of A-level results. Maddie visited to share valuable advice with our Year 13 students preparing for Oxford interviews and to offer top tips to our English Literature students. She will be returning in January to speak with Year 12 students aspiring to Oxbridge and to provide her top study strategies. Maddie was also thrilled to reconnect with some of her former A-level teachers after achieving outstanding grades of A*A*A* in English Literature, French and History. #WeTHRIVEatCHS

We had an absolutely fantastic turnout for the Santa Run this morning! A huge thank-you to all the schools who took part (150 Reception to Year 2 children!) and made such an incredible effort to dress up - your festive outfits, enthusiasm, and energy brought the whole event to life and created a truly magical atmosphere. We are also extremely grateful to the companies who kindly donated vouchers and discount codes for the goody bags. Your generosity helped make the day feel even more special for everyone involved. A special thank-you goes to Sean and Gemma from the Schools Sport Partnerships - SSP https://www.westsussexwestssp.co.uk/ for their support, organisation, and encouragement throughout the event. And of course, our wonderful sports ambassadors deserve recognition for their hard work, positivity, and dedication - they helped ensure everything ran smoothly and made the Santa Run the success it was. Thank you to everyone who contributed. We couldn’t have done it without you!

Year 7 Football Tournament The Year 7 football team put in an outstanding effort throughout their tournament, showing determination and real teamwork from start to finish. After an impressive run that saw them reach the semi-finals of the Cup, they narrowly missed out on a place in the final. Undeterred, they bounced back brilliantly in the Plate competition, fighting hard in every match and earning a well-deserved second place. It was a fantastic achievement and a performance they should all be proud of. Players of the Tournament - Alice Williams & Sadie Finch #WeTHRIVEatCHS Thank you to our kit sponsors Octopus Energy

Year 9 Netball Tournament The Year 9 netball team delivered an outstanding performance at their recent tournament, showing brilliant skill and determination throughout the day. They dominated their group stage, winning every match and conceding just one goal - a testament to their strong defence and teamwork. In the final, they faced a tough Regis side and, despite a hard-fought game, narrowly missed out on the top spot. Nevertheless, the team should be incredibly proud of their efforts, as every player contributed to an impressive and memorable tournament run.

Over the weekend of 6–7 December, our Year 9 students began their Bronze DofE training in preparation for their expeditions in May and June. On Saturday, students took part in a range of practical sessions including navigation, kit preparation, first aid, and cooking. They were fortunate with the weather, as the rain held off for all outdoor activities. Sunday saw the students put their navigation skills into practice with a training walk. Although the weather turned and they spent much of the walk in the rain, spirits remained high - especially once they returned to enjoy hot drinks and plenty of snacks. Overall, the students had a fantastic weekend. They enjoyed valuable downtime in the hall and accommodation, strengthening friendships and building strong teamwork skills. #WeTHRIVEatCHS

The CHS Ambassadors were back at North Mundham this week, once again rolling up their sleeves to help build the set for the school’s annual nativity. Just like last time, they brought fantastic enthusiasm, teamwork, and a real sense of pride in supporting the younger pupils. From painting backdrops to assembling props, they worked together brilliantly and helped bring the children’s ideas to life. It was lovely to see them reconnect with staff and pupils, and to build on the relationships they started on their previous visit. A huge well done to all involved - your creativity and community spirit continue to make a real difference! #WeTHRIVEatCHS

This week at Forest School, the students began the session with a walk to the farm shop to collect ingredients for their mid-morning cook. The day started with a clear sky, a light drizzle, and a beautiful rainbow stretching overhead. On the way to the farm shop, we stopped in to check on the sheep and pigs. Once back at base camp, the students got busy building the fire before moving straight on to crafting wooden stars to hang on their doors for Christmas - complete with a delicate star carved for the centre. Their creations turned out far too big to fit into the minibus! #WeTHRIVEatCHS

Sixth Form Netball The sixth-form netball team faced an exceptionally tough match against Newman College, but their focus never wavered. Even as the pressure mounted, they supported and motivated one another, showing real resilience and teamwork. Though the final score didn’t fall in their favour, their determination and encouragement on court reflected the true spirit of the team.
