Cadbury's got talent!
Cadbury College Student Guild celebrated the end of term by hosting a sell-out student talent show on 18th December 2012.
It was an amazing night, with 150 students buying tickets to see their fellow students take part in an X factor style competition, with our very own Gary, Tulisa, Nicole and Louis (aka students Mohammed, Elizabeth, Humzah, plus Kathryn Hale, Drama and Theatre Studies teacher).
12 acts took to the stage showcasing their individual talents in front of a sell-out audience. With a variety of singers, actors, dancers and musicians, the talent was top notch!
Check out the photos on facebook and view films of each act on our Youtube Channel.
The overall winners were dance act JJS, formed by A2 students Josh Osei, Jimi Oketunji and Seth Sule. Second place was awarded to self-taught pianist Scott Thacker and guitar playing singer songwriter Laura Williamson came third.
The talent show was organised by the Student Guild, a student led body promoting student welfare, representing student views and organising social activities for students at Cadbury College. The Student Guild is made up of 5 officers, who are all current students at the college, and are elected on an annual basis.
A special mention also to current Student Guild President Shimon Atunde who did an amazing job as host of the event, keeping a lively crowd entertained and amused throughout the evening!
Brilliant night, huge congratulations to all acts and organisers!

Cadbury College poets get published!
We thought we would give our budding poets and writers a little exposure by including some of their work in the student blog. Here's a bit of background on how it all happened.
Eleven students, who are studying a range of English courses including AS and A2 English Literature and Language and GCSE English Language, decided to enter the Young Writers’ The Poetry Games Competition, as a way to develop their writing skills.

The poems were selected to feature in The Poetry Games Birmingham and Wolverhampton Anthology, which will be published in February 2013. Some of the
students may also be picked to go on to the next stage of the national poetry
competition. (Good luck everyone!)
AS Level
English Language and Literature students Shakila Begum and Ruth Matanda are two
of the students who will see their poems in print. Ruth’s poem ‘Beauty is
Pain’ is about a person who tries to re-model himself through plastic surgery,
whilst Shakila’s poem ‘Wild Child’ explores themes of culture and
society when a rich African boy tries to embrace a different life through
animal eyes.

being published in The Poetry Games Birmingham and Wolverhampton Anthology are listed below. You can click on the links below to read some of the poems.
