Autumn term 2 is always a busy time in the year, but we loved how hard Year 8 worked on explaining the effects of Hurricane Milton today that we just had to share their ideas! Well done 8Q1 🙌

Wow look at the size of Hurricane Melissa’s eye Y11 😱

The US Air Force Reserve Hurricane Hunters flew straight through Category 5 Hurricane Melissa, capturing an incredible view from inside the storm’s eye.

Reading for writing in geography. Today Year 8 read a challenging piece of text (12-14 reading age) and together we highlighted key vocabulary we didn’t know and learnt to summarise the text on the other. Brilliant understanding Year 8! 📚 #literacy

@StBernadettesrc Amazing work Year 1 🌍💪

What a hard working bunch our Y11 #geographers are 💪🌍 Tuesday night revision blast in full swing

[Holy Family Geography Department @HFCGeography]

‘Never be afraid to try something new’ Y11 carried out a new formative assessment technique we wanted to try yesterday. Each group was given a different colour to annotate the landforms. Then we had to visit each of the different tables and improve each other’s work ✅

We are so excited to welcome Year 7 and 11 into school today. Years 8,9 and 10 see you tomorrow. Wishing lots of luck on everyone’s first day of the 2025.26 school year!

[Holy Family Geography Department @HFCGeography]

Wishing all our students a happy, restful and safe summer holiday 🌞 We will look forward to seeing Year 11 return for results day and the rest of school back on the 3rd of September! Well done on everything you have achieved this year Holy Family! 📚

The last two days of Interhouse have been an absolute pleasure. Two days of hard work, two days of new activities but most of all two days where our Holy Family spirit has shone through. A huge well done to everyone who helped to finish the HFC Eco garden! 🪻🌼🌷

[Holy Family Geography Department @HFCGeography]

And that’s a wrap! Geography fieldwork complete for another year 💪 Well done everyone and thank you for always being amazing 🌍

Aren’t we a lucky bunch, studying a subject where we get to spend so much time outdoors 🌍 Orienteering up Rivington Pike today for our GCSE fieldwork. HFC were fabulous as always 💪

Today 8P1 loved trialling the ClassVR headsets to bring far away environments to life in the classroom 🌍 Exciting things to come for the new 2025.26 curriculum!

Year 10 loved having an A level Geology introduction today by @RochdaleSFC! We learned how crucial it is to have a variety of data, such as rock type & flood risk, when choosing the most suitable location for a nuclear waste facility. Thank you Dr Entwistle
