MEET EBC’ S TIES
It is easy to tell what year a boy at Bevin is in because each year group wears a different colour tie. In September 2013 the new boys entering Year 7 will wear a yellow tie and be known as Yellow Ties until they finish Year 11. Blue Ties will move into Year 8, Red Ties to Year 9, Green Ties to Year 10 and Purple Ties to Year 11.
At the end of next year, when the Purple Ties move into the Sixth Form and don’ t have to wear a uniform anymore, they will hand over the Purple Tie to the new cohort of Year 7 joining the college in September 2014.
Ex-pupils identify themselves by their tie colour and have been known to dig out their old ties for college reunions!

I spent the last two years at an international school in Pakistan before I came to Bevin. I found it easy to make friends and really enjoy school. I like London a lot but it was a shock when it started snowing a couple of months after I started at Bevin: in Karachi it was very hot, sometimes 42 degrees!
I have really enjoyed Design Technology this year because we have made loads of different things. First of all we made a phone holder, and then we did a superhero project using graphics on the computer. In product design we made a box out of wood and acrylic and I’ m now making a lamp. Food technology was probably the best subject, I really enjoyed making all the different things to eat. I also enjoy Science and Art lessons.
Cricket is my favourite sport and I am in the school cricket team. We lost the last match by two runs but aim to win the next one. I am an all-rounder – a batter and a bowler.

EBC was my first choice secondary school and so I was really pleased to start here in Year 7. I went to Earlsfield Primary and a group of us came to Bevin together. I really enjoy English lessons and I love reading: my favourite books are the Cherub series. My favourite lesson is history because my teacher Mr Clarke really makes the lessons interesting.
I am on the College Council and have been involved in the Foodbank appeal. We are looking at getting solar panels fitted to the roof of the college because we think as a school we should lead by example.
My favourite sport is squash( I played for Wandsworth at primary school level) and I play after school. Unfortunately I can’ t play squash at Bevin but I’ m trying to change that. We’ re doing basketball and cricket this term, and I like both because they are fun team sports.

I play the trombone. I am now at Grade 4 and play in the school jazz band. I also played at Royal Festival Hall
In Year 9 we chose our GCSE options and will sit exams in those subjects. As well as the compulsory subjects [ English, Maths, Science, Citizenship, RE and PE ] I am also taking Geography, History and French. My favourite subjects are Art and English.
I came to Bevin from Wimbledon Park in Year 7 and on my first day was picked out by Mr Rodman, the music teacher, because I play the trombone. I am now at Grade 4 and play in the school jazz band. I also played at the Royal Festival Hall with the Wandsworth Youth Orchestra. I had been practising the pieces for weeks but I was nervous. Thankfully all went well and I found that I was enjoying playing music I liked amongst other young people.
I would love to continue the trombone and the orchestra and then progress up the grades as I have great experiences performing.
