Enrichment opportunities

At Newman Sixth we have a strong close-knit community that enjoy spending time together and supporting each other beyond the classroom. We offer a diverse range of clubs, societies and trips, most of which are led by our current students and made possible by our fantastic Chamber. These enrichment activities are in addition to our events on the calendar such as the ‘Culture Party’, ‘Christmas Bazaar’, ‘Hello Yellow’ day to raise awareness of positive Mental Health and our termly ‘Socials’.
