AS Media Leo Bell: September 2015

Congratulations to former Wyke drama student Rob Aramayo on securing a high profile role on the HBO historical drama “Lewis and Clark”.

After leaving Wyke in 2012, Rob took up a place at the Juilliard School of Drama in New York, USA. Rob will play the role of John Ordway in a cast that includes Brad Pitt, Tom Hanks and Edward Norton.

Filming for the TV drama is set to start in Canada this month.

Mark Lucid, Head of P.E. and Sport at Wyke Sixth Form College, is ecstatic about the recent performance of his students.

“This year has seen the College walk away with ten major sporting trophies this year, seven of these being league championship titles!” But when asked about the recent successes, he wants to talk about participation.

“The College have also organised leagues with other local colleges to increase participation, and that’s been a huge success.”

As for the seven league championship titles, the College’s First, Second and Third Men’s Football teams all won their respective leagues, as did the First and Second Netball teams, on top of which, the Netball First team also won the Hull Schools District Cup and the County Cup.The icing on the cake has been the Women’s Football team getting to the National Cup Final, which is held in Walsall, near Birmingham, where Mark says “Our girls performed valiantly but sadly lost to Southampton’s Itchen College.“They put in a fantastic effort, and it is the first time we have been able to get that far.

Yet again, students at Wyke Sixth Form College have shown a combination of talent and hard work to achieve outstanding success. This, combined with superb teaching and the best possible facilities, has meant that 99.8% of students have achieved a pass grade at A-level with 36 subjects achieving 100% pass rate.
