Resilience and Wellbeing Home Group Activities

Over the last week students have been participating in their last session of Code of Conduct.

This week’s focus has been Bullying.

Students have been discussing different types of bullying and strategies to deal with bullying.

Students have spoken about what they can do and where they can go if they are being bullied or see someone being bullied.

The students engaged in this activity with maturity and were honest and open with their responses.

This will be our opportunity to reflect on the year that has been. All students will be attending the assembly. We also welcome parents to come along .

Year 7 Captains

What a busy couple of weeks we have had this term. Final CATs and assignments being due.

This week I'm sure most of the Year 7 students including myself will be spending their time finishing off any due CATs and assignments.

End of Term activities are coming up, so make sure you have all due tasks handed in so you can make the most of the festive period.

I hope you have a fun rest of term and holiday.
