Gratitude Boxes

The senior leadership team have created up three boxes which you can find just out front of the house leaders office, these are known as the gratitude boxes. Gratitude means the state of being grateful or thankful. We have been amazed with the contributions to this and we will continue with these until we can share them at house assemblies. Thank you so much to everyone who’s showing some gratitude towards others within our school, and keep it up through this week! 

Thanks again, your community captains
