Wellbeing Report
Hello from the wellbeing team,
The days are getting colder as we draw closer to winter and we are noticing many jumpers both named and unnamed lying around the school constantly. It can be near impossible to reunite a student with their jumper if it is not clearly named. There is no need to worry about iron-on labels or stickers if you do not have those, simply writing their name in permanent marker is usually very effective. If you are in need of a second-hand school jumper (or any other uniform piece), please come and visit the wellbeing team as we have many available for sale.
Sally is also running a free uniform giveaway on Wednesday 14th May from 2.30pm onwards. You will find her outside of the community pantry area, which is in the main courtyard. There will be various sizes and uniform pieces available for free.

Breakfast Club
If you would like your child to make use of our yummy breakfast foods, send them to school that bit earlier so they will have time to eat and enjoy their food. We serve toast until the music is playing for the start of the school day. Please remind your child that if they want to have something to eat before school that they need to head straight down to the German Room. While the music for the bell is playing there are only fruit cups and milk drinks available.
Food Pantry
The food pantry is open on Monday, Wednesday and Friday afternoons between 2:30 and 3:30pm. Please note the pantry will close early on Monday’s. We have a range of foods, including gluten and lactose free items and on Wednesday’s we have fresh carrots and fruit, apples, pears and oranges. If you are in need of a pantry top up please stop by and pick something up.
