End of Year Events

Earlier this week I communicated with families in regard to the numerous end of year arrangements. I encourage all families to discuss the below with their sons. What is essential in terms of the below is the manner in which we approach the end of the year. Finishing off to the best of our ability, making the most of the time we have left to get assessments in, to ask questions, getting involved in cocurricular opportunities and to find out ways to continue to improve. What is key to this success is our working relationship with one another. As a community we rely on each other to support and challenge us, it does however, take all parties to achieve this.

Looking out for Each Other

With a wide variety of initiatives on display at the College it is always important to reinforce how we look out for one another and the important role we play in everyone’s well-being. I encourage our young men to step up and speak up for not only themselves but for others. Of particular note I would like to commend those involved in the below and to remind our boys of the support of offer with our College;

  • RUOK Day Initiatives
  • Year 11 Mental Health Training
  • Student Self-Referral form
  • Bullying Notification form
  • Speaking with PC Teacher and/or Head of House
