It’s hard to believe that we are already half way through the summer term and year 11 and year 13 students are part way through the summer exam season. We have been incredibly proud of their determination so far and hope they are able to get some rest, alongside some further revision ready to go again after the half term break. Mental Health Awareness Week 2023, the theme this year is anxiety. As a school community, we highlighted, as we regularly do, mental health and wellbeing and in particular, focussing on recognising and coping with anxiety and stress. This took place through assembly time and as per our letter, students and staff were invited to ‘wear it green for mental health’ on Friday 26th May 2023 where students (and staff) were invited to wear a single item of green alongside their usual school uniform (Letter Link) to show our acknowledgement of the importance of mental health and wellbeing. Please see later on in the bulletin for some of our resources and tips which have been shared with students. RVHS Mock General Elections took place last week. We aim to offer students a realistic experience of exercising their democratic right to vote and to have a good understanding of how the process works. Our year 12 politics students put together some brilliant manifesto’s based on existing political parties (disguised under another name) and delivered these in assemblies and in our last house week, academic mentors then discussed these with students. Last Friday students then visited the RVHS Polling Station and cast their votes … please see later on in the bulletin for photos … and the results! Superb turnout! This was our 5th House week for this academic year. Students have been focused on our theme of the week ‘community’ and gearing up for our final house event of the summer term, sports day. It has been great to see our students mixing across year groups and working collaboratively. We have asked students to produce designs for a house shield, to give each house a greater sense of identity.
