6th October 2023 Dear Parent Carers, Weekly Update: 06/10/23 I hope this update finds you well. This half term is flying by, with 3 weeks to go until the break. There is still lots to come, including our first Parent Carer Coffee Morning at the Arboretum Café on Tuesday 10th October, and our Mini Monster Marathon on Wednesday 25th October. This will be the third year that we have held the mini marathon in school, and hope that you will be able to join us for one of the activities. Head Student Elections On Friday last week, we held elections for the role of Head Student. We had 11 students stand for election, and the votes were so close that instead of having 2 Head Students, we now have 4! As part of the election process, the candidates produced posters, spoke in assemblies or produced a video – for many of them, this was out of their comfort zone. We are so proud of our students for wanting to make a positive contribution to our school community. Well done to Joe, Ezra, Roisin and Owen on becoming Head Students. We are excited to work with you over the year as you step into this new role together. Celebration of UK Commercial Radio Did you know that UK commercial radio is celebrating its 50th anniversary this weekend? One of our Year 11 students, Brodie, has produced a video and quiz in his own time to celebrate this milestone. Brodie’s video has all of the jingles and logos of the radio stations, as well as a quiz which could well be featured on Mastermind! Students will have the chance to watch the video and take part in the quiz on Monday next week. Brodie – we are proud of you, your knowledge and enthusiasm for bringing the school together.
