Week B Commencing 8th October 2018
Message of the Week
Welcome to week 6. Wednesday is World Mental Health Day and this year’s focus is on young people from the ages of 8 to 24.
To find out more, visit the website: https://mhfaengland.org/mhfa-centre/campaigns/world-mental-health-day-2018/
Resources include tips for anyone working, or living, with young people, as well as guidance for young people to help them to take care of their own mental health.
Continuing the focus on young people’s mental health, our Theme for the Week is looking after our own mental health. Life can be tough and it’s important to be kind to ourselves as much as others.
Golden Antler Winners
Every week, the tutor groups with the highest number of 5s (for great attitudes to learning) are awarded a Golden Antler trophy. Following the award of the trophy, the tutor arranges for a celebratory photograph to be taken. It is then displayed around school.
Last week, the Lower School Golden Antlers winner was …
… 7M1. Well done again to the students in this form group who earned the highest number of 5s.
And winner of the Middle School Golden Antlers was …
…9P1. Well done to Pepys.

Hot Chocolate Friday is targeted at students who behave impeccably but are too easily overlooked. We want them to know we notice.
