A MESSAGE FROM HEAD OF YEAR 7
Last Friday, a group of 10 students from our Eco Committee attended the annual School Eco Conference at Holy Cross School in New Malden. The day had a packed schedule of speakers, presenters, student activities and games. This was a chance for our students to learn about environmental issues in a fun and interactive way as well as being an opportunity to have their voices heard about their ideas for ways to mitigate further damage to the environment. Yesterday, our local STEM Ambassador came in to run a Sustainability workshop in some lucky year 7 science lessons. They learned about the effects of climate change and how we can all contribute to reducing our environmental impact. We are entering the festive month with a number of competitions lined up for our Year 7 students. The Lindt competition encourages our students to design a new product that we might see on the shelves amongst the other chocolate themed products made by the company. The Christmas Card competition encourages our students to unleash their artistic talents by designing a card and our Year 7 Bake Off final takes place next week, challenging students to showcase their skills in the kitchen. Congratulations to the following bakers who will be representing their form groups next week: Zaynab N, Summer W and Denise A (7EDA); Haizea M-P, Natasha G and Bella C (7EST); Sofia C, Hayley T and Kate H (7FLE); Libby H, Jessica F and Isobel A (7FFR); Eva E, Eliza P and Belle D (7SSH); Isabella N, Lisa B and Arin Y; Matilda D, Lucy L and Izzy G (7PIR); Ameera F-H, Corinne H and Eleanor P (7PUN). I wish everybody the best of luck and I am looking forward to seeing and tasting the cakes! Congratulations to the following form groups who are our top three in this week’s house point charts: In first place we have 7SSH, followed by 7PUN and then 7PIR take third spot. I would like to remind parents that while we appreciate the need for children to have mobile phones for their journey to and from school, the phones should not be used during the school day and should be turned off and placed in lockers. If contact is needed during the school day, please use the school telephone number and any messages will be passed on. Looking ahead, on Thursday 14 December, students will be given the option of wearing a christmas jumper over their uniform if they like. More details on this will be issued in due course.
