Attitude & Form Representatives

This morning we were lucky enough to have a Year group presentation from an organisation called Attitude who specialize in student-targeted advice. Today's theme was friendships. It covered what it means to be a good friend, how to meet new people, and the impact bullying can have on social matters. Our visiting speaker, Johnny, engaged the students for a full hour, recounting tales of his own high school experience, what they can expect from a friendship, and how to deal with bullying. I enjoyed it thoroughly (he might as well be a stand-up comedian!) and am hoping every student in our year group took something from today. I'm sure a great conversation could be had at home this week as to what each student got out of today's presentation. 

On a different note, now seems as good a time as any to introduce our Year 9 student leadership team for 2016. These 12 students make up our Year 9 Form Representatives who will work closely with our Year 13 Student Executive to plan events, activities, and convey the other students views to School management. These students were elected through a Form Class vote. There are two representatives from each Form Class.
