 The Second Half of Term

There are only 5 weeks until the Easter holiday and only 3 weekends in the second half of term. The end of term will be here very quickly so we must ensure we make the most of our time. It is a crucial 5 weeks!

Before half-term we focused on our manners and organisation. These continue to be important but we have a new target for the second half of term:

Win the 100% - Olly Chapman has been asked to lead our training and we will have training runs on a Wednesday morning (7.00) and Friday Central Hour (14.00).

The lessons I've learned.....

From next week the L6 students will speak in Muster about the lessons they've learnt at Pangbourne and offer advice on how to be successful.

As a taste of what's to come here are 6 lessons from US President Barack Obama:

1. Learn from your Father
2. Be there for your family
3. Manage time, Manage yourself
4. Think
5. Quit smoking
6. If you want to avoid disappointing others, don't disappoint yourself

We also heard advice from a number of Upper 6:

• Alex Carr - Seek help and use all resources available to you
• Olly Chapman - Take risks with your work - don't be afraid of mistakes
• Seb Guest - It's never too late to improve, be determined to succeed
• Stuart McLeish - Revise in a group, it really helps me to learn
• Charles Guest - Get involved in Pangbourne life, you'll have more fun
• Will Read - Make mistakes but don't skin a cat (thanks Will!)
