This week House Scholar, Alex Carr, used the 6 Form Trial Exam results as his basis for awarding the Elvis Trophy. Stuart McLeish and Olly Chapman were the top performers but it was decided  Olly Chapman should be Student of the Week.

Notices

• The timings for the PSHCE Drugs Talk are on the board - please be punctual.
• On Saturday supper will be a takeaway from 17.40 - 18.00 to fit in with half-time of the rugby.

School Council Feedback

We went through the minutes of the last meeting and gave some of the staff's responses. It is clear that the students now have a much stronger voice and some really good things are being done across the College as a consequence of student suggestions.

In Hesperus the upstairs shower room is already being improved.

High Standards

It has been an excellent term but we must ensure we maintain our highest standards of effort and behaviour during the last two weeks.

There have been one or two incidents of poor behaviour in lessons and this must stop immediately. Please ensure we finish the Lent Term in a really positive way.

Mr Paynter and I will be keeping a close eye on:

Punctuality, Tidiness, Organisation, Appearance, Effort and Behaviour
