Break duties ***NEW ROTA***

We have tried to make everything fair and equitable on the new rota, so if you notice something not great just let us know and we will work on it.

From this.....

To this:

Early success in the cafeteria. Many thanks to the staff on duty for their diligence.

Teachers have reported several examples of rudeness by our students, both primary and secondary when addressing the cafeteria staff. Let's do all we can to encourage patience and manners in our students and always challenge rudeness if you experience it. Maybe next Character Ed lesson?...

Assembly

Classes 2-3 and 5-1 led assembly this week. The National Anthem was sung brilliantly for the second week in a row!

2-3 educated us about different environments and how to protect them

5-1 taught us about the atmosphere...

Mr Michael announced the House Points winners
