‘Show Racism the Red Card’
Our ABC, Anti Bullying Committee, distributed thirty ‘Show
racism the red card’ cards this week to each Tutor Group. This initiative follows on from our anti- racism assembly last
term. The aim is that all students and staff will sign a card, which the ABC will
then use to create a large mosaic of our school badge. It will signify the
whole school coming together, unified in their action against racism.
PTA Quiz Night
Friday 22nd April was the first fund raising event for the Library Project following the launch to parents. This increasingly popular event proved to be highly competitive, as well as good fun. The winners were The Science Department Team.
A very simple way of supporting the school is the 'Easygiving' website, through which we earn money, at no cost to you. Help us to support your child by shopping online through this site.

Assembly this Week
Mr Jennings delivered an assembly on the theme of 'Change and Challenge'. Students were asked, with the help of a video, to look forward to 2028 and to consider the changes that might take place over the next twelve years. Questions were then posed about how we all prepare for possible changes and how we deal with change in our own lives. This developed into consideration of the skills that we all need to help us to manage change and linked with the learning competencies being developed at Winston.
