Year 11

Yr 11 Leadership roles

It has been so exciting this week seeing many of the Yr 11 students self-nominating for leadership positions for Yr 12 2022. It’s hard to believe how quickly time has flown and that we are now in the final few weeks of Yr 11 and that our wonderful Year Group are soon to be the leaders of the Secondary School. Student voting has taken place this week and the process of selection will continue in the coming weeks.

Peer Support Leaders Video

Some of the Yr 11 Peer Support leaders have put together a “PEER SUPPORT VIDEO – Small” for a group of Yr 7 students to encourage them to stay positive during lockdown. This is such a great initiative involving Jemma Davies, Evie Farrell, Jacob Gold, Brianna Irvine, Ashley Manovel and Olivia Vigneault all giving heartfelt messages.

School TV: Physical Activity and Exercise

Physical activity and exercise are not only vital to a child’s overall development, but also has so many other benefits. With children spending more time on computers being sedentary, it is even more important to get kids moving. As well as maintaining a healthy weight, it also improves concentration by helping to establish connections between different parts of the brain. It helps kids develop fundamental movement skills, impacting positively on their confidence, self-esteem and ability to develop social skills. On an emotional level, it reduces stress and anxiety while improving posture and sleep. Physical activity and exercise are good for your child’s health, now and in the future. Parents should encourage their kids to move or play sport at every opportunity – in and out of school. “Research shows, regular physical activity and exercise leads to changes in the brain. It improves cognitive function, elevates mood, improves learning and reduces ‘stress chemicals’ like cortisol.” Dr Michael Carr-Gregg

I hope you all have a great week.
