Year 11

Round Square week, has been packed full of activities every day. The big events we have enjoyed have been the Prescott Puppy Pageant, Lester WaterAid Charity event, teacher student debates, dance instruction, various culture club activities and a thrift stall. Round Square week’s theme this year is ‘Take Less Be More’. It has been a culmination of various Houses, groups and clubs working across the school, with a significant amount of Year 11 students busy contributing.

Luminary time this week also involved a Round Square initiative with discussions around ethical leadership and democracy led by our Luminary Representatives. Also in Luminary this week we had a Big Sister Little Sister session and Year 11 led discussions for healthy holidays with Year 7 students.

On Wednesday there were a series of Consent Day workshops for each year group. The Year 11 and Year 12 session was held after lunch. It began with a keynote presentation from Elephant Education regarding the definitions and laws around consent. Following from this the students moved to their Luminary groups for breakout sessions led by student volunteers from Year 11 and Year 12. These volunteers had already had a Consent training session with staff from Elephant Education prior to Wednesday’s sessions.

I wish Year 11 and their families a restful and healthy break. There has been several illnesses this term and many students will need a good deal of rest to prepare themselves for their final assessments in Term 3. I look forward to seeing the cohort on our first day back on Tuesday 19 July 2022.
