Happy New Year from the Juniors

A HAPPY NEW YEAR FROM CROYDON HIGH JUNIOR SCHOOL!

In her first assembly this morning our new Head, Mrs Bradshaw, showed the girls that she is more than ready to take on a challenge…but it certainly wasn’t the sort of challenge they were expecting!

She started by sharing her New Year resolutions; to learn all the girls’ names, make every assembly interesting and drink more water! But then Mrs Raja, the new Deputy Head spoke up, challenging Mrs Bradshaw to make resolutions that will really stretch her, such as learning a new skill. To the delight of the girls, she presented Mrs Bradshaw with a skipping rope and a book of skipping tricks! Not to be outdone, Mrs Bradshaw responded with a gift for Mrs Raja – a set of juggling balls and the Head and Deputy then turned their attention to Mrs Cordrey who received a Diabolo set!

The message wasn’t lost on the girls, as all three teachers agreed to accept their challenges and to return after half term to demonstrate their newly learned skills.

In turn, Mrs Bradshaw challenged everyone to think about what they could do, to set themselves exciting aims and ambitions for the coming year. She is looking forward to hearing about the girls’ challenges over the next few days – so please encourage them to tell her (and you) what they are hoping to do!

Oh and by the way, Mrs Bradshaw also promises to learn all the girls’ names, make assemblies interesting and drink more water!

A very Happy New Year to you all.
