RVHS Parent Bulletin Aspiration Respect
Endeavour
Week ending: Friday 11th May 2018 “Our vision is to be the school of choice for our local community, developing successful young people with high aspirations, who show respect for all and endeavour to become the very best that they can be.”
Message from the Head of School I trust that everyone in our school community enjoyed the glorious bank holiday. It has been a busy, if short week here at Roding Valley High School and today our Year 12s started their study leave. It is hard to believe that the Year 11s only have one week left with us on a full time basis, GCSE and AS exams officially start on Monday. Good luck to all our students and please refer later in the bulletin to specific messages and revision tips. Please also refer to our website: https://www.rodingvalley.net/current-parents/how-you-canhelp-your-child/ Please note that transition day into our Sixth Form is on Friday 29th June. Thank you to all the Year 10 parents who attended the Parents’ Evening last night. There was a great turnout with nearly 80% of our parents in attendance. It was an incredibly positive evening and our school is lucky to have such supportive parents. On that note, the PTA still has pitches available for their Shopping and Pamper evening to be held on Friday 15th June, 7pm to 10pm in the main hall. If you know anyone who would like to sell items or complete treatments during the evening; please ask them to contact Natalie Sellears nsellears@rodingvalley.net Pitches are £10. Your support would be greatly appreciated; all money raised will be used to benefit all students at our school. Our Year 12 Charity Executives have just held auditions for the ‘Rodings Got Talent’ show which will be held later in the year; it was great to hear that so many students from across the year groups put themselves forward to participate. There were bands, singers, magicians and dancers; it should be a lot of fun and they hope to raise money for charities and good causes. Their chosen charities are: GOSH, Brain Tumour Charity and Cancer Research. They are also raffling a West Ham signed shirt. They are organising the majority themselves; another example of excellent student leadership.
There was further success for the school at this week’s ‘Speak out Challenge’. Thank you to Miss Hanlon for working with the students and a massive congratulation to Florence New (Year 10) placed 3rd in the West Essex finals. Roding Valley has placed for the third year running! Miss Hanlon said, ‘Florence did incredibly well and the standard of speakers was the highest I’ve seen. Aliya Silverstone was the MC for the night and did the school proud. Teachers and organisers were complimenting her on the way out saying how she had been the best MC for the years that they had seen’.
