News from Peponi School Many of you will remember Maisha Done and Joshua Lomax from 2019-2020 Year 8. We caught up with them at Peponi School to see how they are doing...

How have you found the transition from Peponi House to Peponi School?

J: Easy, there have been no problems we are all friends here as well.

M: It has been nice. I have found that at Peponi School you take more responsibility and than Peponi House. You don’t rely on your teachers or your friends as much and you rely on yourself more.

How have you found the bus?

J: The bus is fine. It is good, we are all safe as we maintain social distance. The journey is not too long.

What is your favourite thing about Peponi School?

J: The food! I really like the food as there is always variety, and the tuck shop.

M: I like the lessons. They are very entertaining. The subjects are extended and made more interesting.

What is your favourite lesson: J: Games! I like Geography it is always fun to learn M: My favourite subjects are the sciences, I like the labs and equipment they are exciting to learn.

How is the food?

J: See above!

M: The food is really good as there is a big variety and you can choose what you eat. I particularly enjoy the potatoes, chicken and the lentils How is Day Boarding?

J: Perfect! I enjoy the freedom and the tuck shop.

Do you feel supported in the houses?

J: Yes, Mrs Eysele is always in her office. If I am worried I can go to her and tell her the problem.

M: Yes. I feel like we are closer to the teachers here and have a closer bond.

Have you made new friends: J: Yes I have lots of new friends. We chill and go in to a room and talk. We are from everywhere.

M: Everybody is bonding and connecting really quickly.

How are you finding sport?

J: The facilities are really good. I play basketball, some tennis and football. It is also fun to play with your friends after school in a non competitive way.

M: I like the choice of sport and the focus on it.

Have you done any exciting Activities?

J: I have done Young enterprise where we create a business after researching a company. We have to present it individually.

M: Basketball and Bootcamp are very fun and you get to learn new skills Other comments: J: The bubble feels really safe and PS are strict about Covid. You can walk with your fiends if you are socially distanced. That is ok as long as we can walk and talk.

M: School is really nice. I have lots of fun and the lessons are entertaining. My little brother is jealous that I have come here.
