“It just makes social sense!”
A group of year 7 boys have recently taken the first steps on a fantastic journey towards creating real influence in our school community. Each of the pupils below joined a training course that helped them strengthen their leadership skills and to learn more about a variety of issues that we face. Our team facilitator for these sessions said: “I am proud to say that each student has received a merit and a shield badge upon representation” These future leaders will attend fortnightly meetings to discuss, plan and implement a range of strategies that will benefit the school and then share good practice with other schools amongst our local community. We are hoping they will help address a range of social issues with their valuable insight and quick wit! Well done to our social ambassadors: • Harley Clynes • Favour Okpara • Frankie O’Brien • Fabien Cunningham • Michael Lawrence • Prosper Obidi
Each of the girls below has been part of a wonderful new project that embraced the beauty in all of them and saw them bringing their own sense of style and expression to each session. They have developed many skills and have taught us some fundamentals from their sessions which you can find below:
