Another year passes and another year of highlights for the impressive Copeland House. We are lucky in Copeland House, that we are blessed with outstanding individuals, consistently high levels of commitment and togetherness. Pupils have achieved well across the A-TEAMM system once again which enables pupils to participate across many disciplines throughout the year. We have witnessed fantastic performances across many areas which shows considerable diversity amongst our House team. We continue to compete well in the active and sports related events, as well as having many impressive linguists, logical problem-solving minds, and technology savvy pupils. The teamwork element in this year’s House system has been imperative with many of the events having to be run as blended or distance learning sessions as groups. Overall, the House has made me immensely proud due to their resilience and adaptability in these telling times.

There have been many memorable moments this year related to the talents and ‘all for one attitude’ of Copeland House pupils. The highlights include:

- Winning the Mystery ‘Who Kidnapped Mr. Keefe’ whole-school House event in November. - Winning the Ramadan whole-school House event in April. - Achieving winning positions across several year groups in the Olympic “Higher, Faster, Stronger” challenge. - Consistently having impressive attendance, punctuality, and merit data.

In conclusion, I have been extremely proud to be the Head of House for Copeland. The House system is an amazing opportunity to work with staff and peers outside the normal academic system of the school. It allows for teamwork, pupil bonding across year groups and a system that everyone can join and work together and compete for a single vision.

It leaves me to say thank you and goodbye in a way. I will not be Head of Copeland next year, however, will still be part of this progressive team. I thank all pupils and staff for their contribution to making Copeland such an awesome house to be apart off over the three years of my tenure. Let us push on next year, dream big and collectively aim for the summit!

‘House have persevered throughout. We have always put our maximum effort and attending every House event, and because of that, we should all be proud. During our sport events and online house events, the commitment we showed further proves that even in difficult times, we can be determined to attend and try our best in these house events to achieve the highest possible goal and boost our house standing. We also must appreciate the teacher’s hard work to set up these events and run them who have also struggled like us throughout the year. I believe we should all be proud of ourselves and everyone in this House. Congratulations to everyone on their hard work this year, and good luck next year!’
