Bateson and the Wellbeing Champions. I look forward to the next lesson. I thoroughly enjoy supporting the sport across the whole school at St Peter’s 2-18. We have a wonderful community at St Peter’s and it is a privilege to keep in touch with the pupils by seeing the pupils around school and coaching the U18 Boys and Girls hockey teams, as they grow and progress through the school developing into wonderful young adults as they reach the final years of school. Coaching the older children in hockey and working across the school supporting the sports department leads me to reflect on how much the children here at St Peter’s 2-8 have to look forward to. They are laying down the foundations now for friendships which will hopefully stay with them throughout their time at St Peter’s, and beyond, as well as an enthusiasm for the opportunities they have in sport, learning and exploring, and developing curiosity about the world they live in. Have a lovely weekend,
