JUNIOR SCHOOL WELLFEST

Activities during the Junior School’s Wellfest Week included yoga, dancing and a cosy pyjama day.

Munch

Our Model United Nations (MUN) debating squad travelled to Cheadle Hulme school to take part in MUNCH21. On this occasion, our students represented the diverse interests of the USA, Kenya and Saudi Arabia. Our students joined the cut and thrust of debate with erudition and confidence with Genevieve given special praise for her debating skills during the conference awards.

Our student Equality Ambassadors put together a variety of resources and shared them with forms to begin discussions on why it is important we celebrate Black History Month.

The Equality Ambassadors told us, “Black History Month is an annual observance of black history, and the event is used as an opportunity to recognise the contribution of those with Black heritage to modern society. It is also used as an opportunity to learn about the effects of racism and how people can challenge negative stereotyping and racial injustice. As a club, we think it is important to emphasise that there is as much black history as white history, and there is as much positive black history, removed from colonial influences, as independent Eurocentric history.”

House Music

“It was great to see House music taking place at The Grange and to see so many students getting involved and showing their House spirit. Credit must go to the Senior directors who choreographed an amazing show. Congratulations to Bollin for a well-earned victory, but all students should be exceptionally proud of the performance that they created,” commented Mr Bradshaw, Head of the House System.
