Executive Principal’s Blog – 10.5.24: ‘A Crucial Time of Year’Last Saturday saw 50 students turning up for our first Study Saturday of 2024. Between 10.00 am – 2.00 pm Year 11 and 13 students can come in and revise together for as long as they want to within that time. The Study Saturdays really helped last year’s cohort and were one of the most appreciated strategies we employed to support students in the run up to their exams. Don’t miss out – they run for another 5 weeks. Free drinks and biscuits are provided! It was nice to get this positive feedback from students and parents: “I worked much better as I get distracted at home.” – Year 11 Student “Good morning, I wanted to drop a quick email to say thank you for opening the school for the revision sessions on Saturday. My son had a good morning and then went to have a bite to eat and spend some time with his friends. If he wasn’t in that situation then he would have come back home and probably continued to study So it was good for him to balance things. Many thanks.” – Year 11 Parent “It was great to work with other students – we encouraged each other to keep going!” – Year 13 Student “I was able to print off a few past papers and completed two of them, so made great progress.” – Year 11 StudentI would like to thank the parents and carers who have already completed the online questionnaire on ParentView.
