This morning Mr Buchanan and Mrs Sparks arranged a cooking session for our Young Carers, in conjunction with Tina from Imago Community. Students had the opportunity to cook either a Vegetable Stir Fry or Tomato Pasta Bake, under the instruction of Mrs Giles.
This inspiring session allowed students to take some time for themselves, whilst learning a valuable life skill which will help them in their caring responsibilities.
We'd like to thank Mr Buchanan and Mrs Sparks for all their hard work to make this session happen.

Last term, Year 7, 8, and 9 students participated in the Battle of the Bays during their PE lessons. The boys competed in Basketball, while the girls took part in Fitness challenges. Extra points were awarded to groups for demonstrating kindness, dedication, and respect.
The scores from all three terms have now been combined, with Botany emerging as the overall leaders so far, with an impressive total score of 108. Well done, Botany!

We are always looking for the best ways to support our students' health and wellbeing and one way we do this is by utilising and developing our wellbeing garden. This is a safe space where students can experience the outdoors, getting involved in the creation, care, and upkeep of the garden while learning about and benefitting from how it can support their health and wellbeing.
As we continue to develop the garden, we are looking for donations to help us maintain, develop, and restock it. Although any offerings are greatly appreciated, we do have a wish list of items below:
-Scaffold boards/sleepers to build some raised beds
-Water butts
-Tools (spades, forks, trowels, rakes etc)
-Large pots
-Bricks/paving slabs
-Bags of compost/topsoil (half-used is fine)
If you can donate anything, or would like to get involved with our wellbeing garden in a different capacity, please contact Mr Beeson at the school.
