GHS Connect #37 Monday 10 July
Mia's notes
Thank you very much to everyone for all of the amazing trips and events in school last week. There was a definite buzz around the school, with a real feeling of positivity. First prize for a World Book Day costume has to go to Richard Lewis (he must have been boiling hot all day!), and it was wonderful to see the dramatic reading of ‘The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time’ during our belated World Book Day!
I’m a big believer that along with ‘stick’ (sanctions) we must have ‘carrot’ (interesting, exciting, memorable experiences in this case) for students as it keeps them busy, keeps them motivated and provides the necessary variety for a rich and varied educational experience. Thank you all so much because you are providing this in spades right now, whether it be in the form of the school production, International Day, D of E, cricket matches, sports day, reading events, trips and visits, CDIA exhibitions and a whole host of other things I will have forgotten.
Speaking of ‘stick’, I will provide more info in September, but we are currently drawing up plans for simpler, hopefully more effective strategies around both punctuality and uniform. I will be writing to parents this week to draw attention to this as we hope to hit the ground running in September.
Have a fantastic week,
Mia
