Year 7 Group Notices

Attendance

This will be a key focus throughout the year.  Each week pupils with 100% attendance for the previous week are entered into a draw for an early lunch pass for themselves and a friend for a day of their choice.

Form groups with 100% for the previous week are placed into an additional draw for an early lunch pass.

Pupils who are our most resilient attenders throughout the year will be rewarded with special awards and prizes at the end of the year.

Other Rewards

• Pupil of the month certificates and prizes
• Pupils of the term certificates and prizes
• Excellent / Resilient attendance draw

Each year, the Year 7 Pastoral team celebrate world book day.  Our usual antics involve dressing up as characters in our favourite books.
Each year when we celebrate Feast Day, we usually play Year group bingo, with the bingo caller dressing up in fancy dress as well as undertaking craft activities.  The whole day is taken up with fun activities!

The form captain is a prestigious role and students are selected in discussion with the form group.
They are responsible for: 

• Reporting to their year group office every morning at 8:45am 
• Passing on any messages to their form group

• Passing on any messages to their form group 
• Leading by example; demonstrating attendance, punctuality, uniform and behaviour 

The events coordinator is a role which involves leadership skills and students are often selected in discussion with the form group.

They are responsible for: 

• Leading their form plans for fundraising during the school year 
• Leading the form planning for Sports Day 
• Standing in for their form Captain and Vice-Captain if both are absent. 

The Noticeboard Monitor

• The noticeboard monitor is responsible for the form noticeboard. They will: 
• Organize the display at the start of, and throughout, the year 
• keep notices and posters up to date; replacing the half term focus, updating the attendance poster, ensuring the latest version of extra-curricular activities is displayed amongst other year group specific notices. 
• ensure that the correct week A/B is displayed on a Monday morning. 
• Ensure the board is kept in good and tidy condition all year. 

The chosen charity for us to raise funds this half term is Claire House.
Each term we consider worthy charities to raise funds for.
E.g. Last year we became aware of Zoe’s place in danger of closing, so we supported fundraising to assist them in meeting their targeted goals.
