Year 8 Group Notices

Monday	Wellbeing, journals – checking and signing
Tuesday	Assembly Day
Wednesday	Attendance focus, minus mark stickers to be issued
Thursday	Reading Activities
Friday	Catholic Social Teaching activities, News roundup.

 

This will be a key focus throughout the year. Each week pupils who have shown excellent attendance, improvement or resilience for the previous week have a chance to be chosen as a form attendance star of the week. Winners received a skip the queue pass for themselves and a friend. Of our winners, one attendance star is also selected as our shining star of the week and have the opportunity to select a song to be played during form on Form Tune Friday.

The Noticeboard Monitor

· The noticeboard monitor is responsible for the form noticeboard. They will:

· Organise 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 the board is kept in good and tidy condition all year.

The chosen charity for us to raise funds for 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.
