Book Swap and Quiet space

Opening next week - hopefully. The Enrichment room will be open for students to visit at lunchtime to read or play quiet board games.

There will be a timetable for different areas of the school and it will be limited to 3 students per class.

Library passes will be issued, distributed by teachers and then returned ready for the following week.

Student Librarians will be on duty. Please be patient while our SIT get this project functional.

Keeping ourselves and our students safe online.

As part of our ongoing focus on using digital tools safely I've butchered Tessa's presentation to parents a few weeks back into a presentation for you to show your students. Please chose the bits that are appropriate for your students, there are some discussion notes on each slide. At the end is a slide advertising a competition. Please encourage your students to enter - the winning entry will be displayed in every class in the school (Probably Middles and seniors appropriate).

Here is a link to the presentation - Remember pick the bits most suitable for your students.

Here are a few online resources to help you keep you and your studnets safe online.
