A lovely way to start the day for some of our 5th A lovely way to start the day for some of our 5th & 6th year students.

This morning we were delighted to acknowledge a group of our 5th and 6th year students with a special breakfast in recognition of the number of positive points they have earned since the start of the year.

These points reflect consistent effort, positive behaviour and the valuable contribution these students make to our school community every day. It’s important that hard work, kindness and commitment don’t go unnoticed, and today was a small way of saying well done and thank you for your efforts.

We are very proud of you all, keep setting the standard

Your child is back at school, and now is the perfect time to turn Christmas reports and feedback into action.

Parents can make a big difference by helping their child:
👀 Review their Christmas report — celebrate what went well, and spot areas that need attention
🗂 Update their Feedback Tracker — identify topics to revise, practise, and strengthen
🎯 Set 1–2 clear targets for January — small, achievable steps to start the year strong

Remember: it’s not about grades—it’s about growth, confidence, and learning from experience. A short chat, a quick goal-setting session, or helping them plan their next steps can set the tone for the whole term.

💪 Start the year with focus, and help your child see how small improvements lead to big progress!
