Get Involved!
Enrichment
If you want to extend your skills or get involved in new and different activities, there will be an enrichment activity for you! There is something for everyone. Each term there are new and exiting enrichment classes to choose from.
Enrichment classes run from 2.30 pm—3.30 pm. The school buses run at 3:30pm as well, so that all students can attend.
As well as trying something new, there are also lots of departments who run enrichment activities to support your learning, so if you need help with your maths or you are struggling to understand some of the topics covered in other lessons, there will always be extra support; please, just ask!
Anti-bulling Ambassadors
The Anti-Bullying Ambassadors are a group of students who have been trained by The Diana Award Anti-Bullying Campaign. Their role is to help educate their peers on bullying, lead on anti-bullying campaigns, promote a culture which celebrates and tolerates difference and helps keep their peers safe both online and offline. If this is something you are interested in, you are welcome to get involved and help make a difference.
