We are now nearly at the end of January and it is hard to believe that we are already a month into 2024, time seems to be flying by. This week has been another busy week with Year 9 having the second presentation on their subjects for GCSE. Their final presentation will take place on Wednesday 31 January during period one where Mr Krista will give more information about the next stage of the process.
Thank you to the Year 11 parents who attended the Help Your Child to Revise Evening yesterday. If you missed this, all of the resources shared can be found on our website here. Please take a look and discuss revision plans with your child to ensure they make the most of the time they have between now and the summer exams.
We had some excellent news from the Resilience Challenge competition run by EDWise this week, where Medina students won the award for the most innovative response. Island schools and colleges had to respond to an emergency situation and put relief plans in place. They all demonstrated great career capital skills of: public speaking, teamwork, creative thinking, leadership and creative problem solving. Well done to: Archie, Imogen, Lily, Connor, Isaac and Charlotte.
I also hosted our Hot Chocolate Friday winners for either top attendance or achievement points in their year for the last week. Well done to: Bobby, Joseph, Lexi, Jaiden, Liam, Harleigh, Daisy, Frankie, George and Maiya; it was lovely to celebrate your success!
Next week we have the Year 7 disco to look forward to on Thursday 1 February from 4.30-5.45pm. Remember tickets can be purchased through Arbor.
Next Friday, 2 February is a staff development day, so students will not be in school that day.
Have a lovely, restful and safe weekend and I look forward to welcoming students back on Monday.
Mr Pearce-Jones
Head of School – Medina College
