Regents Review Winter '18

The Regents Review Winter 2018

GENERAL NEWS

Year 7 PSHE Day Year 7 enjoyed a fantastic PSHE focus day in November this year which featured a variety of externally and internally-led workshops. The students learned really helpful coping strategies in the mental health session, they gained confidence in the ‘Yellow Door’ session and in Mr Pine and Miss Reed’s respect lesson they found it really useful to discover their personal strengths and weaknesses. Their favourite workshop was on health and nutrition delivered by Mr Stone, so we look forward to lots of participation in sport and seeing plenty of healthy food being eaten by the Year 7 students across the school! Year 11 PSHE Day The Year 11 PSHE day took place early in the term and included a variety of interesting and engaging sessions linked to personal, social and health topics. The students were fortunate to have specialists delivering workshops on the dangers of pornography, mental health, teambuilding and careers. In addition, students also explored the risks of drugs and alcohol with Mr Moth and Miss Groves and spent a session preparing for the year ahead with Miss Bishop. We hope that the PSHE experiences that Year 11 have had in the past five years give them confidence and character for life beyond Regents Park.

Get Inspired On Wednesday 7th November, our Year 9 students joined hundreds of others from across the city to take part in Get Inspired at the O2 Guildhall Southampton. They learned about a range of locally-based careers in a hands- on approach. We hope the students went away feeling excited about the breadth of opportunities available to them right on their doorstep.

Innovate Creative Assembly On 7th October, John, a

representative from Innovate Creative, came to Regents Park and led an assembly for our Year 8 students. He gave them general information about careers as well as more specific information about careers in technology.
