We are thrilled to kick off this academic year with a variety of engaging activities for everyone in Willow House!
The House of Arts competition is officially underway, and this year’s theme is Equality and Diversity. As your Head of Willow House, I am eager to see our creative talents shine! Let’s rally together and aim for victory this year.
We also have an exciting incentive for our students! Those with excellent attendance and a positive Attitude to Learning (ATL) will be invited to our Pizza and Popcorn Party in December. This is a fantastic opportunity to celebrate your hard work and dedication.
As we progress through the school year, let’s concentrate on two vital aspects of our success: attendance and Attitude to Learning (ATL).
Attendance: Regular attendance is essential for making the most of your educational experience. Every day counts, and being present helps you engage fully with your learning journey.
Attitude to Learning (ATL): A positive ATL not only enhances your academic performance but also fosters a supportive and collaborative environment within our House.
Now is the time to start working on your entries for the competition! Whether you excel in photography, art, dance, drama, music, or poetry, we encourage you to express your creativity and interpret the theme of Equality and Diversity in your own unique way.
If you have any questions about the House of Arts competition, the Pizza and Popcorn Party, or anything else, please don’t hesitate to reach out to your CDC or your Head of House directly.
Let’s make this year an incredible one, Willow House. Embrace your creativity, focus on your ATL, and let’s achieve great things together!
