On our fieldwork this week, a member of the public asked us about our studies and Charlie came to talk to her. Rhona was so kind as to send a card to Charlie and to our staff to thank them for taking the time to talk to her.

What a magnificent piece of work from Charlie. Our students are already making a positive impact in the community and promoting their own brilliant work and strong culture.

Well done Charlie, and thanks so much to Rhona. The card was also read out in our community meeting this morning.

What a superb example of the grid method from Daria. Tigers’ distinct patterns make them a challenge to capture in a drawing. Great work Daria!

We would like to congratulate our runners in the Junior Great North Run this year, all running for fantastic causes. Ethan, Elyse, Tyler, Corbyn and Harris – we are so proud of the hard work you put in and the compassion you have shown for such excellent causes.

Another appreciation goes to Isla and Leighla who were there on the day to support with the running of the day too.

Well done to all of you.

Beautiful work!

EWR and Elyse were highlighted by their peers in our community meeting last week as two students that exemplify our character traits; courage, integrity, respect, craftsmanship & quality, and above all… compassion.

Yesterday they gave the very first ambassador tour around our building to Mrs Salter Head of School at Green Top Primary School and Mr Butler, Executive Principal of the XP Trust.

They were very impressed with our ambassadors and the school.

“Please thank our young hosts for their expert reflections on their school.

It felt like an XP school today!

Well done to all your staff for the culture you are developing.”

Great work EWR and Elyse, and all of the staff and students that made Mrs Salter and Mr Butler feel so welcome.
