Following on from our visit by Samantha’s Legacy last week, we have offered an incredible opportunity by the charity to see a production of ‘Our Sam’, a dramatic performance of the ripple effects of Sam’s passing on her family, friends, and community. It explores themes of grief and lost potential.
This builds on the learning that students have been doing about the risks of carrying knives, and consequences of knife crime. We are delighted to be able to take all of Year 9 to see the performance along with their Crew Leaders.
We have worked with our local Violence Reduction Unit and students have discussed these issues before in Crew sessions, so we are confident that our students are mature enough to deal with the sensitive nature of the play.
We apologise for the short notice; we have just been able to confirm coach transport to the venue to get students back to school rather than using the metro at peak time which would have led to a later arrival back at school.
Students will be travelling to and from Whitley Bay Playhouse by coach and will eat lunch a little earlier in school. They do not require a packed lunch unless they normally do so.
Please note we will arrive back in school a little later than the usual finish time at 4.15pm.
