Building on the success of last year, the Common Good leaders have deepened their links in the local community and are continuing their work with Penny Field School and Brandon House Care Home. They visit Penny Fields School and Brandon House Care Home every Wednesday and Thursday lunchtime to participate in sing and sign, story time, and board games with the students and residents. This half term, we challenged all students to find a way to show someone else how much they value them.
Our students will be further developing their leadership and communication skills by coaching students at St Urban’s.
The Common Good Leaders will also be overseeing the school’s new recycling initiatives. Students and the wider community are encouraged to bring old and unwanted devices in for recycling, as well as old crisp packets which will then be repurposed into life-saving blankets for homeless people.
Students will also be designing and building birdhouses to encourage wildlife on our school grounds.
Our Common Good Leaders have also returned to Breary Marshes to continue the conservation work started last year. They supported conservation rangers with dead hedging.
