Last week, students in Years 7–12 took part in their first of several Personal Development Days, designed to build essential skills and prepare them for future education and careers.

They enjoyed inspiring sessions with guest speakers from enterprise, STEM, and hospitality, while older students honed their interview techniques. Activities focused on key characteristics such as curiosity, resilience, teamwork, empathy, and positive communication. In addition student groups engaged in some of the important aspects of life which included equalities, anti-bullying, hate crime, online habits, risks and the law.

It was a fantastic day of growth and opportunity for all!

...they were the absolute stars of the two days...

I, and every volunteer, were shocked with the standard of the “output” from the students.  Simply outstanding.
