On Wednesday 90 pupils from Falla Park, Windy Nook, White Mere, Bill Quay, Brandling and The Drive primary schools took part in a sports event.  They were supported by the PE team along with 14 of our fabulous HG student helpers.  The event was a great success, and we are so proud of our students for working so well with the younger children.

 

This week the charity Children North East guided parents and carers through the first of a two part session focused on helping parents to support their children with anxiety.  The session will also explore school avoidance, conflict resolution and understanding teenagers.  If you are interested in the next training sessions after the holidays please contact Mrs Mitchell our SENDCo.  The feedback from the first session was very positive and hopefully very helpful.

Back in September the photography students in Year 11 heard from a local photographer Lewis Arnold about his career which ranged from photo journalism to filming and photography of surfers predominantly around the north-east to raise awareness of environmental issues.  The students took part in a competition and the winners are:

1^st place - Omar Jawish

2^nd place - Molly Brown

3^rd place - Sophie Colledge. 

Well done to everyone who took part as well as the winners, the standard was very high and clearly showcased the talents and skills of all involved.

This term students will be completing the Future Skills Questionnaire (FSQ). This will help us evaluate the school’s careers programme, plan future careers activities and target students who may need additional support.

Students will complete the 15-minute questionnaire which asks questions on their career related knowledge and skills. This should be an enjoyable activity for students and encourage them to begin thinking about future careers and next steps after school.

We use a third-party tool called Compass+ to administer the questionnaire. All student data is processed in compliance with General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and you can find more information about how Compass+ collects, uses and stores personal data in this privacy notice for students.

How it works:

1. Students log in to their HGA STUDENT EMAIL using outlook open the email from Compass +
2. Your child has been provided with a link through their HGA student email account, simply click on the link.
3. Complete the future skills questionnaire - Prompt your child to complete their questionnaire.

If you wish to know more about the careers programme in school and/or would like to get involved please contact Mrs Bell [Careers Leader]. claire.bell@consilium-at.com
