HENNESSY DAY - 

Hennessy_Day.jpg



Tomorrow we are celebrating Hennessy Day and we are having modified activities on this day. Students will be participating in a range of activities in their house in their year groups. Additionally, they will receive a small gift to celebrate 20 years of Hennessy. 

RUOK WEEK ACTIVITIES 

Rice House this week has been focusing on developing further awareness about mental health and breaking the stigma around it. Students have viewed a range of videos from looking at what is mental health to ways in which they can be asking their friends if they are okay. With the national focus of RUOK DAY happening on Thursday 10th  September, asking your mate if they are okay has never been more important especially due to the current COVID-19 conditions.
