This morning 170 new students joined our Year 12 as fully fledged 6th Formers all keen to start their chosen courses.

They gathered in St Francis’ Hall and were welcomed into school and addressed by Headteacher, Mr Halliwell, and Director of 6th Form, Wayne Templeman.

Guest speaker, Psychology expert, Elsa Corr, spoke to the group about Growth Mindset Training and  gave them pointers on how to succeed in the 6th Form and tailor their studying to the more difficult higher exams.

The students all looked incredibly smart and ready for the new chapter in their lives.

Tomorrow, Thursday September 7, they are going on retreat to South Weald in Essex for ‘The Big Hello’ which is a ‘getting to know you’ exercise with some prayer and fun thrown in with a range of activities  on the cards for them. This is traditionally a very useful day that past students say was a real ice breaker. 

Watch out for photos on Facebook and Twitter of tomorrow’s events.

One thing remains to be said at the is: “Welcome to St Bon’s.”
