10 Heath’s Shams Ullah was today awarded November’s Jack Petchey Award by Acting Headteacher, Mr Templeman.

14-year-old Shams was nominated by Deputy Headteacher, Mr McCormack, for his outstanding work with  the mental health service Headstart Newham that works closely with schools and the community to transform how young people and their families are supported.

Shams represents St Bonaventure’s really well and is an excellent champion for the service.

He is a mature and likeable student who inspires lots of boys in school to get involved with Headstart to develop and build coping strategies and resilience.

Well done Shams.
