School


As a member of the school council, I helped choose a new ICT teacher. We observed him teaching a demonstration lesson and we were impressed with his skill as an ICT teacher and the way he kept discipline. Getting involved in the school council has helped me a lot. It is a positive thing. It has given me confidence in making decisions. I think we are making a difference for the students.

 

I play right back for the school football team. Teachers help a lot with after-hours training. The school encourages you to learn a variety of things. I’m also very keen on ICT and have been given a software program that shows you the basics. I practice my computer skills in break-time, lunchtime or after school. Anyone can turn up and book time on a computer.

 

I’m a buddy to junior-class children. You play with them at break-time, give them confidence and help them in their studies. If a student is struggling, you get to be their buddy and help them through the year. Buddies are given training. A guidance counsellor comes in, she plays games and helps you with your listening skills. She tells us how to recognize signs a child needs help, how to talk to them and help them. She doesn’t shout at you. She listens and she’s really nice. After she talked about it there were fewer disturbances during school hours.

 

The school has a ’good diet’ campaign. I take a packed lunch with some fruit, a sandwich and a drink of blackcurrant or water. Mr Sharma, the head teacher, doesn’t allow us to bring crisps or chocolate. The lunch people come round and if they see you eating it they take it off you, even in the afterschool club!. My diet makes me feel fit and strong and I enjoy eating better now. Eating fruit releases energy slowly over a longer period so I don’t feel the need for snacks.

 

Last year I travelled overseas for the first time to Lisbon with a group of year 9s and 10s. The trip was paid for and organised by the school’s business sponsor an estate agent. I went because of my interest in food technology. School encourages you to enjoy things you haven’t done before. I also started to go to after-school drama club and I joined a Saturday club where I do extra ICT. I’m getting Cs and Bs in most subjects and an A* in drama.
