When the odds are a million to 1, you're 1 in a million - and that deserves celebrating!

 

June & Pride Month is a time to cherish the beauty in the tapestry of diversity. At our school, we firmly believe that each person possesses unique qualities and contributes something valuable to our community. Embracing our individuality means celebrating the aspects that set us apart and recognising that our differences enrich our collective experiences and enable us to achieve greatness.

 

This year, we're celebrating how we can all be "1 in a million" and stand out with our vibrancy, boldness, kindness and power. It's your individuality that makes us stronger as one tightly woven community.

 

This year's theme, "Rise To The Challenge", inspires us to confront and overcome the obstacles that come our way. When we reflect upon the claim, "When the odds are a million to one, you're 1 in a million," we realise that our individuality is our greatest asset when facing difficult circumstances. Our diverse perspectives, talents, and experiences equip us with the resilience and courage to triumph over seemingly impossible challenges.

 

Our individuality enables us to face the hardest of challenges with strength and resilience. When we embrace our authentic selves and encourage others to do the same, we foster an environment of inclusivity, understanding, and support. By appreciating our school community's unique talents and perspectives, we create a space where everyone can thrive and contribute to collective success.

 

As we embark on this journey through Pride Month, let us celebrate the power of embracing our individuality. Each of us is truly "1 in a million," with our unique qualities shaping us into strong, resilient individuals. By connecting this claim to our school's motto, "We Are One," and aligning it with this year's theme, "Rise To The Challenge," we understand that our uniqueness equips us to face even the most daunting of obstacles. Let us celebrate Pride Month by fostering an environment that embraces diversity, promotes inclusivity, and encourages everyone to reach their full potential. We can create a community where everyone feels seen, heard, and valued.

 

This month, and every month, be true to what makes you unique. Be an active ambassador of acceptance, kindness, and inclusivity. We're one community, one family, one voice, one love. We Are One.

Take-Off Programme 2025
We are excited to announce the launch of our Take-off Programme for the 2025 season. The programme aims to provide valuable work experience opportunities for our students and equip them with practical skills and insights into various industries, helping them prepare for their future careers.   The Take-off Programme is structured into two levels, each catering to different stages of our students' academic journey:   Ignite: Tailored for our F8 students, this level provides a general introduction to the world of work, offering exposure to different fields and helping students explore their interests – dates 2nd and 3rd of June. This experience is part of an LTR unit, and the presentation will be part of this unit's assessment.   Launch: Geared towards our F11 students, this level offers more specialised work experience opportunities in specific areas of interest. It lasts a week – any week during the Summer holidays – from the 15th of June onwards.   For more information, visit our CLIP Take-Off Programme page.   For the Ignite level, the areas are not important yet, but the older students must have their experiences in an area of their interest. Therefore, we would appreciate your support in identifying work vacancies in the following areas:   Business/Finance/Marketing Law Architecture Engineering Film Making/Music Psychology Physiotherapy Veterinary Dentist Computer Science Hotel Management Biotechnology Physics   If you or someone you know would be interested in offering work experience placements to our students, we would greatly appreciate your support.
