‘Sweet Success’ Themed Pastoral Lesson
On Tuesday 19 November, Senior House hosted a special ‘Sweet Success’ themed Pastoral lesson for our Year 10 and 11 students. This session aimed to equip students with essential study tools and techniques for their upcoming exams, while also fostering teamwork and a sense of achievement.
The focus of the lesson was on creating effective cue cards, a key revision strategy. Students were provided with resources and expert guidance on how to design cue cards that would help them efficiently summarise key information and aid in their exam preparation. Afterwards, Year 10 and 11 students tested each other on their cue cards, giving them the chance to share knowledge, offer feedback, and engage in collaborative learning.
As this was the final Pastoral lesson for the year, we ended on a high note with a fun and sweet treat. Each House enjoyed ice cream decorated with House-coloured sprinkles and lollies. It was a wonderful moment for students to relax, reflect on the year’s achievements, and enjoy time with friends and Pastoral leaders.
Looking ahead, students will have one more opportunity to come together as a Pastoral Group on Friday 6 December during Lesson 4. This will be a bittersweet occasion as students will say their final goodbyes for the year, receive their yearbooks, and tidy up their lockers in preparation for the holidays.
It’s been a fantastic year, and we look forward to seeing everyone for one final Pastoral gathering before we head into the new year.
