Inside

*There seem to be a lot of students inside classrooms (including the library) and the corridor during morning and lunchtimes.  THIS MUST STOP!  If you are thirsty – use the water fountain, if you are hungry – eat the food your parents have given you for each break time! If you need to go to the toilet – use toilet next to room 4.  There will be consequences for students who are caught inside without permission from a teacher.

* Last week’s goal was ‘Co-operation’.  It was great to see most of the students co-operate with each other and teachers through production preparation.  This week’s goal is to use Common Sense  - things that are ‘normal around our school’ e.g. walking in the corridors, picking up rubbish (even if it’s not yours), letting others through the door ways, looking after your own property and respecting others’ property etc.
