Many activities were run outside in the sunny weather in order to promote positive wellbeing within the school community. Students this week have been encouraged to try something new and to relax more. One of the most popular events was when a couple of teachers brought in their dogs and the students were allowed to play, walk and stroke them. For some students, this was their first time stroking a dog and it helped boost their confidence. We celebrated the end of Wellbeing Week with a cake sale, colouring and bubbles. The sale of mental health awareness ribbons and cakes raised a total of £72.00 for Mind, a charity specifically chosen to help raise mental WINNER health awareness and for those who need support. Teachers have also been showing their support by wearing ribbons and the Student Wellbeing Ambassadors hope that this week is the start of a new beginning to increased wellbeing at Rosebery. Thank you to all staff who supported this week. Have a good weekend “ From the Student Wellbeing Ambassadors Charlotte L won the Wellbeing Week Mascot Competition with ‘Willow Wellbeing’ (left) 3 SIXTH FORM STUDENT COACHING On Wednesday 4 July nine Year 12 students, alongside Ms Rad and Mrs Coombes, were invited to take part in the prestigious annual Coaching at Work Conference, led by the country’s leading coaching magazine, as part of the Student Futures programme. This year’s focus was on innovation and creativity and the session ‘Working with and learning from the younger generations’, created by Ms Rad and the executive coach Lindsay Wittenberg, marked the first time that millennials and members from Generation Z have delivered a session at the conference. Two students, Sarah A and Natalie O, were interviewed with Ms Rad on the aspects that connect and divide generations and the impact of Student Futures, before all students were coached by members of the audience. Sarah and Natalie have shared their thought on the day: ‘We had the opportunity to voice our thoughts and reflect on the assumptions that each generation have of each other. This experience was a unique chance to express our thoughts; it was very interesting challenging the older generations on their viewpoints of us and our own stereotypes. The coaching experience that followed allowed us to formulate our own solutions that we hadn’t previously been aware were present in our mind. We hope to encourage future students to explore coaching. We vastly enjoyed the whole experience and the opportunity to advocate our own generation’s thoughts and feelings.’ The other students who took part shared their reflections: The environment allowed to be liberal in my opinions and voice the barriers I face as a young person. It helped me learn so much, not only about myself but about the way to deal with certain things and to always speak about worries, no matter how small or big they are. I have also gained skills in coaching myself and learnt to look at situations with a more positive and calm mindset. The coaching conference showed me how coaching actually helps an individual find their own solutions. I found the coaching session so surprising and helpful. Engaging with the coach who is someone who is essentially a stranger was so refreshing and at the end of the session I felt like a weight was lifted of my shoulders, simply because I was expressing my problems and working towards bettering them for myself. It was a very insightful experience, I learnt a lot more than I expected to and I feel like I’ve experienced the true worth of coaching. It is invaluable to talk about your problems with someone who has an objective view and no previous assumptions of you. It is really refreshing to talk to someone whose purpose is to listen to you personally and help you with your problems. This really helped me as, I was able to delve deeper into things I wouldn’t usually talk about in everyday life.

  • Cover1 LETTER from OUR LEADERS
    ANNUAL 2016 REPORTCover1 LETTER FROM OUR LEADERS Dear Stakeholders: We issued just over 700 grants in 2016, a 55% increase over the previous year. A major reason is that several large grants were received in the last weeks of 2015, for a record total of $926,000. But those funds came too late to be used in 2015. Instead, a large carry-over fueled our record-breaking 2016 MicroGrants grant making. We fully expect to equal 700 grants again in 2017. Our Partner Agencies told us that they could more than double their grantee-prospects without any compromise in the quality of their quali cations. at meant, there were hundreds of people, who did MISSION not apply for grants, only because of the limit of our resources. In addition, there were a dozen aspiring Partner Agencies, each with additional people of potential, waiting in the wings to become partners.

In addition, we increased our $1,000 transportation grants to $1,400, their estimated minimum for purchasing a serviceable vehicle. So, our grantees are no longer vulnerable to the proverbial Used Car Salesman, the lemon that fails right o the lot or the cheaply acquired, used car that just sits there because of unfeasible repair costs.

  • Broadcasting Sector Report
    Broadcasting Sector Report 1. This is a report for the House of Commons Committee on Exiting the European Union following the motion passed at the Opposition Day debate on 1 November, which called on the Government to provide the Committee with impact assessments arising from the sectoral analysis it has conducted with regards to the list of 58 sectors referred to in the answer of 26 June 2017 to Question 239. 2. As the Government has already made clear, it is not the case that 58 sectoral impact assessments exist. The Government’s sectoral analysis is a wide mix of qualitative and quantitative analysis contained in a range of documents developed at different times since the referendum. This report brings together information about the sector in a way that is accessible and informative. Some reports aggregate some sectors in order to either avoid repetition of information or because of the strong interlinkages between some of these sectors. 3. This report covers: a description of the sector, the current EU regulatory regime, existing frameworks for how trade is facilitated between countries in this sector, and sector views. It does not contain commercially-, market- or negotiation-sensitive information. Description of sector Scope 4. The broadcasting sector covers the production of audiovisual or audio (radio) content and its distribution, which is subject to the framework of regulation overseen by Ofcom (or, for TV stations based elsewhere in the European Economic Area (EEA), by another EEA regulator). 5. This report primarily covers linear (or live) visual broadcasting services (digital TV, live streaming, webcasting, near video-on-demand) and non-linear services (video on demand services such as the BBC iPlayer, All4, etc, or subscription video on demand services such as Netflix).

  • Small Screen: Big Debate – Consultation Itv Plc Response
    SMALL SCREEN: BIG DEBATE – CONSULTATION ITV PLC RESPONSE March 2021 [Redacted for publication] 1. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY 2021 is a critical year for Public Service Media and the UK’s wider TV ecology and creative economy The decisions we take this year about public service media will determine the extent to which the UK will continue to have a thriving national TV market serving all citizens, with public service media at its heart, alongside and participating in a thriving global market. The huge value people in Britain see in what Ofcom rightly calls Public Service Media (or ‘PSM’, which we adopt where appropriate in this submission) was strikingly set out in Ofcom’s consultation. The evidence amassed by Ofcom illustrated particularly the enduring importance of free-to-air, mass reach television from the existing PSB institutions in bringing people together right across the UK, regardless of ability to pay, supporting our culture, democracy and creative economy. PSM promotes and develops our shared values, national resilience, furthers the Creative Industries and nurtures Britain’s soft power abroad. Indeed, so compelling was Ofcom’s description of the benefits PSM brings to the UK and its citizens, we should now move on from the endless debate about the purposes or value of PSM and instead shift attention to the development of a plan to sustain it for the long term. But even as a consensus around the importance of PSM and the need for reform grows, so at the same time the commercial PSBs are faced with the immediate and serious impact of the proposed ban on HFSS food and drink advertising on TV before 9pm.

  • BNS0023 Written Evidence Submitted by Nik Gowing and Chris Langdon
    BNS0023 Written evidence submitted by Nik Gowing and Chris Langdon, Thinking the Unthinkable (TTU) project1 CONFRONTING GLOBAL THREATS AND DISRUPTION: HOW TO CHALLENGE OURSELVES TO THINK UNTHINKABLES Summary There is a natural institutional and personal resistance to Think the Unthinkable for major risks that are wrongly considered to be unlikely. The devastating nature of the subsequent shocks to our society from COVID-19 has obviously reinforced what our TTU work had already identified and warned about. It is the imperative to work and think more radically, whatever the professional and career risk in doing so. That does not come easy in government. Indeed, there are formidable in-built, institutional drag chains and resistances. Our focus is not just on the effectiveness of the bodies and institutions named and set out in the formal ambitions for this enquiry.2 It must also be about the human inefficiencies and vulnerabilities of those who work in them, and ultimately their relationships to those who make the final political decisions. However new realities within public service mean there is the likelihood of even greater risk aversion and professional fear among even the most talented, just when the opposite is needed. Our TTU work highlights how conformity and conformist attitudes are core limiters to the breadth or perceptions now needed to embrace unthinkables. That conformity carries a high cost. Our published work3 has already concluded that the conformity which qualifies many leaders for the top now disqualifies most of them from accepting, embracing then dealing with the new scale of risk and disruption. We are not optimistic that current cultures, mindsets and behaviours are anywhere close to being primed and prepared for innovating or transforming at the speed and scale that are necessary.

    Hudson Cable Television Advisory Committee Meeting Minutes Meeting Date: January 19, 2012. Meeting Location: HCTV Studios, Hudson High School. In attendance: Pat Simons, Reed Stith, A.J. Stokes, Brian Suntken and Nick Zaklanovich. Ex Officio: Kerry Paluscsak, Mr. Alex Kelemen – Council Liaison Not in attendance: Abby Boysel, Susan Terkel. Ex Officio: Barbara VanBlarcum. Meeting called to order by Chair Nick Zaklanovich at 6:30 P.M. Notes taken by Nick Zaklanovich. I. Greeting of members and guests Nick Zaklanovich greeted all of the members in attendance. We also greeted Mr. Alex Kelemen, who replaces Dr. Dan Williams as our Council liaison. No guests were present. II. Approval of Minutes The committee approved as written the minutes from the regular meeting of November 17, 2011. III. Station Manager’s Report: Kerry Paluscsak Kerry Paluscsak reported that he was pleased with the very successful and positive budget season that was just completed. Council has approved an adjustment to the HCTV carry over fund balance that has been building up over many years, which will allow the station to move forward with the purchase of four new studio cameras to replace the existing studio cameras. Our camera supplier has provided the station with a price quote below the state contact price, so bids will not have to be solicited. An important component of the deal that makes the four camera purchase possible is that one of the four new cameras was the demonstration camera that we saw at the Sony show that we attended on November 15, 2011. Because it had four hours of use on it during the show, that demonstration camera was reduced in price to the point that all four cameras could be purchased for the budget amount.
