Hartismere News May 2011 1 Volume 4 No. 5 Hartismere News May 2011 Good Weather for the Bronze Practice Expedition On the day of the Royal Wedding, 25 young people, 4 members of staff and a very gallant parent – Andre Sloos ­ set off for the first stage of this year's Bronze D of E Practice Expedition. De­ spite earlier threats of rain, the weather was perfect for walking – sunny but not too hot. That didn't stop the participants loosing their way a few times but all arrived at Stonham Barns Campsite late afternoon in good spirits. The evening weather was glorious and everyone pitched their tents well and cooked their evening meals. There were a few problems the next morning such as missing maps and lack of food for lunch, but everything was sorted out and all the teams began to realise the importance of team planning. Everyone was on their way again by 9 am and walked another 12 – 14 km on the Saturday back to Ashfield cum Thorpe. IN THIS ISSUE Well done to all and a very big thank you to Andre Sloos, Mr Phillips, Miss Beveridge and Miss Campbell. We look forward to the Qualify­ ing Expedition in June.

Thank you School Council Dear All, The school council’s for each year group have set themselves an amazing challenge of raising £1200 from each year group to construct a sheltered outside eating area. We are not expecting to do this over a short period of time so keep a look out for all the posters and fund raising activities to follow. Year 7 have been the first to start with a computer club on Tuesday lunchtimes in A4 which costs just 20p for a 15 minute session. I have been overwhelmed by their commitment and enthusiasm for the project and with a year group like this I am sure great things will follow. Other things the Council has been involved in: Raising the Commendation scheme profile by selecting and buying the trophies Changes to the Uniform Interviewing the new staff for school Putting complaints, ideas and positive comments forward to the school via their meetings And much, much more Thank you to all the School Council reps. Mrs Corbyn 3 Vol.4 No.5 The RSC Chemical Analyst competition @ UEA On 10 th May, two teams of AS Chemists took part in a Royal Society of Chemistry competition at UEA in Norwich. The chal­ lenge – to chemically analyse a sample of Coca Cola, using refractometry, HPLC and titrations. A chance to use some of the sophisticated analytical machines in a Uni­ versity lab. The students had to work as a team to gather data on sugar levels and acidity in the drink. They then used High Perform­ ance Liquid Chromatography to identify some of the more complex molecules that give Coke it’s instantly recognisable fla­ vour. Sadly, we still don’t know the top se­ cret recipe ………. Both teams found the day challenging (and tiring), but gathered enough results to report back to the University staff. The Hartismere students enjoyed the chance to work with post­graduate scientists and to try out high quality analyti­ cal techniques in an academic setting. They also got the chance to look around the UEA campus. Mr Luxton First Bronze Duke of Edinburgh Award Ceremony for Hartismere Students Recently Maya Harris and Hannah Spooner became the first pu­ pils from Hartismere to receive their Bronze Awards at a county awards ceremony. The ceremony took place at Bungay High School and was attended by pupils from North Suffolk who had achieved Bronze and Silver Awards, together with their parents and Award Leaders. A local teacher from Stowupland High School, Amanda Richmond, gave a very inspiring illustrated talk on her climb to the summit of Everest – we were amazed that the sherpa was able to climb easily without oxygen ­ before giving the pupils their awards. Lewis Craig also gained his Bronze cer­ tificate but was unable to attend the evening. Since then Saskia Martindale, Ruby Mason, and Kate Thompson have all completed their awards so will be able to attend the next ceremony. If any other year 11s have completed their sections but are having problems uploading onto their eDofE portal, bring your evidence into school after the exams and Mrs O'Carroll will help you complete your award. Mrs O’Carroll 4 Vol.4 No.5 Sports News Suffolk Schools Track & Field Cup On Thursday 19 th May the Suffolk Schools Track & Field Cup was held in Bury St. Edmunds. Eleven schools from the county were competing at both Junior (Yr7 & 8) and Interme­ diate (Yr9 & 10) level. Hartismere pupils put in some out­ standing performances in some keenly contested events. At Junior level the Girls 4 x 100m team (Sophia Bhullar, Jess McKee, Emily Goodwin and Sian Hibbert) eclipsed the rest of the field to finish a deserved first place, having all put in good performances earlier in the day in their individual events, Shannon Sayers also finished second in Javelin. Helena Coe put in a solid display to win the Intermediate Girls Shot with a throw of 9.8m. There were also notable per­ formances from Cicely Lock­Williams and Hannah Maher in the 100m and 200m respectively. Cameron McGhie (Year 7) won his 100m race (a year early!) in a time of 14.2 seconds. Freddie Humphrey­Calton won 200m in a time of 28.2 seconds. Matt Welfare and Sean Dundas won their respective races in the 80m hurdles with the same time of 15.7 seconds (Matt went on to finish sec­ ond in the high jump!) and Euan McKie put in a personal best throw of 32.32m in the Javelin to win his event. Strong per­ formances were also put in by Joe Broom (100m), Michael Drake (200m) and Giles Blanchard (Shot). In the Senior Boys competition there were wins for Tom Hargrave (100m) and Cameron McKie (1500m), both of whom are eligible to compete again next year, and Luke Britton (Javelin) and Louis Harvey (Shot).

The end of the financial year coincided with the exceptional occurrence of the Coronavirus. The financial markets reacted to the economic impact of the pandemic containment measures implemented world-wide and this has affected the results reported at the end of the financial year. During the financial year the Fund value increased appreciably, which in part, helped to offset the market downturn in March when global stocks saw a downturn of at least 25% in most of the developed nations markets. The value of the Suffolk Pension Fund was £2.808 billion at 31 March 2020, which was a decrease of £123 million from the previous year. The Fund had an investment return of -4.5% in 2019-20. Over five years the annual return has been 4.7% per annum, and over ten years 6.8%.

  • Primary Mental Health Workers (PMHW’S)
    Primary Mental Health Workers (PMHW’s) Background A number of additional Primary Mental Health Worker (PMHW) posts have been funded by the Suffolk CCG’s during the course of 2014/15. These are supplementing the PMHW existing roles the primary function of which is to interface with GPs, Children & Young People Integrated Teams and education establishments. The role involves offering consultation & sign-posting to professionals, targeted training, attendance at multi-agency meetings (i.e. Team Around Child) and short time-limited interventions. One of the new posts has been designated to be based in the Multi-Agency Safeguarding Hub (MASH) at Landmark House and will support professional decision making and onward referral into appropriate services for children and young people that are displaying emotional, psychological and mental health issues. Who is the It is a preventative service that offers advice, consultation and training for service for? professionals who are supporting children, young people and their families with joint assessment and some direct interventions for those children and young people who are experiencing mild to moderate mental health difficulties with associated low levels of risk. The PMHW Service is for children and young people up to the age of 18 years (in exceptional cases to 25yrs). The service is for children and young people with emotional, psychological, and mental health needs who require access to either brief individual support or an evidenced based programme of interventions for children, young people, parents and carers. Each practice has an allocated PMWH. If the situation is more urgent, and the nature of the child or young person's mental health symptoms are more acute and carry greater risks, then a referral to the Access and Assessment Service should be made.
