‘Ad Vitam Paramus’ ‘We are PreparingBelonB for Life’. Resilience Follow us on Twitter @westcravenhigh Friday 6 July 2018 We can be followed @WestCravenHighSchool “Do not judge me by my success, judge me by how many times I fell down and got back up again.” Nelson Mandela Principal’s Update It has been a very busy week in school. Highlights have included a Medieval Day for Year 5 children, an Art event for a group of year 5s, the Pendle inter-school athletics event and a visit to school from Andrew Stephenson. Our Year 10s have had a week focused on their futures with all students involved in an Employability Day hosted in school with the support of many employers and local businesses; a taster day at Nelson and Colne College where we received outstanding feedback on the engagement of the students and some Year 10s were also involved in a Positive Emotional Health and Well Being Network and Skills Event organised by the Mayoress of Pendle. Further details of these events will be in our final newsletter of the year, which will be published before the end of term. On Wednesday we were invited to the East Lancashire Education Awards at Burnley College. We were delighted to have been one of 5 schools across East Lancashire shortlisted for secondary school of the year. We didn’t win – that honour went to our sister secondary school in the Trust, Colne Primet Academy, but we were awarded with a highly commended certificate which was collected by our Head Boy and Girl. Summer Fair We will be holding a summer Fair on Saturday 14 July between 1pm and 4pm. Funds raised by school at this event will be used to support some of our enrichment projects in school. One such project already underway and waiting for some funds to develop further is our outdoor learning environment, which many students are starting to use in their Science lessons. If you are able to support in advance of the event, for example by donating items for the tombola, the book/CD/DVD stall, which can be brought into school any point next week or by contributing items for the cake stall, which can be brought into school on Friday, we would greatly appreciate this. I hope to see many of you at the Summer Fair.
