Dear Parents and Carers,

I'm delighted to share some positive highlights from the past few weeks with our Year 8 cohort.

Harmony Week

This week, we celebrated Harmony Week, a significant occasion for our school community. During Monday's LEA session, students engaged in a variety of activities designed to foster understanding and appreciation for cultural diversity (pictured below). These experiences provided valuable opportunities for students to learn from one another and reinforce the importance of respect and inclusivity. Further to this, on Friday 21/03 CMCC will be holding various activities throughout the day to celebrate Harmony Day, with students able to wear orange accessories for the occasion.

Challenge Yourself

We are also thrilled to see the increasing number of opportunities available for students in representative sport, drama, and music. In my address to the year group on Monday, I encouraged students to step outside their comfort zones and take advantage of these enriching experiences. Participating in these activities not only allows students to develop their skills and talents but also builds confidence and fosters a sense of belonging. We encourage you to support your child in exploring these opportunities and discovering their passions.

Whole-school Focus

Furthermore, I want to acknowledge the positive impact of our recent whole-school focus on reducing litter. The concerted effort during Break Two on Monday resulted in a significant improvement in the cleanliness of our school environment. This collective action demonstrates the students' ability to work together and take pride in their school community. We appreciate your support in reinforcing the importance of maintaining a clean and respectful environment.

We continue to be impressed by the enthusiasm and engagement of our Year 8 students. We believe in nurturing their potential and providing them with a supportive environment to thrive.

Thank you for your ongoing partnership in your child's education.

United in Mercy
