If I had to sum up Crew Finch’s first two weeks back at school in just one word it would be:
WOW!
I have been absolutely blown away by each and every one of my Crew’s positivity and eagerness to begin their Y9 journey. In just 2 weeks they have had all sorts thrown at them: Careers, GCSEs, Passage Presentation and Duke of Edinburgh, alongside the usual fieldwork, immersion activities and expert visits.
Oh, and an 8 mile hike on the Monsal Trail.
And they haven’t batted an eyelid, even though they know that they will have to work harder than ever before to face the challenges ahead. They know that there may be struggles ahead but while there’s Crew, they’ll get each other through (there’s a song in there somewhere!)
So, my first blog of Y9 is to give a MASSIVE appreciation to Crew Finch for being so enthusiastic and positive about the new school year and everything Y9 has in store for them. An appreciation for getting straight back into the business of learning and – perhaps most importantly – getting straight back into the business of being Crew.
Year 9 – we’re ready for you!
