Thursday 6th October C25 are attending a Careers Fair at Elland Road. This is a fantastic opportunity for students to look at the range of college, university and apprenticeship courses that are available to our students. The students will be leaving school at 10.30am so will be in crew and then session 1 before they leave. We will arrive back at school by 3.30pm.
We’re looking for a Primary Teacher, and Secondary STEAM/Humanities Teachers across XP Trust!

While most were at home during the staff day on Monday last week, two members of our crew members were part of a group of students who delivered a keynotes speech to the whole staff trust. Harvey and Shawn were incredible! As crew leader I was very proud!
Crew have been doing some amazing work since being back and it has been lovely to hear so many positive comments from your teaching staff. Here are just a few examples of students working hard and beautiful work.
Unfortunately this week, Harvey is unwell but in his usual positive spirit he joined us online via hangout for crew and once again we had’ virtual Harvey’ on a chair in the circle.

I wanted to share some of the beautiful work that 9 Explorer has been producing in their art sessions.
I am so impressed with the craftmanship and quality.
Year 9’s first expedition of the year is called ‘Another Brick in the wall’ which has the guiding question ‘How are our lives affected by structures?’
They have created their own expedition title pages:
They have been looking at the street artist Phlegm and reproducing their own work in his style as well as an artist research page.
As you can see – it’s looking great!
I can’t believe September has come to an end already, this year is flying by so quickly! All the more reason to cherish the moments we have left as a crew. And that’s exactly what we did.
Due to the staff days, Year 11 lost some crucial session time this week. However on Tuesday, Crew Anoa’i, along with the other Year 11 crews of XP East, took part in a History catchup session. They continued their work on the Black Death and made up for lost time. Great job everyone!
On Wednesday, C25 gathered on the stairs of XP and shared our appreciations, apologies and stands with one another. This was also a chance for staff to share their appreciations with students in the form of a slideshow. Special shout out to Jacob, James, Denim and Zach for receiving some great appreciations. Well done, keep up the good work!
On Thursday, Crew Anoa’i completed our weekly ‘to do’ list. We started off with attendance. As a crew, we discussed the overall average of our crew and who we need to hold accountable. We then moved onto the praise log, looking at each crew member’s achievements from the previous week. We finished our crew session by playing The Frog Game, a game that gets the brain working by counting the eyes, legs and total number of frogs entering a pond. This was definitely one of my highlights of the week. It was lovely to see everyone smiling and laughing!
To finish the week on a high, the students of XP East all gathered on the stairs for our whole school community meeting. We celebrated the success of our students from Year 7 all the way up to Year 11. We also revisited the Attendance League – Crew Anoa’i were 15th place with 12 points. Yes, we haven’t gained any points (Very disappointing!). However, Crew Anoa’i are still in the top 15 crews of XP East. I have made a pledge to help my crew improve this, as it is key for the students of Year 11 to be in school as much as possible leading up to their exams.
Bring on next week!

We had an amazing Y10 awesomeness meeting this week, with lots of applause to celebrate the praises and appreciations from staff! It was also wonderful to hear lots of students appreciating fellow students and staff during this community meeting.
Big shoutout to Crew Obama (XP East) who are leading the way with the Top 5 praises… what a Crew! Meanwhile, over at XP, I wonder if anyone will come close to Hazel’s magnificent tally of 21 praises before the end of term?

Yet another bumper edition of praises and appreciations from our Y11 awesomeness meeting on Wednesday morning. As you can see from the postcards below, staff are super impressed with Y11’s work, effort and focus (especially Miss O’Grady!)
They really are a joy to read and share 🙂
