Crew Anoa’i: The End Of September

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!

C26 (Y10) appreciations and praises

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?

Beautiful work from E26 (Y10)

What an absolute pleasure to pop into Y10’s art session with Miss Taylor this afternoon!

Students are working on Celtic knots and designing their own Viking Longship Figureheads.

I saw beautiful work from all students, including Caitlin, Shawn, Charley, Violet and Harvey, whose art is pictured above. I can’t wait to see their final products.

Absolutely amazing, Y10!
