What a start to the year for Crew Ardern!
We’ve welcomed a new student into Crew, gained a new (but very familiar!) Crew Leader, Mrs Watson, who will be guiding us alongside Mr Currie through this final year at XPE.
We hit the ground running on day one with a beautiful walk at Langsett – the perfect way to reset as a Crew, reconnect, and remind ourselves of the importance of supporting one another.
By Wednesday, Crew Ardern were showing their competitive edge in Who Wants to Be a Millionaire? – taking joint first place, of course, because that’s how we roll. We also took on Taskmaster, putting our creative and problem-solving skills, working together to the test to scoop another fab day in the bag.
Thursday was all about getting ready for the challenges of Y11: resetting norms and expectations, learning effective revision techniques, building revision timetables, and even hearing from our alumni, who shared valuable guidance and tips.
On Friday, we wrapped up the week by creating our Crew wall planner – our roadmap to success – and presenting it proudly in community meeting.
What a way to kick off Year 11 Crew Ardern – we’re ready to smash this year!
