BBC Young Reporter Competition

10th August 2020Mrs C Titherington

The BBC Young Reporter Competition launched this week and the BBC wants to hear from young people who want to report on a story or issue which is important to their life or the world around them.

The competition is open to 11-18 year olds across the UK.  Young people can enter individually or as a group and the closing date is 31 October 2020.

The winners will get to work with programme teams like Newsround, BBC Breakfast or The One Show to produce their story for TV, radio, online or social media – with the help of BBC journalists, producers and programme makers.

There’s more info about the BBC Young Reporter competition on the BBC Teach website

They are looking for original story idea outlines: they don’t have to be completed reports or features. To enter, young people need to upload their story outline and explain briefly why they want to tell their story – using this online form.

Previous winners have reported about how alcoholism can affect families, the lack of diversity in books, experiencing early menopause and how volunteering helps overcome mental health problems.  Here’s an overview of some of last year’s winning stories.

Emotions during Coronavirus (Covid-19)

30th July 2020Mrs C Titherington

COVID-19 has changed all our lives, causing disruption to our daily routines. Not going to school, to your usual clubs or activities and being away from friends can make you feel angry, stressed or anxious. Many young people are finding this time difficult.

There is no right or wrong way to feel. These may be new emotions or the current situation could be exaggerating feelings you already had before.

Talking to someone you trust is often the first step to feeling better. They might be a parent or carer, teacher or family relative or even a good friend. You may find that your friends feel the same way.

You can also talk to Kent Youth Health.

If you are aged between 11 and 19 you can text ChatHealth on 07520618850 for anonymous and confidential support for any emotional or physical health problem (Monday – Friday, 9am-5pm). Find out more at ChatHealth.

If you need urgent help outside those hours you can contact ChildLine on 0800 1111 or access their webchat .

If you are in immediate danger then please call 999.

You can also access the Children and Young People’s Counselling service. A youth counsellor will help you develop strategies to feel better.  You can also use this service to speak to our bereavements counsellors  if you have lost someone you were close to, to the Coronavirus.  Text ChatHealth on 07520618850 and ask for counselling, call 0300 123 4496 or complete the online referral.

We also recommend Kooth, an excellent website for any young person in Kent, with online counselling.  Kooth counsellors are available 12 – 10pm every day.

Moodsparks has been created by young people in Kent to help other young people develop their emotional resilience.

If you unsure of what help you need then you can call 0300 123 4496 and Kent Youth Health will work out how to support you. Monday to Friday, 8am to 6pm.

Lockdown Legends Launch

28th July 2020Mrs C Titherington

What is Lockdown Legends?

Lockdown Legends is a project to recognise the fantastic achievements of our young people in Kent. Whether it is to acknowledge their efforts at home, in the community, or through schoolwork, clubs or their own personal development KCC want to hear about it and celebrate it! Open to all young people across Kent aged 8-19 (25 with SEND)

https://s3-eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/smartfile/e2c7482630406945015caf56704f2890/uploads/2020/07/28114646/Lockdown-Legends-Facebook-1.mp4

What sort of things count?

There is no defined list but things such as shopping or volunteering for the community, helping at home, helping friends or relatives, being a great home learner, learning a new skill or developing a talent, writing songs or making things. The options are endless!

Who can Nominate a young person?

Nominations can come from anyone! Friends, parents, carers, teachers, professionals or the individual can self-nominate.

How will KCC recognise the achievements of the young person?

All nominees will receive a certificate, then each week/month, a selected few will feature in a you-tube video / photo montage that will be posted on KCC’s You-Tube Channel and share on their youth social media pages.

Who will make the selections? 

KCC’s nominations team will consider all the entries each month and notify those that have been selected. As Lockdown measures are lifted, they hope to involve young people in the selection process and in the compiling of video interview footage for their channel.

What happens after Lockdown?

KCC hope that this project will evolve over time to celebrate the amazing achievements of our young people, perhaps with themes, e.g. Summer Legends, Rainbow Legends etc (any ideas you have let us know).

How do I nominate a Young Person?

Please complete a nomination form here or via KCC’s website at www.kent.gov.uk/lockdownlegends

Do we need consent?

Yes! Consent will need to be obtained from the parent / carer for any young person under the age of 16 that wants to take part.  Young people over the age of 16 can complete the consent themselves.  Please use the consent form here

Who do I contact for more information?

Year 9 Guided Choices Evening

By Mandy Simmons28th January 2019

28 January 2019

Dear Parent/Carer

Re: Year 9 Guided Choices Evening

I would like to invite you and your son/daughter to the Year 9 Guided Choices Evening on Wednesday 6th February 2019 at 4pm.

The aim of this evening is for parents, carers and students to understand the guided choices process and to visit the subject stalls to gain more information on each Subject area. There will be a brief introductory talk outlining the process at 4pm in the hall and then you will be free to visit the stalls that will be located in our Sixth Form Block. These stalls will close at 6pm.

 

Throughout the evening and the guided choices process, students will be guided towards their best suited options. All students will have a meeting/interview once forms have been completed and returned in order to discuss their choices. Students will be given help and advice on the suitability of the courses they have chosen based upon previous attainment.

 

Options

Students will have the opportunity to complement the core programme of Maths, English and Science subjects with three options. However, we ask them to select six possible option subjects. Students are asked to complete the form and hand it to their Form Tutor.

 

Will students definitely be able to do their chosen courses?

It is important that your son/daughter selects course at the appropriate level and chooses subjects that will give them the most chance of academic success.

Availability of all courses offered depends upon sufficient numbers of students choosing the course. Should courses be under-subscribed or over-subscribed, it will be necessary for students to make alternative options. There is also a possibility of clashes with a student’s options once the whole year group has been timetabled. We will talk to students individually before any decisions are made.

Attending this evening is extremely important as it is when your son/daughter will receive the choices available to them at KS4 and you will be able to initially ask for help and guidance on the process.

 

I look forward to seeing you then.

 

Yours faithfully

Mr R. Gardner.
