Cookery Club
The Cookery Club runs weekly after school for Year 7 students. Our students are taught basic health and safety, the values of healthy eating, and how to cook simple but tasty recipes. Students are given a recipe book of dishes.
Anti-bullying Club
This club meets weekly to support all students to deal with peer pressure, manage emotional triggers, staying safe from verbal attack, saying no in ways that are effective, setting boundaries to stop unwanted attention. Students at the club work cooperatively. There is a Befriending scheme, peer mediation and assertiveness training.
