SLG Update

Two pieces of news from Friday from the SLG.

Firstly, a massive thank you to everyone in school, for their generosity in their donations to the Haiti Earthquake fund on Friday.  A final total will be posted soon, but we believe that a substantial amount has been raised for the fund.  Mr Horn (headteacher) said:

"Absolutely delighted that our student leaders took control of this and have generated such a generous response for the Beckfoot community.  Will we raise £2K? Great work team!"

Secondly, the SLG and other student leaders took part in a conference of Bradford secondary school headteachers in Leeds, discussing our work in the school.  The event, which involved a presentation and a discussion of leadership in school, was extremely successful.  From Mr Horn:

"Tremendous feedback from Bradford Secondary Heads about the quality of the presentation made to them by the SLG. Really confident, assured Beckfoot ambassadors. Many of the heads are very keen to learn more about what we are doing here and use that to model a similar student leadership experience in their own schools. Makes me feel very proud to work with these students."

BSF Meeting

Tomorrow, there will be an important and exciting meeting of the BSF Student Participation Group in the Conference Room.  All members of the BSF Group are invited.  If you cannot attend, please pass this message on to S4 as soon as possible.

Haiti Earthquake Appeal

On Friday 22nd January, we will be collecting donations to help survivors of the Haiti earthquake. There are many ways in which your donations could support the aid effort and so many people's lives depend on your generosity.

More information on our appeal will be posted around school over the coming week and information will be available from form tutors. Please remember that this is one of the poorest countries in the world and what little people had before this disaster has now become even less.

Please pledge as much money as you can. Thankyou.

We're back!

Happy new year, everyone, and welcome to a new term at Beckfoot!

Sorry for any delay in getting started again after Christmas with this blog.  This was the result of the poor weather conditions, which resulted in the cancellation of several meetings, the closure of school on a couple of days, and, as a result, a shortage of news to report.  We hope to be back to normal service soon, however, with what promises to be an exciting term on the Student Leadership front.  We'll be back with the latest news soon, so watch this space!
