Dear Parent/Guardian
Re: Year 9 ‘Be The Best You Can Be’ Celebration Evening
During this academic year, all Year 9 pupils have been taking part in a programme called ‘Be The Best You Can Be’. On Wednesday 22nd June 2016 we are holding a Celebration Evening to congratulate pupils on their achievements this year. The evening will run from 6.30pm - 8.00pm in the Wallingford School Sports Hall. All Year 9 parents and pupils are invited to attend.
Our programme was launched in September 2015 with a visit from Talan Skeels-Piggins, Paralympian skier. The evening will include pupil comments on their achievements, staff comments, photographs from a range of activities this year, and speeches. All pupils will receive their ‘Be The Best You Can Be’ Medal from Mr Skeels-Piggins.
The ‘Be The Best You Can Be’ Programme is run by 21st Century Legacy. This is part of the educational legacy inspired by the London 2012 Olympics and was established by former Olympian, David Hemery. The main aim is to enable young people to discover their unique potential and inspire, engage and empower them to pursue and fulfil their dreams. More information can be found at www.21stcenturylegacy.com. This year, we have taken part in the programme as we feel that these aims fit in very well with the decisions our Year 9 pupils are taking at this time in their lives. We are very proud of our pupils for taking part in the programme and developing the confidence and determination to achieve success.
I hope you can join us for the evening and take the opportunity to celebrate the achievements of our young people this year.
Yours sincerely
Miss R Mairs
Head of Year 9
