During our Wellbeing Week, pupils were treated to a ‘Staff Jukebox’ each morning within their Class Tutor groups. Staff members nominated their favourite song. The song that received the most votes within a particular Class Tutor set was played. There was also the opportunity for pupils to receive House Points during their Tutorial period by guessing the member of staff by just their smile. Form I and II pupils had the opportunity to win a £10 Victoria Square voucher by solving a clue to help them find Dr Springer dressed up as Wally in a ‘Where’s Wally?’ challenge. Kate Emerson was the first pupil to solve the clue - ‘Roll up, Roll up! Come see the stripèd man. In sight of building filled with words, And by the place where Form I go, Trek down the serpent path, And turn to find the hidden one. Roll up your sleeves, Come get involved! Find Handford’s man, And claim the prize!’, and therefore won the £10 voucher. During the week, there was also a Form I Extracurricular Fair organised by the Head Boy and Head Girl and their deputies, and the start of the ASPIRE programme for Form V pupils organised by external agencies YeHa and Streetbeat.
