RMS Sixth Form Bulletin Edition 12: 1st July 2016
As the penultimate week of the whole year comes to an end, Hind House suddenly seems unusually quiet now that the common room is only filled with half the amount of girls in comparison with the start of the year. The absence of Year 13s has caused a reduction in the typical buzz of Hind House’s atmosphere. However, despite the sadness of losing many of our “Year 13 friends” and “the Big Sisters of the school”, I must say, us Year 12s are certainly enjoying the larger side of the common room, the increase in sofa space and a smaller queue to make cups of tea, coffee and hot chocolate. But on a serious note, Year 12 wishes all the ex-Year 13s the best of luck as they prefer to enter the Big, Wide World. Congratulations, Year 13…You’ve made it!! Fenella What are we doing next week? Monday: In the afternoon the girls will have a talk on drugs. This is compulsory and girls with free periods will need to remain in school for the talk Tuesday: We welcome back the class of 2015 who are coming back to share their experiences of university. Girls have been given the option to pose questions about university to the students. Wednesday: Girls will have form time and share their advice for year 12 to the joiners from year 11 Thursday: End of Year Service Friday: House Day. This is an important part of the school year and helps us bring the full RMS community together. I look forward to lots of participation from the Sixth Form. Mrs Freeman

The Youth Council is open to any young person aged 11-19 who lives or goes to school in the Three Rivers District, and is a great opportunity for young people in Three Rivers to have their say, discuss a wide range of topics, and really make a difference in their local community, while learning valuable decision making, debating, and organisational skills. Meetings are very friendly and relaxed, and new faces are always welcome. On the agenda for the meeting will be NHS Blood and Transplant, where you can find out more about the services it provides to the NHS, including supplying enough safe blood, tissues and solid organs to hospitals and discussing if everyone be considered organ donors unless they ‘opt-out’. Young people, who are interested in attending, can also listen to Youth Connexions personal advisers discussing careers education on work experience apprenticeships, university and the job market. Lastly, two organisations that were granted money from the Youth Council in February, which comprises of Three Rivers West Children’s Centre and St. John Ambulance – Rickmansworth Cadets and Badgers, will show how the grant money has been put to good use. The Youth Council, which meets three times per year and each meeting, is chaired by one of the young attendees on a rotating basis and topics for discussion at each meeting are decided on by attendees.
