Shene students caring for others

We got £ 500 for Haiti!!!


£200+  through collections at lunch


£ 69.38  Concert for Haiti (clap clap clap clap clap)


£230.00 sponsoring Ms Hoey wearing straaange clothes


The cheque will go to Action Aid or the local Baptist church, who has a son actually there working to help.

I was also thrilled to receive this email yesterday from Catherine Wareham of Randstad Education. She begins by explaining that two of our students have been nominated for a 'Good Citizen' award, following an invitation from their Head Office to schools to nominate a student who has made an extra contribution this year. They select an overall winner, 2 regional winners and 2 runners up.  Catherine writes:
 
"This year we had over 50 responses and I am pleased to say that Robbie Dreamer has been awarded the South Regional Winner and Shahab Rami the runner up.

We have agreed to come down on Tuesday 2nd March at 10.30am to drop off their certificates and we also wanted to buy them a couple of vouchers from our office as a further congratulations. Robbie will receive £20 and Shahab £10.
I have enclosed below what was written about them and who nominated them."

I am writing on behalf of a number of staff at Shene School to nominate an outstanding student for citizen of the year.


When walking through Shene School every day, I guarantee myself one thing: a kind word and a helping hand from an exceptional 13 year old boy. R, despite going through over 60 operations for a variety of conditions, holds no grudges and never in the year and a half I have known him has acted the victim. We can all learn something from R, how to accept what life has thrown at you and smile through every day no matter what people say. R is a credit and an inspiration to our school.


Kind Regards,


Sara Richardson, English and Citizenship Teacher, Shene School


Shahab Rami Year 10 Age 14.


I and Victoria James (Spanish teacher) as well as some other teachers at Shene Secondary School would like to nominate the following student.


Shahab always stays behind at the end of every lesson to help tidy up, even when it's not his mess. He always politely greets staff and asks how they are and is friendly .He always looks cheerful and content and smart. He is an active member of the student council and on a recent trip to City Hall he represented the school very well, asking intelligent questions and making valid debating points.


He is also a very active and keen member of the Year 10 rugby team, helping to motivate others while seeking feedback to improve his own performance.


Susan Vila, EAL teacher, Shene School

As you will guess, I wholeheartedly concur with her final sentence: "I look forward to meeting you and the outstanding pupils."

We are delighted and proud of Robbie and Shahab, who are worthy recipients of these awards.
