Everyone was very excited last week to attend the first house meeting of the year. Year 6 students had the opportunity to share a speech in front of their House if they wanted to be House Captains. Houses then voted for their 2021 leaders. Well done to all those students who showed courage and resilience performing a speech in front of their House. A lot of time, effort and thought had been put into the speeches and it is great to see students stepping up to present in front of their fellow students.
