Once again, we welcomed an array of outside guest speakers including NHS, Aquarius, Umbrella and Walsall Street Teams, alongside our staff to deliver our first Year 11 PSHE Day of the year. Pupils learned about the vital skill of cancer self-checking, about personal finance and decisions around money that they would have to make as they got older, more detail about the UK voting systems and politics and beliefs around the world. Alongside of this was real-life practical advice about the effect of drugs and alcohol, STIs and contraception.
Our aim is to ensure that our young people are equipped to make informed decisions as they become young adults. As ever, Year 11 impressed with their maturity and thoughtful contributions throughout the day.
Our thanks to the staff and providers who were involved to provide another high quality day!
