it may appear there is no hyperlinks here: they appear almost like magic when you hover the mouse over them!!

Maths Revision
As we are all aware, Mathematics is incredibly important and in order to succeed in virtually anything, having high grade MAths GCSE is a bit of a must.
Many of you are having problems with this, but never fear! The Maths department are giving up an incredible amount much free time to be on hand to help you achieve this.
Between them, in a week, they are doing nearly a days extra teaching, SIMPLY IN ORDER TO HELP YOU!!!
Therefore if you are in Year 10 or 11, there are sessions after school to help you, on tuesday, wednesday and thursday!
Notices are up in the form rooms, so there is no excuse why Olwen learners cannot attend at least one of these sessions a week.
As has been said before , please do not let me down!

stone throwing
It has been reported to me, and to the other Heads of Houses, that a problem is starting to occur in school during dinner times. Some people (hopefully no one in Olwen) have been seen throwing stones in the outside areas of the school.
As you can imagine, in a school which has been designed to let in light, i.e. LOTS of windows, stone throwing is a very bad idea.
If you have been doing it, please stop. Any damage you cause will be billed to your parents, and will be dealt with severely in school.

Year 10 Work experience
Mrs. Butcher has been speaking to me and the other Heads of Houses regarding Year 10 work experience.
It seems that out of about 120 Year 10's only 36 have been able to get placements.
For you to go on Work Experience, you will need to get a placement: Ask your folks, family, people you know and trust to see what can be arranged, because without a placement, you will stay in school for the W/E time, and will miss out on a valuable opportunity to gain experience!

merits
Happy New Year!
We have had a think about what merits are given to learners in Olwen. We have decided to make them standard throughout the house, and make sure everyone knows what they are getting merits for!
The merits will be given for:
Punctuality
Attendance
Planner and equipment
Uniform
Manners and Attitude.
If you are on time every day for a week, this is two merits. If you have your planner signed and equipment when you have a spot check, this is another. If your uniform is correct every day in a week, this is the fourth, and the fifth is for the general way you treat people: treat staff and peers respectfully and this is your fifth merit!
Merit charts will be available in all form rooms and will show your totals
