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.

School meeting!
The School Council will be meeting tomorrow (tuesday) 5th lesson in C0:01. If you are a house rep, please make sure you are there!!!
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

A huge congratulation goes out to those learners who participated in the Hospitality and Catering day in friday! The atmosphere was exellent, and all those who took part were a credit to themselves and the school!
Well done people!!

Intense Science
Next week, a number of students will benefit from a three day intensive Science support course on Tuesday Wednesday and Thursday. These people must attend in order to achieve.
If you are on the list, THIS IS HUGE!!!! as this could be the thing that takes you above the 5A*-C threshold.
I want every member of Olwen to achieve this goal, and anything that is put there to help you, must be grabbed with both hands! Your TFL's will be made aware of who you are, and will let you know!
