Year 10 Work experience

Just a quick note to say work experience is from Monday to Friday 4th July - 8th July.

Year 10's are not involved in sports day.

Olwen Mark IV

Today is the day Year 8 join us, and we become a house again!

Firstly welcome to you if you are new to us, and don't forget, any problems please talk to your TFL or me.

Secondly, Mr. Hicks has organised an activity to redesign the Olwen logo - any entrant will gain an EMA, and should your logo be chosen you will receive a house point, and your logo will be used on all documentation!

Thirdly, we have sports day coming, and even with the lead we have, we must enter and win in order to go to Oakwood. Aarron Betts will be coming around the forms to speak to you to organise the competition and to make sure that all events are entered!

Diolch!

PB

Olwen Blog.

Important information is shown to learners in a simple fashion using the blog. Announcements, timetables, and praise are just some of the things that can be shown to learners suring registration times.

The blog can be accessed from home, and dates of interest can be shown.

The blog offers extra maths help, and the "Thought of the Week", which is often a philosophical question aimed at making learners think.

Any suggestions regarding the blog would be greatly appreciated!

Assembly

Please can you fill the chairs at the front of the assembly hall, rather than go to the back as you have been doing!

Diolch!

transition

Bore Da Olwen!

This week Olwen is depleted, Our Year 11's have gone.

This does not mean that we can relax! Our new cohort comes to us next week and I expect you to set a good example to them, as I know you can!

Make sure the Year 8's are welcomed into your forms, and that they are happy in Olwen.

Diolch!

Locker keys and dinner cards

Bore da Year 11!!

Your dinner cards and locker keys need to be returned by friday 10th June.

Envolopes will be provided for the items and your name and locker number must be written on it - if this is not done it will be impossible to match the key to the locker.

Any learner without a locker key must provide £4 to replace it.

If you do not return these items you will not be allowed into the Leavers Ceremony on Friday

Diolch!

computer club

There is a new computer club on thursdays in room D202, between 3 and 4.

It is free of charge, and will involved various multiplayer LAN games, team fortress and counterstrike.

If you are interested, you have to get a permission slip from Mr. Webb

Examination protocol

It is worth reminding people that exams are coming and that there are certain rules and regulations that must be followed:

Be on time - an exam can start without you if you are late, and it is up to the discretion of the moderators as to whether you can enter. If they do allow you to enter you will be at a disadvantage as you will have less time.

do not communicate with anyone once inside the exam room - If you speak to anyone about anything. If the moderator suspects you have been speaking to someone, and therefore suspects you of cheating, then you will be asked to leave, your paper will be cancelled, and any papers you are sitting with the exam board will also be cancelled.

Do not use mobile phones, ipod, MP3 players or any forms of electronic device - Anything that can store or transmit information is banned within an examination room. The reason for this should be obvious. Make sure phones are off, or better still left at home. If one rings in an exam this can also lead you to have your paper cancelled.

Stay until the end. If you are in a 2 hour paper, it is because the exam board feel you need 2 hours to complete. If you have finished after half an hour, you will not be allowed to leave, so you may as well prepare for the exam correctly!

Please be sensible, and get the qualifications you deserve!
