In our first House assembly for the New Year we spoke about each month being a new chapter. During a Sigma House meeting, the tutor Reps and Prefects shared what they would like to achieve this year. We shared this with the House and explained that if we didn’t reach that extra mile or gym session. Read that extra book, put in enough revision, then we could begin a new chapter next month and start again until we reach our goal. Below are a few of the goals that Mrs Arnold, the Reps and Prefects set themselves.
Sigma have signed up with Walkers to recycle any brand of crisp wrapper.
We have a recycling BOX for your empty crisp packets.
Make sure they are empty and pop them in the box. Once we have 400 we will send them back to Walkers to be recycled. This will raise money for our House Charity.
What happens to the recycled packets?
The crisp packets are cleaned and shredded to turn them into plastic pellets.
These pellets are then transformed into park benches, plant pots, watering cans and cool bags.
Thank you to Erin White who has collected them in her dance class and Kushal Vijay who has collected them at home. If you would like to support our Charity and recycle your crisp wrappers, please send them in to school. Students can take them to Mrs Arnold.
Sigma have been invited to take part in a Charity Swimarathon on:
Sunday 3rd March 2019 at Clifton High School’s Pool: 10.30 -11.30am
Team of 4-8 students to swim for one hour, we have two lanes booked.
Sponsored as a team, swimmer or length!
All money raised to our House Charity.

Finally Aineias spoke about the Bristol Youth Vote 2019.
In January 2019 young people in schools, colleges and youth centres across Bristol will be voting in 32 young people to the Bristol City Youth Council for a 2 year term of office.
If voted in their role will be to represent young people’s views to adult decision makers like the Mayor, Councillors, Council Officers, and Members of Parliament, and influence the decisions they take.
Congratulations to Theodore Bradwell (Year 7) and Dorian Erlic (Year 9) who have been elected onto the council.
They were up against 15 other candidates from around the Bristol North area.
Thank you for your continued support with all our events.
We hope you all have a very restful half term.
