Year 9 Pastoral evening

I'm looking forward to seeing many year 9 parents on Thursday evening - and hearing your comments on what we do under the general heading of personal, social and health education. The format is popularly known by the staff as the sex, drugs and rock'n'roll evening.

Some of the topics from the Year 9 PSHE lessons include:

• Who I am; how do I learn; the way I study
• Personal Hygiene
• Safety on the Internet
• Mobile Phones – dangers, misuse, school rules
• Child Protection
• Smoking
• Fitness/Healthy Nutrition
• Self-esteem
• Food, Diet and Teeth
• Illegal Drugs
• Sexual Development
• Laws and effects of alcohol, tobacco and drugs
• Rights in general
• Teenagers and the Law
• Sanctions for Teenage Lawbreakers
• The Role of the Magistrate
