Headteacher’s Comments School Council On Friday we had a School Council Meeting in which elections took place for our representatives on the Hartlepool Youth Council. It was a most impressive meeting with ten students giving speeches on why they should be elected. Members of the Local Authority were overwhelmed by the talent and quality of our students. The successful candidates were Lauren Howells, Danny Winship and Jack Palmer. Catcote Road One evening last week a lady fell over on Catcote Road. She was assisted by our students who called the emergency services and stayed with her. Two members of the public have contacted us to say how responsible our students were. I do now know who our students are but if you know anything about this I would like to have their names please. News of former students On Thursday of last week Luke Robertson won the Hartlepool Mail Young Entrepreneur Award. Runner up was Paul Gough. Christopher Marshall Bell has secured a position next year as a Journalist with Cycling Weekly. Revision Once again, last weekend was very busy for the school with lots of students coming in for revision sessions. Well done to all who attended and good luck for this weeks exams. To all students, please remember that some students are taking very important exams at this time and your cooperation and contribution to a quiet and calm atmosphere is much appreciated.
