All Years, Industrial Action Update
In the current period of industrial action, we have had to take the decision this week that the Tilling Building for Y7 must close at morning break only in order to maintain staff-student ratios. This decision is to ensure that we keep the school open to all year groups and is under constant review. This is the only adjustment to the normal functioning of the school. All other events and routines continue as normal. You will be updated if anything changes.

All Years, Dinner Table Discussions
To enable parents to have a better idea of what our KS3 students are studying in their PSHE lessons and to spread these conversations out of the classroom and into the home, we would be delighted if you could adopt our dinner table discussions into your weekly schedule.
Each week there will be questions that you can ask your child, that will link into their learning from PSHE that week and hopefully prompt interesting conversations.
This week's questions:
Y7 - Which behaviours would you see in a healthy relationship?
Y8 - What is life like for children who work on the cocoa plantations? What are fairtrade products, and why do we have them?
Y9 - What did you learn from Brook when they came into your lessons this week?

To better access their Neurodevelopmental Service, CAMHS have introduced this CAMHS Support Pack containing information about neurodiversity, links to resources, sessions and local support services (this is a live document that will be updated as the Service offer develops). Key events to note are:
-
Introduction to the Neurodiversity Service sessions – these will take place every first Tuesday of the month for parents/carers that believe their child may be neurodiverse and would like to find out further information or are on the waiting list for an assessment. This session takes place at St James School, Jersey Youth Service from 12:00 – 13:00. The session focuses on: an introduction to CAMHS, neurodiversity, the assessment process and support available.
-
Weekly drop-in support session for Parents/Carers of neurodiverse children - Starting on Monday 27 November 11:30 – 13:30 at the Yes Project.
-
Sibling Support – siblings of ND children can now access a 4-week course to help them better understand neurodiversity, identify and understand their siblings needs and how to best support them, recognise the importance of self-care as well as have the opportunity to connect with others who share similar experiences. This course is for young people age 9 – 14 years. The next course is running in January 2024 and ongoing support is available via the Jersey Youth Service ‘My Time Project’.
