SEND Service Holiday Play and Youth Schemes

Application - Holiday Play and Youth Schemes

We are extremely proud of our PSHE programme at Victoria College! PSHE (Personal, Social, Health, and Economic) education is the backbone of excellent safeguarding, empowering young people to make good choices to improve their mental and physical health, build social skills, foster positive relationships, and prepare for future careers and financial independence. It equips young people with the knowledge and skills to navigate life safely, make informed decisions, and become responsible members of society.

In Years 7, 8, 9 and 11, students enjoy a distinct one hour PSHE lesson taught by experienced members of staff including those in the Leadership Group. In Year 10, we currently operate drop-down events to ensure our pupils have access to the information and strategies they need to stay safe in their ever-changing world.

We strive to support you, our parent body, in expanding the discussions taking place in the classroom at home. To that end, we invite you, as a family, to enjoy a weekly dinner discussion around the supper table. If these discussions prompt further topics, please do get in touch with our Head of PSHE, Mrs Silver (g.silver@vcj.sch.je) so we can share!

This term, students will be focusing on:

Year 7: First Aid

Year 8: Relationships and Sex

Year 9: Drugs and Alcohol

This week, the following topics have been the centre of discussion in PSHE lessons:

Year 7 - How would you go about helping someone if they were choking?

Year 8 - How could you support a friend who has ‘come out’ to you? 

Year 9 - What is binge drinking? How can people avoid it? 

Please find this week's Warning Orders here. 

Many students have completed their one or two 3 month sections. Well done, but it doesn't count unless it is entered on the eDofE platform!

Don't forget to evidence your progress and to get your assessors to write their report! Any questions, please ask Mr Watteau! 

For more information please click here. 

Thank you to parents of students in Year 10 who have asked for dinner table discussion topics! Year 10 will begin their PSHE sessions this academic year so, with this in mind, their discussion prompts are linked to the topics they will cover in due course: relationships and sex education, citizenship, drugs and alcohol education and mental health strategies. We hope these prove interesting and afford meaningful opportunities for you to build on our discussions in lesson time!

The topic for the next week is: What do you remember from Year 9 about contraceptive choices available?

It is possible for Year 11 students, who are already 16, to start their DofE Gold award. Please contact Mr Watteau (m.watteau@vcj.sch.je) for more information.

Additional information online can be found here.

Thank you for submitting renewed passports. Travelbound have shared our flight times. These can be found on the China Teams channel, which students are members of. We are also following closely the recent news that China has agreed to allow British nationals 30 days VISA free into China. Currently, no date has been confirmed as to when this will take effect. We will keep you posted of any changes and continue with our application process.
