Our Family Fun Run took place on Saturday 11th May, it was a lovely day with amazing weather and a fabulous atmosphere!

Mental Health Awareness Week started this week with the theme being “Movement: Moving more for our mental health”. Our fun run kick started the week, and we managed to raise £320 for Youth Talk!

To celebrate the end of a fabulous Mental Health Awareness Week we want to encourage students to get outside this weekend and snap some photos whilst they’re being active.

We invite students to take part in this photography competition – photos will be judged by staff and winners announced next week! The deadline for submissions is Monday 20th May.

Our Family Fun Run is taking place tomorrow at 2pm, there is still time to book on if you would like to attend.

The entry is £2 per person and all money raised will be going to one of our school charities: Youth Talk. This is a fantastic local charity that supports many of our students, if you would like to donate, please click on the link: https://www.justgiving.com/page/townsend-school-1711022110282?utm_medium=fundraising&utm_content=page%2Ftownsend-school-1711022110282&utm_source=copyLink&utm_campaign=pfp-share 

The fun run is a 2k course and will not be timed, it’s a fun community event where people can choose to run, walk or jog.

The run will start on the school field behind the Discovery Centre and the route is all on grass.

Our school PTA will be selling refreshments afterwards.

If you would like to take part then please complete the Google form and then send payment via School Gateway.

Next week is Mental Health Awareness Week and the theme this year is “Movement: Moving more for our mental health”.

We have arranged for every student to take part in an active session during the week. Year 7 and 8 will be doing a street dance session provided by Street Kicks.

Years 9 and 10 will be doing a circus skills session with Try Circus Skills and year 12 will be doing a movement session with Mrs Giles.  We’re excited that students will have the opportunity to try something new and we hope they’ll have fun whilst doing it.

Students will be doing a movement starter during one of their lessons in the week. We’ll also be encouraging students to get outside at the weekend and have organised a photography competition, details of which will be shared with you next week.
