What an amazing day with @RespectME_uk teaching our students about key topics linked to their wellbeing and to see them get so involved and eventually present to their year groups and dance was amazing. We look forward to them coming back on Wednesday!
GAA makes us proud. Our students went above and beyond and donated two and a half shopping trolleys of gifts to ensure others their age had a Christmas present. Some couldn't get to the shops so they donated money which is even more than we asked. #GAAcares
Thank you to St Damian's school for inviting us to join them for an Interfaith Afternoon Tea. It was lovely to see so many students involved in talking about religion and culture.
In addition to the amazing advice and support students receive from the GAA Careers team there are some local careers events on this week for those who need to talk about their next steps. Check out this site for local support and opportunities also https://t.co/tLmD8mxBVg

I'm a big fan of being driven by the needs of your cohort, rather than just being driven by what's statutory.
For example...
After the hard work of our staff and students on improving their employability skills this year we are thrilled to have achieved our silver award. GAA makes us proud
Best wishes to our amazing Miss Hadfield today as she attends the ACT Citizenship conference and then the award ceremony for Secondary Citizenship Teacher of the year. We are proud to have her on board! GAA makes us proud!
We had over 100 applicants for our SSNAP team who will educate our school and local primaries about Online Safety. Give a round of applause to the successful candidates who will be in action right away. So many students willing to represent GAA. More opportunities coming!

These two wonderful ladies completed a sponsored silence and made bookmarks and origami animals to sell. We want our students to know that community works well when everyone does the little bit that they are able and that is what they did. GAA makes us proud!
Here are our wonderful bracelet making ladies from year 7 getting an award from their fellow students. Students loved their bracelets so much that they asked if their stall could be open all year round. Great talent, generously used to help others GAA makes us proud!
Today our Charity Champions concluded their fortnight of fundraising with our raffle. They have raised ยฃ525 for Willow Wood and have shown so many skills we teach in Personal Values. Here are some of the winners and some of the team in action. GAA makes us proud!
Our GREAT students have worked hard. They have shown Leadership skills as they organised their activities, Enterprise skills as they maximised sales, Communication skills as they pitched to several audiences but most importantly Passion and empathy as they gave it their all!
