This week the Year 7 and 8 students have been participating in TIPS Week. TIPS stands for “thinking innovatively and problem solving.”
Throughout the week pupils learn important transferable life skills through lots of different activities. These skills include collaboration, forming ideas, problem solving, creativity and persistence even when the event presents a challenge.
Students have taken part in a variety of activities including conducting, code breaking, survival skills, stand-up comedy, mosaic making and creating a film!
