Virtually Safe, Virtually Sound

On Wednesday 16th September, we welcomed a range of visitors to the school to deliver workshops focusing on various aspects of Health and Wellbeing that are particularly relevant to current social issues, including online safety, AI, anti-bullying, hate crime, and smoking and vaping.

Our pupils engaged positively throughout the day and shared the following reflections:

  • “Words can make a massive difference to someone’s life.”
  • “It shows how a fun can have consequences.”
  • “We purposely got to break the rules then learn the consequences.  Definitely never doing that in real life!”
  • “I learnt that the police can get access to everything.”
  • “Vaping can affect your whole body, not just your lungs.”
  • “I like a good debate about the affects of AI.”
  • “I didn’t know some of these things were crimes.  I am going to be kinder to people.”
  • “Make it more interactive and hands on.”
