· 4 C’s:
* Last week’s goal was ‘Co-operation’. It was great to see most of the students co-operate with each other and teachers through production preparation. This week’s goal is to use Common Sense - things that are ‘normal around our school’ e.g. walking in the corridors, picking up rubbish (even if it’s not yours), letting others through the door ways, looking after your own property and respecting others’ property etc.
