At the start of term in my first assembly, I challenged pupils to try something different; to go beyond their expectations, to take up a new activity, try studying something in a slightly different way, or to approach life differently. We have been gathering details of what pupils have been trying this term, and a Powerpoint outlining some of the responses is below. It represents a remarkable array of opportunities, options, ideas, and approaches, and is testament to our pupils, their parents and their teachers who continually encourage them.
These experiences (indeed, they read as a list of accomplishments!) all contributes to Our Ethos here at Hamilton College, which is based around the values of;
Grace, Confidence, Wisdom, Innovation, Compassion and Reflection.
I'm sure you will agree that the lists below certainly demonstrate that pupils possess and are constantly developing these important qualities.
Have a wonderful and blessed Easter when it comes.
