If you can help, please bring your donation to the office marked for the attention of Helen Clark, thank you.

HEADPHONES

Headphones must not be worn by any student on the school site. The SEND department has ear loops or ear defenders to borrow and students need to access these or bring their own ear defenders/loops for use during the school day. Students are not allowed headphones of any format in exams or during assessments and access to mobile phones via headphones or any means is prohibited at all times.

YEAR 9 DESIGN TECHNOLOGY PROJECT

The objective was to create a board game and packaging for children or family fun. Materials were card and paper for applying typography and developing branding for the product.

Y10 AND Y12 WORK EXPERIENCE WEEK 1 - 5 JULY

As previously advised, all students are required to obtain a work experience placement for the week. We encourage students to find a placement relevant to their chosen career plans but any placement to experience the world of work is encouraged if students are struggling to find placements - for example in a shop, school, cafe or other local business.

If they have already arranged a placement, please ensure that this is logged on our careers website, Unifrog. Students have had training on how to add a placement which is a simple process of adding using the placement button on Unifrog.

Please see the link below for students to log their placements. All students log on with their school email and if they have forgotten their password can click the 'forgotten password' button to easily set a new one.

https://www.unifrog.org/student/know-how/direct/how-to-use-the-placements-tool

Once students have added their placements and provided employer contact details, Unifrog will send the given employer contact details of the paperwork we need completed from a safeguarding point of view to allow students to attend their chosen placement.

Students will only be allowed to attend placements once they have logged their placements on Unifrog and we have received the relevant paperwork from the employer and parent/carer permission to attend.

If students have secured a placement with a relative/family member we still require this process to take place as part of our safeguarding measures.

Please contact your child's tutor or sixth form mentor for any support needed around securing a work placement.

MONTPELIER HIGH SCHOOL FASHION SHOW

Montpelier high school have got together with Peg Squires, a Fashion Technician from UWE, to put together a monumental Fashion show!

The Fashion show will take you on a journey through time, depicting the history of the school, from its foundation in 1891, with its original name, ‘Colston’s girl’s school’, through the events of the 20th and 21st century, to the school’s eventual re naming.

By reaching back and confronting the past and its relationship to the present, only then can we face the future. Please come along to our no holds barred fun and creative way of looking at history.

To be held at Montpelier High School Theatre.

Thursday 27 June 6 pm (school show for parents/carers, friends and family)

Friday 5 July 7 pm (Open to all, part of St.Paul’s Carnival fringe events)
