GOLD STAR GLORY
Rewarding Students9 Success
Every half term, we celebrate students who have spent at
least one week among the top five house point earners in
their year group. Alongside having their names displayed on
screens around the school, these students are invited to a
special Gold Star assembly, where they receive a certificate
and their very own Gold Star badge. It is always wonderful to
see the pride students take in earning and wearing their
badges around school.
Our most recent Gold Star assembly was another fantastic
celebration of student success. Five students were delighted
to win Amazon vouchers in a prize draw, and one very lucky
student went home with a brand-new laptop. The sixth laptop
awarded this year went to Eashan in Year 8, who was
absolutely beaming with pride when his name was drawn.
At Queen9s Park, we know that a high performing and
achieving culture is built on support and recognition of
effort. Our Gold Star programme is just one of the many
ways we encourage students to aim high, work hard
and take thrive.
FESTIVAL FUN
Ending the Year Together
As the school year drew to a close, students and
staff from QPHS and CIS came together to
celebrate in style at the Handbridge Summer
Festival.
For one afternoon, lessons were put on hold as
more than 700 students headed to the front field
to enjoy a fantastic range of activities. From a
giant inflatable assault course and zorbing
football to sumo wrestling, henna painting, a
digital photo booth, ice cream vans and the ever
popular sponge a teacher stall.
