Thank you Mr Hackett for this Thinking Outside the Box Club update.
"Things are moving forwards. Jae and Dean are busy painting their tables whilst Ibrahim, Harrison and Kevin are making a start on their F1 cars. What started as a club solely for Year 8 students has started to evolve and students from other year groups have asked to join. Getting creative is one of the best things for positive MHWB. Did you know that Winston Churchill used to lay bricks as a way of escaping the stresses of his work? Personally, I can't think of a better way to spend a damp Thursday afternoon in June than with a bunch of students working on creative projects. Watch this space Maclaren!"
