Have Christmas on Us!

After a very successful first showing last year, the very popular ‘Have Christmas on Us’ attendance initiative returns for another year.

I’ve mentioned many times how important good levels of attendance is for a young person’s education. On a par with reading for pleasure, good attendance at school is the best way to maximise learning and enjoyment in school, and therefore it’s something that we take very seriously at MHS. So seriously in fact, that despite being very short of it, we are prepared to put our money where our mouth is. The initiative includes some genuinely helpful prizes aimed at families rather than the students themselves.

To qualify for the prize draws that will take place at the end of the day on Thursday 19th December, a student just needs to attend every day in December. That’s 14 days in total. Not only will that do wonders for their attendance record and their progress in school, but they will have the chance of winning the following prizes for their year groups:

Top prize: A £50 voucher per year group

Runners up prizes: Three £10 vouchers per year group

Last year this initiative helped MHS students attend at a rate well above the national average for the month of December, and we’re hoping to do even better this year.

Here’s to a very strong 14 days.

Best wishes,

Joe Barker

ps a reminder that we are IN SCHOOL on Friday 20th December as well, periods 1-3, and finish for Christmas at 12.20pm
