Mrs Dodd led assemblies, focusing on the theme of ‘Resilience’. Students entered the theatre to the song ‘High Hopes’ by Frank Sinatra, before Mrs Dodd used the analogy of her training to climb Ben Nevis, Britain’s highest peak, as an example of how preparation, training, the right equipment and a lot of resilience is needed to achieve your goal!  Students will face challenges throughout their lives, both in and out of school and it’s all about how we face these challenges, seeking support when we need it, trying again when we fail and building our confidence up along the way to ensure our own successes!
