Congratulations to our Year 10 Humanities students who took part in Romsey Town Council’s Youth Democracy Day, last week.

Our students had the opportunity to engage with the full democratic process and learn more about the local council’s priorities for the local community. Students from local secondary schools then took part in a democratic vote to have their voice heard on what they think the council should be focussing on next year. Feedback from the event organisers stated that Mountbatten students were fully engaged and demonstrated impeccable behaviour throughout the activities. Well done, Year 10!

Following on from last week’s employer assembly, students took part in further work experience preparation during RSHE this week.  Final pointers were shared by their tutors this morning, including who to contact if they have any concerns during their placement.

Students will also receive a work experience log sheet which they should complete during the week as this will help them remember key points for their work experience review lesson, after the Easter holidays.

We ask that you contact both the school and the employer to report an absence if your child is unable to attend on any day. If possible could you please email attendance@mountbatten.school and enter ‘work experience’ in the subject title.

This half-term, Year 7 will be exploring how to lead healthy lifestyles by considering what health and fitness is before identifying the need for good food, sleep and exercise habits. Students will also explore the impacts of energy drinks and caffeine-based drinks on health and fitness and the law around the sale and consumption of some products. Students will also consider how oral hygiene is important and how lifestyle can affect teeth and gums. Vaping will also be explored, providing students with the opportunity to consider the law, recent guidance and the worrying effects of using E-cigarettes.

This half-term, Year 8 will be exploring healthy lifestyles and good physical health, as well as how to maintain emotional wellbeing and self-worth, when using social media. Media bias and different media sources will also be covered, so we can encourage students to consider what influences they may be exposed to and what the reliability and validity of different news sources are.

Year 9 will begin the new year by considering what supports healthy living and how to lead a healthy lifestyle at this age. This also includes how to maintain positive mental health and self-worth when using social media. Students will consider how their own self-perception and internet use may be linked and correlated. Students will participate in some basic First Aid training looking at CPR and the recovery position, as well as the use of an AED.

Year 10 will kick-start the new term with a recap on healthy living and positive lifestyle choices. Students will be given the opportunity to identify which strategies suit them best when finding relaxation techniques. This then leads into exploring the impacts of drug and alcohol use. Students will consider their current understanding and perceptions of various substances, explore how to manage the risks associated with their use and how to keep themselves and others safe,  as well as where to seek advice and information in the future. The influences of gang culture and county lines will also be explored.

Year 11 will start the term exploring different stereotypes and ways to challenge them. They will identify what their core values are and how to consider those of others. Students will look at how people identify and explore how they respect the decisions of others. They will also explore why some teenagers are likely to partake in risky behaviours.
