Dear Student

This is Minsthorpe Community College’s FREE Programme of Extra Curricular Activities for 2015 – 2016 for all students.

Whatever your interests we hope that this varied range of activities will appeal to you and inspire you to get the most out of college life. There are several new activities taking place over the academic year including the Lego club and a host of sport related activities. Are you ready to join in, do more and get more from your free time! Then this is the simplest way to do that.

Remember that there is a great deal of evidence to prove that taking part in opportunities like these improves your confidence, achievement and examination results. We hope that this will be true for you at Minsthorpe. Our extra-curricular programme is jam packed with a range of activities to suit a range of interests so that the College is able to demonstrate our whole hearted belief that ‘Everybody matters, Everybody succeeds, Everybody helps’

Your subject teachers, Cross Curriculum Team Leaders and Progress and Achievement Mentors will be telling you about the different activities. Just go along at the start of any of the sessions and make sure that you give your name to the staff leading the students. A register will be taken at the beginning of each session. If you’d like to know more about an activity before attending, simply speak to your teachers first.

The activities are after College, starting at 2.30pm and most of the sessions finish about 3.45pm so that you are not too late home. If you would like to see other activities included that are not in this year’s programme, please speak to me and we will see if it is possible to organise them for you.

During the year look out for new and different activities which will be organised for you. There will be Inter P&A Group competitions; Most Able Events; various Extra Revision Classes and numerous Sports fixtures. Your parents must complete and return a parental consent and medical details form if you want to represent the College, home or away, in a College Sports Team.

Remember to always tell your parents/carers where you are going to be and what time to expect you home. Please note that some activities within this programme may be subject to change throughout the year.

Be Safe and Enjoy!Mrs J CollinsAssistant Principal, Student Wellbeing and Safety
