Weekly News – Issue 11 29th November 2019

Dear Parents/Guardians

Headteacher’s Headlines…

You will see from the diary that Year 11 Mock Exams begin next week from Monday 2nd December. Please note there is no study leave. If your daughter is not scheduled to be in an exam, she will have a normal lesson. Please see below a timetable on page 9. Meanwhile please make sure your daughter knows the date, time and place of her exams.

I hope the girls have been revising. GCSE exams are getting more difficult and these exams give staff a chance to identify areas of strength and weakness in order to fully support the girls. This year the girls will not be getting results from their teachers in class, we are going to replicate August and have a brown envelope day in January when the girls will come to the hall to pick up their envelope with their results!

You are all warmly invited to our annual Christmas Service on Tuesday 17th December at 6.00p.m. There will be a selection of carols and readings to celebrate the season of Advent and the birth of Our Saviour at Christmas. Preparations for Christmas are underway, the girls have been busy raising money in their forms for CAFOD world gifts and alongside the

usual bake sales we have competitions, a lunchtime film show and crafts and ribbons on sale. It is good to remember others during this season of goodwill. On the last Wednesday of term we have Christmas lunch in the Dining room and this will also be Christmas Jumper Day at Ursuline. To wear a festive jumper girls should in return bring an item for the Redbridge Foodbank, please see page 7 for a list of suitable items.

Congratulations to our Jack Petchey Winners, girls and staff who had their Awards Ceremony at the Town Hall on Wednesday evening. Please see photos below on

page 5. Girls are nominated by their peers and staff to win the award for a variety of reasons and we are immensely proud of all of them. Well done! Serviam!

Please note that if you are dropping your daughter off to school in the morning you must not pull up on the zig zag lines, neither is it wise to stop in the middle of the road for your daughter to hop out. Cars often try to overtake slow or stopped vehicles not realising a child is in the road. It is dangerous, please find a safe spot to pull over. Morland Road can get quite congested in the morning; it might be better to consider dropping students in Coventry Road or Cranbrook Road or even a five-minute walk away.

Online Wellbeing: The BBC has created a ‘wellbeing’ Smartphone app called Own It, aimed at children. It monitors how young people interact with friends and family online and through messaging apps. Please see link… https://www.bbc.com/news/technology-49726844

Young Ursuline Links

We had a very productive day today deciding what our Christmas project would be and we eventually decided on a warm clothing collection (hats scarves, gloves and socks) to donate to Charity Shops/Shelters and creating Christmas cards to send out to the elderly

or lonely in care homes.

And, the Year 8s and 9s have been preparing for Advent this week and writing lovely messages on their advent candles in the lead up to the festive season!

Our Christmas fundraiser this year is CAFOD World Gifts.

Every class has been given a catalogue from which they choose what gift they want to buy and then they as a class fundraise for it.

The creativity in the fundraising ideas has been phenomenal and we are really impressed with how hard the girls are working to raise money for such a good cause.

The gifts range from £4 for a queen Bee to £33 for water for a family to £85 for a toilet. One class has already raised £150 and the deadline is not till Friday 13th December.

Thank you in advance for helping to support this amazing initiative. We will keep you updated on how much the school raises.

If you as a family would also like to contribute to this great charity the online catalogue can be found at

www.cafod.org.uk/worldgifts

Cleo Gammon, Chaplain

"We, 9C, have worked very hard over the past few weeks with Ms Eakins, raising funds for CAFOD. Our original target was £100 however we have managed to raise...…£204.70 which is amazing!

We held a bake sale on Thursday and also held a raffle for a lovely Chocolate Advent Calendar which was won by Amber Padua in 10T. Congrats Amber!!

We also made some beautiful bracelets which we were taught how to make at our retreat a few weeks ago.

We are so proud of ourselves and appreciate all the support given to us over the past few weeks! Thank you!

We know that all donations will really help those who are less well off than us"

Jack Petchey Achievement Awards

Wow!....Wednesday evening at Ilford Town Hall. What an evening!!

Our Ursuline pupils Fleur Davies, Rosie Harwood, Stephanie Kamau, Arooj Ahmed, Adreen Fernando and Jahzara Musau once again excelled at the Jack Petchey awards. We couldn’t have been prouder of our lovely girls receiving their well-deserved awards. The audience cheered them on in style making them feel like Hollywood celebrities! We are truly grateful to the Jack Petchey Foundation and of course, our brilliant school staff for managing this scheme, whose hard work has paid off at this very memorable event.

And our Head of Design Technology, Mrs E Reilly, won the Jack Petchey Outstanding Leader Award Winner.

Adreen Fernando 11J: The Jack Petchey Ceremony was an interesting experience for me, and I absolutely enjoyed it. I was nervous at first, but when I was on stage receiving my award I surprisingly felt calm. To me, it is a huge honour as it reminds a lot of students as well as myself to “be motivated and achieve”. Jack Petchey tells people that when you know you can do it, you can!

Mental Health and Wellbeing in the News

“Come to me, all you that are weary and are carrying heavy burdens and I will give you rest.”

Matthew: 11. 28

The Ursuline Academy Ilford is working to raise awareness of Mental Health issues, particularly amongst young people. Mental Health and Wellbeing being particular interests of mine, I will be regularly sharing in our Newsletter articles or news reports which I think are particularly relevant to our school community, students, parents and staff. I will address a different mental health-related topic every month.

Miss Ammeux (Head of MFL Department and Mental Health Advocate)

November Theme: Anxiety

We conclude this month’s focuson anxiety with an article from The Guardian about FOBO, the Fear Of Better Options.

https://www.theguardian.com/global/2019/nov/24/fear-of-missing-out-fomo-making-decision-biology-fobo-christmas-turkey

We are running drop-in Mindfulness sessions (with Miss Ammeux) every Friday at 10:45 in the Chapel. All students welcome, no experience necessary.

Do you take hours to make a simple decision? You may have Fobo

Fear of missing out has a more anxious sibling and could stop you going to social events – or buying your Christmas turkey.

Here is what is behind fear of better options ‘To have Fobo you must have options. So the richer you are, the more powerful you are, the more options you have’ …

Recently, Mike Hall, 48, a management consultant based in Winchester, decided to get ahead with Christmas

preparations. “Do I buy the free range bronze turkey for 10-12, or 12-14, even though there are only seven of us for Christmas Day?” he wondered, attempting to tot up all the different variables. “What about leftovers? Should I buy two turkey crowns instead? And which ones?” Such granular decision-making went on and on, until eventually he gave up in exhaustion. He has not yet bought a turkey.

Indecision when the decision is simple, or the options all acceptable, is the defining characteristic of “fear of better options” – or Fobo – a social phenomenon coined by Patrick McGinnis, a US venture capitalist and the man known for coining the term Fomo, or fear of missing out. Fobo can occur everywhere from minor decisions – what to watch on TV, what to eat for dinner – to more significant ones such as whether to take a new job. Whatever the case, a Fobo-afflicted person may find themselves overwhelmed by the possibilities of what might be (some call this “analysis paralysis”) even when no outcome is guaranteed, and when some of those options aren’t even on the table.

A common example may be figuring out what to do on Friday night. Sure, the invitation to hang out with work colleagues is convenient and guaranteed to be enjoyable, but there is another party across town where something even more fun might be happening. Then there’s someone on Tinder who floated Friday night as a possible date, while your flatmates are heading to a restaurant opening.

Someone with Fobo is likely to hold back on commitment, or commit then cancel.

“I bail at the last minute, all the time” says Aoife O’Donaghue, 24, a recent graduate based in Edinburgh. Such dithering can be exhausting for friends and family who depend on someone for a firm commitment, and bring stress to the person themselves.

A Fobo-afflicted person may find themselves overwhelmed by the possibilities of what might be (posed by model). Photograph: Carl Smith/Getty Images/fStop For O’Donaghue, it’s always the smallest decisions she has the hardest time making. She describes a time at university where she was trying to figure out where to study - the library or a cafe. “I was thinking, ‘Will I work better in one place? Would I like a cup of tea? Will there be enough seats?’” O’Donaghue describes working herself up over this for 15 minutes until she had a stress-induced stomach ache. “I ended up going to the library, and then to the cafe. So it didn’t even really matter” she laughs ruefully.

16

So what’s going on? McGinnis, who has been researching Fomo and Fobo over several years for his forthcoming book, and for his podcast Fomo Sapiens, argues that Fobo is not necessarily a new human behaviour. “These feelings are biologically part of who we are. I call it the biology of wanting the best. Our ancestors a million years ago were programmed to wait for the best because it meant they were more likely to succeed.”

But the mass introduction of sophisticated technology and the internet has accelerated Fomo and Fobo into a common social behaviour. After all, we are now able to easily compare ourselves with each other (thus producing feelings of Fomo) and overwhelm ourselves with choice (producing Fobo).

“Go on Amazon to buy a pair of white shoelaces and you have in excess of 200 choices, whereas 50 years ago you would go to Woolworths and choose between three,” says McGinnis. “So that’s the context. The other factor – which is more emotional – is that Fobo is driven by narcissism, because when you have Fobo, you’re putting your own interests well before anybody else’s, which leaves all the people around you on hold.”

McGinnis himself experienced feelings of Fomo and Fobo when he coined the terms in a Harvard Business School paper 15 years ago.

“Harvard is a place unlike others in terms of the amount of opportunities you have – classes, social events, interviews – at your disposal,” he says. “I came from a simple background – a small town in New England – and when I arrived I found it extremely overwhelming. I wanted to do everything – which is Fomo – but at the same time, I wasn’t willing to say no to anything and just choose one thing, which was Fobo. I would wait until the last minute to see if a better option came along. And I realised that that was a pervasive behaviour at Harvard because of it being a choice-rich environment.”

This is the main difference between Fomo and Fobo. Anyone with a smartphone looking over the often manipulated and unrealistic lives of others on social media might feel Fomo. But Fobo, according to McGinnis, is an issue for the privileged.

“Fobo is an affliction of affluence,” says McGinnis. “To have Fobo you must have options. So the richer you are, the more powerful you are, the more options you have. That’s when you start to feel it.”

McGinnis doesn’t believe that Fobo is restricted to the individual either – large corporations can be affected by it (“a multinational with access to big data can always find a reason to justify not doing something”), and so can countries.

“I have come to believe that the Brexit situation is Fobo. Fobo is the inability to choose between one of many acceptable outcomes. You may not like Brexit but there are plenty of acceptable ways it could be structured, without going to no deal. But any time Mrs May brought a proposal to the Commons, she couldn’t get a vote because all of the MPs were waiting for a slightly better option.”

On the individual level, though, O’Donaghue is not entirely convinced. “I’m a privileged person, compared with other people. But I don’t think the things I’m choosing between are very luxurious. I’m talking about choosing dinner, or what’s on the telly. Maybe my problem is one of overthinking.”

Decision-making is a complex mental procedure involving several of the brain’s executive functions, that is, the key cognitive processes your brain uses to control your behaviour – from planning to managing impulses. People with conditions such as ADHD and autism, where executive functions can be impaired, may find themselves struggling to choose between options.

17

But is Fobo just an easy-to-swallow euphemism for something more serious or taboo, such as an anxiety disorder?

Nicky Lidbetter, chief executive of the charity Anxiety UK, doesn’t think so. “It is possible for anxiety to be experienced around many different issues, of which a fear of choosing the wrong option in regards to big life decisions may be one,” she says. “Fear of a better option, however, is more likely to be linked to or a trigger for a pre-existing anxiety condition as opposed to being sufficient to warrant being categorised as an anxiety disorder in its own right.”

So for those without pre-existing conditions, what exactly is everyone afraid of? What is the “fear” in Fobo?

McGinnis says it is a “fear of letting go”. “In order to choose something you must let go of another thing and it’s the fear of having to mourn the road untaken. So we would rather not decide at all and keep all of our options open.”

“Maximisers set themselves high standards and are disappointed when they fail to reach them”

There is some psychological foundation to this. Some psychologists have found that when it comes to decision-making, people can be split into two groups: “maximisers” or “satisficers”. Maximisers are people who make a choice based on maximum benefit later on, while satisficers (a portmanteau of “satisfied” and “sufficed” first coined by the Nobel laureate Herbert Simon in 1956) will make choices based on a modest criteria.

Maximisers, for example, may pay more for a bigger car than they actually need in case they want a bigger one in future, whereas a satisficer is likely to pick the car that is good for now. Maximisers set themselves high standards and are disappointed when they fail to reach them, lingering on what was lost rather than what they have. Both have been the subject of many studies, but one from 2011 conducted by a team led by Joyce Erlingher from Florida State University and published in the journal Personality and Individual Differences aimed to explore whether “maximisers show less commitment to their choices than satisficers in a way that leaves them less satisfied”. That is, are maximisers more likely to be unhappy with their choice, once they finally land on it? Their conclusion: a resounding yes. “Maximisers miss out on the psychological benefits of commitment,” the authors say. “Current research is trying to understand whether they can change. High-level maximisers certainly cause themselves a lot of grief.”

Perhaps then, those with Fobo are simply maximisers facilitated by contemporary technology, or perhaps contemporary technology is turning more of us into maximisers. Or maybe people just don’t really want to do half the things they say they do.

Whatever the case, for McGinnis, correctly identifying this phenomena and giving it a name is crucial in changing these behaviours, which he sees as being “destructive”.

“It’s my view that Fomo isn’t all bad because Fomo can be that little whisper in your ear that we should try something different. If you see your friend starting a business on the side, or you see your friends going on a vacation to Malta and you feel Fomo, that’s a cue to try something else and open up your perspective. So a little Fomo is fine. But Fobo is not good.”

O’Donaghue however, is not so concerned about tackling her Fobo. “I think it’s an inherent part of my personality,” she says. “People get used to you being like that if you’re good friends.”

18

Neither is Hall. “It’s part of who I am, I have always been this way” he says. “Last year, it took four attempts and three hours for me to buy a turkey, looking across M&S, Waitrose, Tesco, Sainsbury’s. In fact, it got so late, they couldn’t even deliver it by the time I chose one.” But he is confident he will get this year’s turkey soon. He has already decided which one.
