Gurkiran’s happy bunny post!

Hi, I’m Gurkiran, Deputy Head Girl for Student Welfare. My role involves the pastoral care of the students; in simpler terms making sure the school is filled with hundreds of happy (and potentially bouncing with joy) bunnies!
I just want to say feel free to come and talk to me about anything whatsoever. You can usually find me in the common room. Any concerns or ideas you have would be really useful in our aim to make school life even more enjoyable. I know we all want to feel the glee vibe at our school! But honestly this is YOUR school. So please come and talk to any member of the team and we’ll try our very best to make change happen. Alternatively you can email me at i04gregu@challonershigh.com.
At the moment a VLE page is being set up for the school counsellor so from September you will be able to book an appointment with her online instead of approaching the office staff. Abi the school counsellor is lovely so don’t be anxious in approaching her for advice.
I’m also planning to set up a mental health awareness campaign; hopefully having a whole week dedicated to the cause. I will need some help in coming up with some smashing ideas to raise awareness so look out for notices in your registers! If you are interested check out this website: http://www.time-to-change.org.uk/home.
Part of my role is making sure the form prefects, heads of year and befriender roles are running smoothly. This year we want form prefects and heads of year to have a more influential role in supporting you, so hopefully you will notice this. As 6th formers we’ve been through it all; the good, the bad, and the ugly so why waste our spectacular wisdom! In the head girl team one of our aims is for 6th formers to integrate more with the rest of the school and hopefully these changes will help achieve this. New befrienders will be chosen soon and I can’t wait to work with them into making their roles even better.
I’m sure you will be seeing me around school as I plan to come round to each form and ask you lots of questions about life at school. Anyway better stop before I ramble uncontrollably. Hope you are all enjoying summer term, work hard and play even harder!
