HEADLINES
Last week I had the opportunity to listen to some great educational speakers,
including Professor Deborah Eyre, Priya Lakhani, OBE and Dr Nihara Krause.
Whilst all of their specialist areas are very different there was an overriding
theme regarding attitudes towards learning. The power of growth mindset, in its
truest sense, enabling children to readily take up challenge or opportunity rang
true, as this is the way we support children’s learning at Rose Hill.
With this in mind, it is terrific that our Year 6 girls have taken part in Roedean’s
STEM Festival where they explored chemistry, computing and more. Thank you
Roedean for hosting this wonderfully engaging event.
Next week we celebrate our own STEAM Week. I look forward to reporting back
on the many events we have lined up for our pupils. Thank you in advance to all the pupils and staff for
embracing this event, especially Mr Mansfield and Mr Izzard for your energy and expertise.
This morning we have held our first Open Morning of the academic year and it has been our busiest to
date with thirty families registering to visit. Thank you to the PA parents who volunteered to meet with pro-
spective parents and to our wonderful Year 6 tour guides. We are holding our first Coffee Connections of
the term next Friday straight after drop off. This is an informal event for parents to come together, I look
forward to seeing many of you there.
And finally, well done to the U10 Boys’ Football team for their stunning victory last Saturday winning the
annual 5-a-side tournament at St Michael’s, read more about it later in the newsletter.
Best wishes.

SHOEBOX APPEAL
CONGRATULATIONS Congratulations to Rufus who took 1st place at Saturdays race at the Indoor Lowland Championship in
the Netherlands beating the next fastest u10 boy from Belgium by over 1.5 seconds. Ben took 6th place in
the u12 category, and was 3rd fastest GB boy.
Congratulations to Julian who completed the Kent Golf Approved
Junior Academy 2019.
Congratulations to the following children who have completed the
following Nessy objectives:
Max M 30 objectives
Ameer TA 20 objectives
At this time last year we collected items to fill 344 shoeboxes, for the Satellite Rotary Club of Southborough and
Pembury, which were then sent to Eastern Europe. They were much appreciated by children and families last
Christmas.
This year the School Council would like to support this initiative again. Over the next few weeks Rotarians are run-
ning their ‘Shoebox Appeal’ and have asked Rose Hill School if we could collect non-food items, small enough to
fit into a shoebox, to send to children in Romania, whose only Christmas gift will be the items in the shoebox. Fur-
ther information can be found at http://www.rotaryshoebox.org/ .
There are 3 categories for the shoeboxes:
• Children from 0 to 7 years old
• Children from 8 to 11 years old
• Teenagers
There will be a female shoebox and male shoebox for each category and the items that are acceptable to send
can include:
Toothpaste, shower gel, shampoo
Stationery, small books, notepads
Toys, games (nothing that needs a battery)
Gloves, scarves, hats, combs, mirrors
Soaps, sponges, flannels, hair decorations
Teenage items cosmetics, stationery, games
Items should be new or of good quality, remembering that the recipient will be opening the box in eager antici-
pation and, especially with toys for the children, quite possibly the first real gifts they have received for a very
long time.
We hope you will kindly support this Shoebox Appeal and bring in your donations to your child’s class teacher by
Friday 18 October. We will then pass them on to Mr Cornish and members of Rotary Club for collection and
packing into special boxes. (DO NOT prepare your own shoebox as all donations will be sorted appropriately at
