Staff Trip to Guru Nanak Nishkam Sevak Jatha Gurudwara
Dates for your diary
On Saturday, some of the staff from Nishkam
High school enjoyed a trip to the Gurudwara
on Soho Road. This included time spent in the
prayer hall. Mr Dhanda informed staff about
the Sikh ethos, appreciating the community
feel of the kitchens which provided free
langar to all as sewa. A tour of the Gudwara
also included a trip to the top, to marvel at
the beauty of the dome and a quick look at
a wedding gathering. At the end of the visit,
staff sat together with the community to enjoy
the wonderful langar.
Dear parents/guardians,
As the October break approaches, it is time to take stock of the very busy half-term
we have had, including significant sporting wins for our netball and football teams,
beautiful plaques for our civic society winners, fantastic figures for attendance (187
pupils with 100% attendance this half term), trips to our local church and to see the
new Suffragette film and our new Facebook page (reaching over 2700 people at
https://www.facebook.com/nishkamhighschool). We've welcomed new staff and
subjects, including Food Technology and Photography, Journalism, Chess and
Zumba through our enrichment offer and we've started our first ever GCSE cours-
es. Students in Year 10 have risen tremendously to meet the challenge and have
embraced the broad and balanced curriculum on offer.
It is timely therefore to return to our Patron's vision: “Every child is precious, deserves
to have dignity, to experience love, to develop inner confidence in being part of
the wider world. Every child needs good nourishment, for the body, the mind and
also for that spark of the spirit that shines within. These are the foundations for suc-
cessful learning; we fail children if we don’t provide these.” It is this vision up-
on which the school has been built. This Saturday, our entire staff visited our Gurud-
wara to learn more about our Sikh ethos and the community spirit which pervades
every aspect of what we do. We returned to school on Saturday renewed
with energy and with spirit, ready to humbly try to bring the patron's vision to life. We
thank you for your continued support of our school and our vision.
We wish you all an enjoyable half-term break.

Consultation – Road Safety Stategy
Birmingham City Council has developed a new Road Safety Strategy with support
from The Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents. They are keen to gather
views on their plans and are asking people to respond to their consultation which
is open until Friday 23rd October. You can find out more and have your say at
www.birmingham.gov.uk/roadsafetystrategy.
Your feedback is important as these strategies effect all road users but in
particular the council are seeking opinions from parents and carers.
