RSA8 On the 10 th of December our RSA 8 team enjoyed a fantasc Challenge Day at Whitley RSA Academy, where they worked alongside other year 8 pupils to develop their transfer- able “soſt skills”. The pupils took part in a range of acvies that required communica- on, concentraon, confidence, and cooper- aon. The pupils had the opportunity to re- flect on each acvity and consider how these new skills would help their development both in and outside of school. We seek to develop confident and creave learners who can thrive in a changing world. Christmas Jumper Day! Save the Children. Ho, Ho, Ho!
