Two important events took place this week. On Thursday musicians from The Hamble School joined with vocalists from Bursledon Junior School, Hamble Primary School and Netley Abbey Junior School for our first Collaborative Concert. The children (and staff from the schools and Hampshire Music Service) worked so hard to make this a fantastic event and a real showcase of musical talent. The event was a true celebration of music.
On Friday students and staff took part in our Remembrance Day commemorations. The History department delivered an assembly and the Art department produced a beautiful Poppy installation. Well done to all the students who took part in the Remembrance service.
Next week is WEEK 1.

Theme of the Week – Anti Bullying
During the week, the Progress Leaders and Anti Bullying Ambassadors will be delivering the assemblies for Anti Bullying Week. We will remind students that if they have any concerns, they can use the ‘Report it’ button on the website or mail staysafe@thehambleschool.co.uk We have also sent parents/ carers some information.
During the Personal Development sessions in tutor time, students will discuss the following question:
- Year 7-10 – How can we ‘reach out’?
- Year 11 – Students will continue with study skills, revision and preparation for their mock exams.
Children in Need – Friday 17 November
On Friday it is Children In Need – a chance to fundraise for the national Children In Need appeal. Throughout this week, students will be encouraged to bring in any small change to hand into their tutor for collection. On Friday, this change will be added to a total for each House with a competition to see how much each house has raised.
On Friday lunchtime we will have a host of different charity fundraising stalls with a chance to win sweets, fast passes and other prizes! If students want to take part, please make sure they bring in some money. Please be aware, students will be expected to wear full school uniform on Friday.
