Curriculum Enrichment Week (CEW) took place on the week commencing 4th July 2022.  Activities are not only of educational value but also provide the elements of personal and social skills students gain by taking part, making new friends, meeting old ones and having to work with others away from their home environment, often for the first time.

Here at PHSG, the courts tend to be the hub of many school activities.

Friday lunchtime, as part of a celebration of cultural diversity, the courts were the scene of a spectacular Bollywood dancing lesson. Despite the heat, a large group of students enjoyed a 30 minute lesson, in what was a thoroughly enjoyable, enriching experience.

We also had food from many cultural origins, brought in by students, for a street food stall, which proved equally popular!

Year 10 students were up for the challenge during their work experience debrief on Friday 15^th July. Working in teams, the students focused on the skills and personal qualities that an individual would need to be successful in the job sector that they had recently worked in.
