Extra Curriculum
First Aid, Coffee Morning
Every year we offer First Aid courses which are delivered by St John Ambulance or Train Aid and cover basic or essential first aid.
These certified courses give students an insight into the primary survey, CPR and how to deal with casualties. The courses are usually delivered after school for 3 hours and are a combination of theory and practical.
#savealife
Every year in September to coincide with the national Macmillan Coffee Morning, we at Holy Family Sixth organise our own morning with students baking and supporting this fantastic cause.
Over the last three years, we have continued to raise over £200 per morning.
Sign Language Courses
In Spring 2018 15 students successfully completed a sign language course over a term which saw them learn key things such as greetings, everyday sayings, family and food information to be able to have a conversation.
Throughout the year we have a variety of extra-curricular and enrichment opportunities available to support students with their applications to Universities or to further develop their skills towards achieving their aspirations.
