🛍️ Learning for life at Venn Boulevard! 🛍️
As part of our careers programme, pupils have the opportunity to work in the VBC Shop, developing valuable employability skills such as customer service, communication, organisation and responsibility.
Items in the shop can be purchased using VBC points, which pupils earn by consistently demonstrating our school ethos through their positive attitudes, effort, kindness, resilience and respect.
The shop provides a meaningful way for pupils to see the rewards of their hard work while gaining real-life experience that will support them in the future.
A fantastic example of learning beyond the classroom and preparing for the world of work. 💚

During a recent visit to East Park, a group of Harbour pupils spotted an injured young goose with fishing line wrapped around its foot.
Showing great care and compassion, they carefully helped the bird and took it to the Park Warden, who arranged for it to be transferred into the care of the Wildlife Alliance.
We were delighted to hear that the goose is recovering well with treatment and is expected to be released back into the wild soon. Even better, it has made a new feathered friend while in rehabilitation!
Our pupils demonstrated empathy, teamwork and a genuine concern for the welfare of an animal in need. Their quick actions likely prevented the bird`s condition from becoming much worse.
We are incredibly proud of the kindness and responsibility they showed. 🌿🦢💚

🦋 A beautiful end to an amazing journey! 🦋
After carefully observing each stage of the butterfly life cycle, today was finally the day to release our butterflies.
It was wonderful to see them emerge into the world, and some even stopped to rest on our hands before taking flight on their next adventure! 🌿☀️
A fantastic hands-on learning experience that brought our science learning to life and gave us a chance to witness nature`s incredible transformation up close.
Good luck, butterflies! 🦋💚

🏸 A smashing morning for Port Class! 🏸
After trying badminton last week and loving it, Port Class headed to Costello for an enriching morning on the court.
It was fantastic to see all pupils developing their skills, working together in different teams and encouraging one another throughout the session. Most importantly, everyone showed great enthusiasm for healthy exercise and giving something new a go.
The session also helped strengthen relationships within the class and provided a well-deserved opportunity to recharge after working so hard in lessons.
Well done, Port Class! 👏🏸💚
