ICT AND VOCATIONAL AWARDS Pupils were presented with a certifcate and flash memory stick in assembly by Mr A Morris (Head of Upper School) and Mrs D Williams (Head of ICT and Vocational). This award is not only for high achievers. It is awarded for overall performance in terms of progress, achievement or attitude or a combination of these! If a pupil is given this award it is recognition from their class teacher for the input their have made to their class during the last academic year.

UNSUITABLE WEBSITES Staff are still increasingly concerned about pupils accessing unsuitable websites from home. The websites in question are in no way endorsed by Welshpool High School and indeed they are filtered out by the Powys filter meaning they cannot be accessed from school. I have contacted one particular website on a number of occasions and requested inappropriate and obscene content be removed following complaints from parents and staff. Please be aware that if your child joins websites such as these their personal details including any photographs can be accessed by anyone who uses the internet, anywhere in the world, at any time. If your child has joined any websites which involve sharing and exchanging information, images, videos and messages, I would recommend you regularly monitor their use of the website or if you are unable to do this that you consider cancelling their membership. There are a number of websites on the internet offering advice to parents about internet safety issues such as www.getsafeonline.org. We will be covering internet security and cyberbullying in depth during ICT lessons using resources from www.thinkuknow.co.uk and www.chatdanger.com (amongst others) If you have any queries or concerns please do not hesitate to contact me at school.
