Wellbeing Evening at Neatherd - Tue 6 Dec, 6pm in Canteen. On average, three students in every class will suffer from poor mental health. Most mental health issues will emerge during the years our young people spend at secondary school. At Neatherd, we take a whole school approach to mental health awareness and now we want to extend that to the whole community. Our third annual mental health community event will take place on Tuesday 6th December. It will start at 6pm and will take place in the Canteen. The event this year will be focused on how we can create a kind, safe and healthy environment both in school and at home. To book your place, please contact Mr O’Brien via email (Nick_O’Brien@neatherd.org) or by calling the school. Light refreshments will be served.

Neatherd Xmas Cook-Off 2016 Last night saw the conclusion of the two day special Neatherd Christmas cook off. Two teams from each house competed, cooking a wide selection of festive inspired dishes from around the world. On Tuesday Miss Mullineux and her Kett team – Maisie and Nancy walked away with the dish of the evening. A Dutch inspired Hutspot potato and onion mash complimented with Pepernoten, little spiced biscuits. Last night Mr Mayhew was dealt a raw hand having two of his Y11 boys drop out last minute, presumably to focus on their mock revision. Representing Kett alongside Courteney they managed to create two types of German market inspired biscuits along with an alcohol free (I promise) Gluhmost – orange and cinnamon infused apple juice. All scores from both nights have been added together to have an overall winner, well done to Kett house taking first place having secured victory over both nights. I have included all of those who competed and helped out, so if you see any of them around school please give them a big congratulations. The next bake off event will be in the new year, with a slight change in the application process (more to follow….) A special thanks to Mr Scahill, Dr Faulkner, Miss Mullineux, Jonny, Jack and Elena for judging. If anyone is interested in being a judge please let me know! The night also would have also ground to a halt without the help of Mrs Patterson and Mrs Phillipo in food tech, helping me out in sticky situations. Thanks guys. Mr Anderson, Food for Life Coordinator Kett – 150 House points Cavell – 100 House points Carter – 50 House points Fry – 20 House points Each contestant also receives 50 house points for competing individually.

Christmas Hampers 2016 Pupils and staff from Neatherd High School have been busy collecting and packing Christmas boxes which the local Foodbank will deliver to families in need of food supplies over Christmas. “I wanted to strengthen our links to the local Foodbank with this project”, says Mrs Jacobs, Head of Upper and Lower School. According to Foodbank there will be about 140 families in the Dereham area who will be in need of a food parcel over Christmas. “We wanted to help to at least provide a third of those parcels”, says Mrs Jacobs. Representatives from the Dereham foodbank came in to tell Neatherd’s students how Foodbank works and what they have been able to achieve over the years. Every form group then received a blank cardboard box which they had to fill with non-perishable food items from a list provided by Foodbank. In a house-competition the students also decorated their boxes in Christmas themes to make them look bright and cheerful. Leah, Johnny, Jack and Ellie judged the boxes according to their presentation and their content. “It was fun filling and decorating the boxes”, says Emily from Year 11, “everyone should be happy at Christmas time and food plays a big part in it – this is a really great idea”.
