Wonderful to be able to work with Bishop Fitzgerald's School in support of GIbSams. Lovely 'buddy' benches have been created.
The activities for Christmas 2023 were truly wonderful and they left both staff and students with a wonderfully positive feeling. As always we collaborated with Father Charlie from St Theresa's church and we did the following:
In the school the Year 10 and 11s run a very popular Santa's Grotto which raised an excellent £1000 for charity and created a wonderful atmosphere in the school. The SEN Department run a Christmas Fayre and sold the many gifts which made. There were all sorts of decorations as well as a lovely cafeteria for all our guests. Finally, we had our annual week-long spinathon and our Christmas Doors Competition. In the spinathon we cycled the distance to Lapland (and more) to return to Elf to Santa. We are still counting the donations and sponsorship funds for Students4Students. In the Doors Competition we reused discarded resources and materials to decorate the doors to our classrooms. It was good to see staff putting things away to reuse next year.
The Supported Needs and Disability Office will be hosting a Disability Fair. The Disability Fair will take place at the Covered Muga, Bayside Sports Complex on Friday 1st December 2023 between 12:00 pm and 6:00 pm.
This Fair is an opportunity for members of the public to learn about the services that are available locally from both HM Government of Gibraltar and Non-Governmental Organisations. It is a chance for those working within the field to showcase what they have to offer. It is, also, therefore the perfect opportunity for persons with disabilities and their families to increase their support networks and to share experiences. The Disability Fair will be composed of three distinct aspects, namely: 1. Charity / Private Professionals Stalls Some charities and private professionals will be setting up a stall to inform the community what services they provide and how they can help those with supported needs and disability. 2. HM Government of Gibraltar Stalls Various government departments will be present on the day to showcase what they have to offer those with supported needs and disability. 3. Speakers There will be a stage with keynote speakers who have different messages about disability. All talks are linked to the hearing loop and a BSL Interpreter will be present. Please find the itinerary below: TIMESPEAKERTOPIC 15:30 Minister Santos Opening of Talks 15:40 Sunil Chandiramani Life with Kidney Disease 15:50 Freddy Ballester Organ Donation 16:00 Alexandra Perera Living with Cerebral Palsy 16:10 Kirstie Goodchild Taking Inspiration from Social Prescribing 16:20 Maryanne Nacimiento and Yvonne Bosano Clubhouse works! 16:30 Marie Fox Artful Remedy 16:40 Kerensa Palao An Exploration into Music Therapy 16:50 Ana Lepe Emotional Regulation in Children 17:00 Nadine Martinez Living with a Hidden Disability 17:10 Melisa Bosano How coaching can help 17:20 Dominic Francis Living with Chronic Kidney Disease 17:30 Monica Bassett Life as a carer 17:40 Kyranne Lia My Colitis and I 17:50 Charles Fa Living with a stoma 18:00 Peter Sardena Life Moving Forward with Mobility Wonderful to see our students participating in this competition and being able to enjoy their success. Well done to Kate Williamson (year 12), Beau Reyes (year 8) and Sofia Zammit (years 7).
Once again we participated in the Clean-up and focussed on the area of Catalan Bay car park. Our focus was to remove litter from the groynes and sides so as to prevent them from ending up in the sea. We also removed cigarete butts from the green verges of the carpark. It was great to see so many of our students working with their teachers, SNLSAs and technicians with the common goal of improving our town and ensuring that it is a clean environment. Congratulations to all our students! We're proud of all your achievements.
It was lovely to celebrate with our NINE Gibraltar scholars whose hard work has paid off, but it was equally lovely to see so many of you maximise your potential, whatever that may be. Remember we're available if you have queries and need support. PLEASE REACH OUT. A group of pupils and staff baked rainbow decorated cakes to sell in aid of the school charity fund. A great effort overall! Bayside staff walked to raise money for breast cancer. It was a good opportunity for team bonding and to show support for a worthy cause.
