How do you feel about school?

We want to hear from you, on what you feel about school. We are trying to see what makes different people do well in school.
So if you are a pupil at Greendown or even a member of staff then please send us in a email on the the G-Mag email Gmag@live.co.uk or by a comment. We want to know how you feel, and if you don't feel good in school or you don't feel safe in schoool. We will do something about it because we believe although we come here to learn we must feel good about our selfs and also we must feel safe. So please get in touch we want to here from you! :)

Thank you :)

Want to become a member of the team?

As many of you know, its going to be coming to the end of the school year soon. Although many of you are happy and your counting down the days un-till you leave. Here at G-Mag we are happy too! and we can't wait to get the summer off. However once the summer holidays start, we lose 5 very important people to our team. Even though some of these roles will be filled within house. We are now wanting to look for New Reporters, New Sports Reporters and New everything!
This is were we are looking to get more people from school involved because as many of you know now G-Mag will be spreading it's wings around the school and also in the community.

So if you want to be apart of this, then please email Gmag@live.co.uk Or Carneybonner@hotmail.com
Thank you very much

Have a great day tomorrow and remember to watch children in need as it is going to be a bang. :)

Our school kitchen

We as a team would like to say a big thank you to our staff in the kitchen. This is because day in and day out they do a amazing job and they have never been thanked. We have had, a year 7 parent's evening tonight and the kitchen have been offering free samples and the food has been amazing. We feel that the school as a whoole don't give the kitchen enough support. We think that it is time to make a change, a change that will put our great kitchen back on top. We feel that as a school it is time to "think of the other person" this is something that our school, stands by so lets follow by their example and start thinking about the kitchen. So we call that on Friday we should all buy a hot meal, and you will see how great the food is.

So lets start to supporting our kitchen and make a difference. Lets make 2009 our best year yet. Thank you.
