Well-being Fridays - New for 2019!

At Haverfordwest High VC School we fully recognise the importance of looking after our emotional health and well-being. That is why, from September 2019, our pupils are being offered the opportunity to leave early on a Friday afternoon to pursue their own hobbies and interests, or to stay and participate in one of the activities we have on offer at school at the Portfield site. The activities will start at 2.00pm and run until 3.15pm.

How do I sign up?

To sign up for any of the activities on offer, you need to click on the link to the Google Form for the session you are interested in. Once you click, you will find a brief description of the activity and if you are interested in attending, complete the simple form that requires you to input your name, form class and parent contact phone number. These forms will be open from September 5th, and you will need your new @haverfordwesthigh email address to sign up.

As you can see from our activity list, numbers are limited so places will be allocated on a first come, first served basis. When you sign up, you will receive a confirmation email or a message to tell you that your chosen session is full. If your first choice session is full, just opt in to another session. It is that simple.

What commitment am I making by signing up?

Signing up means that you will have committed to attend your chosen activity for the full half term so we do expect you to attend all sessions.

We have a duty to make sure everyone is safe and accounted for at school – as a result, a weekly register will be taken by the providers. If you cannot make a session, you will need to bring a written explanation from home which needs to be presented to your Achievement Leader. This way, we will know where you are and that you are safe if you have not attended the planned activity.
