"The Art of Being Brilliant" Seminar

On Wednesday 1st May 2013 our school hosted the "The Art of Being Brilliant" and because we are Digital Leaders we were identified as leaders in the school and selected to take part in the seminar.
Andy Cope who was leading the event has been doing these seminars in schools across the country and to big companies as well, such as Ikea, and Toshiba.
Throughout the day we learnt about how to think positively and how to use our happiness to influence othere people, and make them feel the same way. It was a great day and we all learnt a lot about how to be more positive and happy. We are all trying to put what we learnt into practise now, and give the Arden Digital Leaders a good image.

On Tuesday in the last week of April Will Davison and Matt Best visited Miss Brennon to teach her about Prezi. She strugled at first to understand but caught on very quickly. A follow-up will be aranged soon.

We are recruiting...

E Safety Assemblies

Our E Safety assemblies went really well! We presented to every year in school. We made some videos to back up our presentations; the links are at the bottom of this post. On Monday, we gave our first presentation to the Sixth Formers. We were nervous at first, because we didn't know how they would receive our presentation, but they laughed at the jokes and seemed to be interested in what we had to say. It went well, and we were proud of our efforts. The next day, Tuesday, we were presenting to the Year 10's and 11's. We were particularly nervous, as it was the first time we would be presenting with our script. I think it went well, and the videos played seemed to have the desired effect. The last assembly, on the Wednesday morning, was to the Year 7's, 8's and fellow Year 9's! The previous assemblies had been in the school hall, but for this special assembly involving 3 years, we presented in the larger sports hall. This time, Megan introduced the assembly and we all stood up and said our pieces. At the end, I was so relieved it had been done, but I was glad I'd done it. We all really enjoyed the experience and it helped build up our leadership skills. It was a chance to show the school how proud we felt to be Digital Leaders and to show them the skills we were building up by being one.
