Please Support Layla

Layla Evans in Year 12 is taking part in a "Pretty Muddy 5k" as a fundraiser for Cancer research. She explains her motivation below:

Cancer is happening right now, which is why I'm taking part in a Race for Life Pretty Muddy to raise money and save lives.

When I was 5, my dad passed away from cancer, and it changed all of my family's lives. I would love to raise as much money as I can to help support cancer research and save as many lives as possible, so fewer people have to suffer, and fewer families have to lose the ones they love. Research gives families hope, and it gives people more time, more memories, and more of the moments that matter most. Thank you!

Worry doesn't change the outcome

No matter how much you worry, it will not change the outcome.

You can rehearse every possible scenario.
You can brace yourself for the worst.
You can lie awake at night trying to 'figure it all out'.
And still, what's going to happen will happen.

If worrying can't change the outcome, then you don't have to carry it.
You don't have to spend today worrying or overthinking about what might/might not be.

Worry suggests protection, but it only steals the present moment.  
Letting go of the worry doesn't mean you don't care, it means you are choosing to live instead of constantly preparing for what might go wrong.

It's scary to release control.
It's brave to sit with uncertainty.
And it's freeing to realise that you were never meant to hold it all together anyway.

Police Warning, Social Media

We have been made aware by the police about a social media trend where children from different schools are being encouraged to meet up in 'red' groups and 'blue' groups and take part in organised fights. This started in other parts of London and has now spread locally.

We have no information that this involves any BGS students, but as always, we ask that you go straight home after school.

If ever you are feeling worried or have concerns about this issue, please inform any member of staff. The police are reminding all young people that you should never carry any type of weapon or object that can be deemed as a weapon in order to help you feel safe being in your community.

Lost Property

Please may we remind parents/carers to write your child's name on all of their belongings so that we can return any lost items to them. If belongings are handed in to us, and they are named, we will contact the student directly, so please ask your child to check their school email account to see if we have messaged them. You can also click on the link here to report any lost property or email us directly via reception@bexleygs.co.uk.

Thank you
