Last month, you might have read in the Chronicle about a competition that was taking place around Leeds. This competition was part of the ‘Welcome Back To Leeds Project’ which asked young people to make a creative piece based around the theme of welcoming everyone back into the city after lockdown.

The idea came about because so many people had been making the most of lockdown to develop their creative side and this project was to celebrate this.

Lots of young people around the city entered into this competition but it was eventually whittled down to three, including our Year 10 student ZN (TR4) who won second place.

Well done!

This is what the creators of the project had to say about ZN’s piece: “ZN's work was by far the most handcrafted piece we had submitted. We all really loved not only the design but also the message that it portrayed without the use of any words at all. We loved the idea so much, we have invited ZN to be a collaborator on the final campaign, so well done ZN.”

Hello Bremner,

It seems like ages since I have seen you all and I cannot believe that I am now writing this as we are breaking up for the summer holidays. Where has the time gone?! It seems like five minutes ago that I was saying hello to the new Year 7 and welcoming them into our House – the best House of course- and now they are about to become Year 8.

As I reflect on the strange year that we have just had, I remember lots of great things that were happening in Bremner House. What do you remember? Can you remember that the Chronicle was often Blue, meaning that you had achieved the most epraise points over the two weeks for showing PRIME qualities, your school attendance, work and attendance at FLP. I remember the competitions that we had: the literacy competition where we came second, the Wetherby High School Bake Off, where we also came second and then the trampolining and the DT ones (make the fastest car competition),

where we came first in both. Some great achievements by you all. There were some other great competitions planned to include Sports Day and Challenge Day, that have sadly not taken place but are all things to look forward to in the future.

This year may seem strange to all of us but it must be especially strange to our Year 11 and 13’s who were working so hard in their build up to their exams, and then within a week, schools were closed and their exams were stopped and they had officially left school. It happened all so fast, that we never really had a chance to say thank you for all the work and support that they had given Bremner over the past 5 or 7 years and to wish them

good luck in whatever they go on to do in the future but, hopefully, they are reading this now so THANK YOU AND GOOD LUCK!

As I write this, I am not sure what September will look like but I do know that I am looking forward to you all being back in school and a time when we can meet again as a House and start our new campaign to win back the Wetherby High School House trophy. Have a lovely summer holiday- hopefully, the sun will come back for us (its raining and cold as I am writing this) - and stay safe.

Hello Trueman House,

It is fair to say that this year has been surreal and extremely interesting with lots of emotions. This final summer term has been tough as we have missed Sports Day, Challenge Day and would have spent time acknowledging and celebrating your achievements at Merit Day.

Over the last few months, we have managed to learn lots about ourselves, we have developed passions and likes for new things, attempted and succeeded with new hobbies and activities, witnessed changes around the local community and come together to celebrate and acknowledge the amazing work NHS staff and keyworkers have done.

Before lockdown Trueman House had some excellent representatives within the House competitions, demonstrating the talents among the House. Our students did well with the Wetherby Bake Off, were great in the Trampolining competition, amazing in DT and English competitions and great athletes at Winter Sports Day. We also had lots of talent young people try out for the Talent Show. Hopefully next year we can demonstrate these talents again.

My final message of this year is a massive thank you to you all for working hard, a well done for helping and supporting each other through unprecedented times and a final goodbye to the Year 11 cohort – well done with everything you have achieved at WHS and good luck come August when you get your GCSE results and keep working hard in your future endeavours.

Enjoy the summer and keep safe. I look forward to seeing you in September.

Mr Keen

Hello Robinson House,

Well after a very, very strange couple of months we are finally here! Under normal circumstances, we would be on the field celebrating Sports Day, which we WON last year, running around school in our coaching groups for Challenge Day, which we also WON last year and awarding our fantastic students for all their hard work at the final merit assembly. We have had a very memorable year welcoming our Year 7 students who won the indoor athletics House competition, which feels like years ago now and we also won the KS3 cooking competition! Our Vice Captains have done a brilliant job always making sure Robinson House was well represented in the competitions, well done and thank you to you all.

I want to take this opportunity to thank you for all your hard work over the last couple of months. As a House, you have all shown incredible motivation and independence completing your home learning to such a high standard! I have had fantastic feedback from staff about Robinson students submitting outstanding work throughout lockdown and I hope you are as proud of yourselves as I am.

Additionally, there are many students who have leant new skills and hobbies such as cooking, baking and being creative! These are skills you can develop and use in different times of your lives.It’s been wonderful to see some faces in school over the past weeks and I can’t wait to see everyone when we return. We now say goodbye to our Year 13 and Year 11 students who have been a part of Robinson House for a long time! These students now move onto doing work, Sixth Form, College or University which is very exciting and we as a House wish you all the best!

Enjoy it as much as you can and do not be strangers to Wetherby High School, we would love to hear how you get on.

As we all know, we are in a very different time and we are unable to join together to celebrate the end of the year together. It is not only you as students who have all worked so hard and done your best in these difficult times, your Coaches have also been fantastic by supporting and guiding you! I want to thank them for everything as well!

This is all from me now, I hope you all have a wonderful summer and take some time to rest and enjoy the holidays.

Please remember to stay safe and I look forward to seeing you all in September where we welcome our new Year 7 students!

Take care.

Hi everyone,

Unbelievably, we have reached the final week of the school year. How did that happen? It seems like only a few weeks ago we were all looking forward to the Easter holidays! It has now been more than 100 days since some of you have been in school; when you hear it in those terms it does seem a long time - it is more than a quarter of a year! Sadly, Liverpool are the Premier League Champions and it looks like Leeds Utd will be promoted also. Chase, Mr Hudson and Miss Dunn will be delighted. I take heart from the fact that Mr King’s West Ham are putting up a good fight to play top flight football next season and Man Utd are really finishing the season strongly- Bruno Fernandez looks to be a brilliant signing.

The lockdown has deprived us of sharing so many great days together such as Challenge Day, Sports Day and our end of year Merit Assembly but we will be back next year with even more reason to celebrate our successes. From a Tomlinson perspective, even though we didn’t get to finish the year the way we might have wanted, it has still been a very memorable year for the House. Starting with our victory in the Year 7 Sports Day, we have had some incredible highs this year. I was immensely proud of how you all pulled together as a House to support the students in Smutsville. To collect in excess of ten thousand pencils for a charity that gives students the opportunity to go to school is a remarkably kind and generous act, one that each and every member of the House should rightly be proud of. The attitude to competitions has been brilliant this year and our House Captain and Vice-Captains have done a great job of ensuring that Tomlinson were always competitive. Regardless of the type of competition, Tomlinson have always been strong. The Winter Sports Day Teams, the Trampoline teams and the victories at both the Key Stage 3 and Key Stage 4 Quizzes hosted by Mr Jarman were superb! I have never seen a quiz team get 100% before, but to do it twice was incredible, well done to everyone involved.

It is this relentless pursuit of excellence and the willingness to have a go at anything you encounter that has seen us stay in contention for the House trophy. Mr King will announce the winner shortly, let’s hope the trophy is going green this year!

Although our year in school ended prematurely, the learning has continued at pace in your own homes. The motivation and resilience shown by you has been great and has allowed you to make progress in your learning even though you have not been in school. I have heard countless stories from coaches who proudly tell me of the accomplishments of all their coachees. Coachees have learned new skills from carpentry to baking, from electrical work to coding; your efforts and enthusiasm has been amazing. Well done for keeping your learning going throughout the lockdown and showing how dynamic and creative you can be in overcoming new and increasingly difficult challenges. These new skills and the work ethic you showed in developing them will ensure that no matter what obstacles you face in the future, you will overcome them.

Unfortunately, nothing lasts forever (except being a ‘Tomlinite’, once you’re in the House, you’re Tomlinson for life) and so we have to bid a fond

farewell to our Year 13 and Year 11 coachees. You have been an integral part of making Tomlinson such a special place for everyone in the House and for that we can never thank you enough. You move on now to either sixth form, college, university or work and I know everyone in the House joins me in wishing you the very best of luck in the next stage of your journey in life. Wherever you go and whatever you do, you will always be Tomlinson and have a place at Wetherby High School so don’t forget us when you become rich and famous.

Well that’s about it from me for this year. We’ve done well, we’ve worked hard, we’ve done our best and delivered under pressure. You should all be very proud of everything that we have achieved this year. Your coaches have expertly supported and guided you through some very challenging events but as young people you have shown a strength of character and resilience that has amazed me because I honestly don’t think I could have done what you have achieved. You are a wonderful group of people and I look forward to seeing you all in September. Have a great summer and take care of yourselves and your families. Stay safe and bye for now.

Former student says hiIt’s always nice to hear from former students of Wetherby High. Lili J recently got into contact with Mr Wilkinson and told him how the skills she learnt in Art class helped her creativity flourish after high school leading her to set up her own online shop selling handmade stickers, first on Instagram and then, when it became more popular, on Etsy. Check it out!

Design and TechnologyStudents were asked to identify a problem at home and then design a product that could help solve that problem. Some students focussed on storage, others looked at things like gardening.

Great work by all those involved.

1 Check in on any neighbours, especially neighbours who live alone. Speak to them through the window or stand at the end of the drive. Just a chat might cheer someone up who hasn’t spoken to anyone for a few days.

2 Draw pictures and write letters to local seniors in nursing homes who can’t have visitors at this time.

SUPPORTING OUR COMMUNITIES DURING COVID-19

3 Be kind to staff working in shops. They’re working hard, waiting for food delivery trucks and stocking the shelves as quickly as possible. Plus, they also have families and personal stresses of their own. A smile, some patience and a thank you can go a long way.

4 Sort through your books, games and clothes to see what can be donated to charity. Currently charity shops aren’t open but they will be grateful for donations when they are able to reopen again.

5 Many have taken it upon themselves to send messages of hope and positivity to others, with children across the country painting rainbows to put up in their windows.

Draw or paint your own and put it up in your front window. We would love to see your pictures, email your rainbows to your coach.

The most important thing you can do to fight coronavirus is stay at home as much as possible. This will protect the NHS and save lives.

However there are still things that you can do to help others whilst we are doing this.

Here is a list of things you can do in your community:

How to help yourself and others during Coronavirus (COVID-19)

A T A G L A N C E / T H E C O A C H I N G C H R O N I C L E A T H O M E / I S S U E 0 810

Manchester has a proud history of solidarity – of standing up for those who need help. From Peterloo to the Pankhursts, the city gives a voice to the voiceless. People from Manchester have always stuck together, they know the power of community and know that, as Mancunians, they have far more in common than that which divides them.

The Manchester of today is no exception. Under pressure, they pull together. We Love MCR works with some of our most vulnerable people and most ambitious Communities - to help them to write Manchester’s next chapter.

We know too well the problems that face us. One in three of our children live in poverty, and one in ten Mancunians have no GCSE qualifications.

We love Manchester aims to address these challenges - by offering ways to spread opportunities and to help Communities to build themselves up. A little money really can go a long way when it is used properly.

One of the greatest challenges is raising this capital so that the lives of Manchester’s most vulnerable families can be transformed.

Sadly, this year all of the major fundraising events that charities use to support themselves such as The Manchester Marathon, The Greater Manchester Swim and The Greater Manchester 10k have all had to be cancelled due to COVID19.

To combat this loss of funding We Love Manchester has set up a fund to help support communities who may be struggling. Groups such as HUT Group, Savannah Wilson Foundation and many others are working hard to support communities who are suffering. However, these organisations need money to continue to do their great work.

One of the main ideas created to help support these struggling charities is the 2.6 Challenge.

The idea of 2.6 comes from the length of a marathon which is 26.2 miles. Challenges such as the 2.6 challenge are an excellent way that anyone can support a struggling charity and try to help them make up the shortfall in their income. Why not get involved, be as creative as you like and the challenge can be as hard or as easy as you want it to be. You can do it yourself or challenge someone else.

There’s a wide range of challenges being taken up so far, from a sausage dog who’s going to collect a ball 26 times (who’s already raised more than £1,000 for Oxfam), to running a 26-question quiz. One little boy is scooting 2.6km while another participant is learning 26 songs on the accordion. Why not have a go and maybe raise some money for a local charity at the same time? It’s really simple, just think of something associated with 2.6, 26 or 26.2!

You can even tweet your challenge using #2.6Challenge.

Good luck and we look forward to hearing all about your challenges.

Health & Wellbeing

What is mental wellbeing?Your mental wellbeing is about how you're feeling right now, and how well you can cope with daily life. Our wellbeing can change from moment to moment, day to day, or month to month.

Sometimes it changes because of things that happen to us and sometimes it changes for no reason at all. It can affect the way we feel about ourselves and others, and about the things we face in our lives.

Why is my wellbeing important?Having good wellbeing can help you to:

• Feel and express a range of emotions

• have confidence and positive self- esteem

• have good relationships with others

• cope with stress and adapt when things change.

Good wellbeing doesn't mean you'll always be happy. It's normal to feel sad, angry, or low sometimes. But if you have poor wellbeing for a long time you might start to find things more difficult to cope with.

What can affect my wellbeing?We're all different, so what affects your wellbeing may not be the same for somebody else. But some common things are:

• Difficult or stressful life events

• Your relationships with the people around you

• The care and support you get at home and school

• Your physical health – how much sleep you get, what you eat and drink, if you take drugs or alcohol, and if you have any health problems

• Your environment – housing conditions, how you are treated by others, money problems

You may experience difficulties in one or more of these areas, or even experience problems not listed here. That's okay. Everyone is different.

How can I look after my wellbeing?However your wellbeing is at the moment, there are things you can do to look after and improve it.Here are our top tips to look after your wellbeing:

• Get creative and or learn something new

• Be active and eat healthily

• Get enough sleep

• Help others

• Do things you enjoy and things to help you relax

• Connect with others

If you want to speak to anyone about anything to do with this, please do contact your coach.

Other great ways to receive help are through:Kooth.com (online space to talk confidentially). Mindmate.com (for lots of helpful resources to help you and friends).

CAREERSTRENDING IN 2020

10. PLUMBERSAs long as there are buildings and sewer systems, industrial piping systems, home, and business plumbing systems and municipal water and sewer infrastructures there will be a need for plumbers, steamfitters and pipefitters. This is an industry that is expected to grow by 75,200 new positions in the near future. The only education requirement is a secondary school diploma or the equivalent and specific training and certification in the chosen area of practice, which in many cases, can be learned on the job as a plumber in training.

9. CONSTRUCTION MANAGERSWith a steadily growing population in the world, there is consistently a need for new construction to take place. Both residential, business and commercial growth means that new building projects will commence. It is estimated that there will be an increase in the number of new positions for Construction managers that will exceed 44,000 in the near future. A bachelor’s degree is generally required in business management with some construction experience on the side. The average earnings per year are around £73,000.

Looking at your options for future careers? Many of you are being encouraged to pursue your dreams, but to add complexity to the things you really enjoy, with a realistic view of what will be available in the future job market, is important!

Forecasts rely upon statistical data and common trends to work out which career paths will have the highest number of openings. With technology in high demand, many of the jobs which were popular in the past are now being phased out and replaced with technology; roles that were once done by hand.

H E R E A R E T H E TO P 1 0 M O S T I N - D E M A N D J O B S I N 2 0 2 0

8. WHOLESALE AND MANUFACTURING SALESIt’s estimated that there will be over 75,000 new positions opening for wholesale and manufacturing sales representatives. With commerce picking up at a steady rate (pre-lock down). It is estimated that around 76,000 new positions will be opening between now and 2026. The average annual salary for experienced sales representatives past the entry-level is £45,000 per year. In most cases, the only educational requirements are a College Certificate or the equivalent, and training provided by the hiring company.

7. SECONDARY SCHOOL TEACHERSSecondary school teachers are in high demand as there is a serious lack of them available for the education system. It’s estimated that around 77,000 new positions will be available in the near future. Some school districts are so desperate for staff members that they are willing to employ those with a bachelor’s degree and allow them to work on gaining their teaching certificates while on the job. The average annual income for this position is around £44,000 per year, but some specialised positions pay a

lot more. One of the reasons why there are so many teaching jobs open is that the profession requires ongoing education at the expense of the teacher, and public school politics is listed as another factor that discourages some new teachers from continuing on in this career path. It’s a challenging job, and more people are needed to fill the gaps.

6. HEAVY DUTY DRIVERSThe truck-driving profession is one that has always been in high demand, but never as much as now. It’s estimated that there is going to be room for nearly 110,000 new positions in the next few years. On average, truck drivers working for a trucking company earn roughly £34,000 per year.

5. F IRST-LINE SUPERVISORS OF CONSTRUCTION TRADESIn addition to high demand for construction, managers are a need for more people to fill the position of first-line supervisors. It’s estimated that there will be just under 76,000 new openings by 2026 for people qualified for this trade. The annual earnings potential is estimated at £52,000 per year.

A College certificate or equivalent is generally required along with experience in the construction industry, preferably, as a worker prior to being advanced to a supervisor.

4. SERVICE SALES REPRESENTATIVESWith the service industry booming and new companies starting up left and right, there is a growing need for service sales representatives. This is one of the ways that service providers spread the word about the products and services that they have to offer. In most cases, a College certificate or equivalent is all the education that is required, as most companies train their services sales representatives in-house. On average, the annual salary is around £42,000. It is estimated that the number of jobs in this area will rise to 94,900 new openings by 2026.

3. ACCOUNTANTS AND AUDITORSBig business is on the rise and whether its eCommerce or brick and mortar businesses there will always be a need for financial accounting. This is a field that has recently experienced an increase in the number of jobs being advertised by nearly 22%. This also includes auditors who review business financials and forensic accounting which goes more in-depth.

2. COLLEGE AND UNIVERSITY TEACHERS WITH A DOCTORATE DEGREEThere has been an increase in the demand for post-secondary instructors who possess a doctoral degree. There are many adjunct professors who teach a stray course here and there, but universities and colleges value a doctoral degree as it makes the employee more capable of fulfilling not only the role of an instructor but also some administrative roles. The demand for these professionals has increased by 15% over the past few years.

Because of the cost of post-graduate education, many academics are opting to forego the doctoral degree. The most in-demand academic doctoral requiring posts are in the IT or Information Technology discipline, in Accounting and in Healthcare.

1. AEROSPACE MANUFACTURING JOBSThe aerospace industry is positively booming and there is an increase in the need for skilled and professional workers in this industry.

As technology continues to advance, so will the number of job openings in the industry. Space exploration and aerospace business ventures are increasing in numbers. There are fourteen major employers in the aerospace industry currently.

These include Lockheed Martin, UTC Aerospace Systems, Northrop Grumman, Pratt & Whitney, Parker Hannifin Corporation, Raytheon, UTC Climate Controls & Security, GKN Aerospace, Honeywell, SpaceX, Aerojet Rocketdyne, Planetary Resources, The Aerospace Corporation, and Orbital ATK.

We can thank geniuses like Elon Musk and Richard Branson for their daring ventures to take paying passengers into outer space aboard recreational shuttles. There’s a race taking place right now to be the first to accomplish this feat.

Engineers, mechanics, flight specialists, technicians, and many other positions within the industry are going to open up within a year or two.

ECONOMIC WELLBEING

• What is a recession?

• How has the government helped people who have been struggling financially whilst in lockdown?

Questions

The UK economy has been doing substantially well in recent years after a massive economic decline in 2008 where we entered a recession. However, since covid-19 has meant that businesses have had to close, the UK is set to enter a recent for a large number of years along with various other countries. So, what is a recession? How might an economic downturn affect you, your families and the surrounding area? How can you ensure your own economic wellbeing?

A recession is where the economy experiences negative economic growth for two consecutive quarters in the year. Put simply, the economy is not making as much money as it previously was and so it has been reported to be shrinking for the past 6 months. A recession is commonly seen as being a bad situation to be in because if the economy isn’t growing, businesses aren’t able to grow and could actually shrink which will affect the amount of jobs available and spending. Where the recession would be different this time is that there is going to be a massive global recession, especially since China has reported negative growth for the first time in years after having a massive rise in their economy.

The recession has been caused by COVID-19 due to the fact that businesses had to shut. This meant that no money was coming into the business and so this affected suppliers who also had no money coming in and therefore employees were made redundant. If people don’t have a job, they tend not to have any income coming in or they have a small amount handed to them by the government. This means that spending again doesn’t happen as people don’t have any money and it leads to a downward spiral. The government however stepped in at the start of the lockdown and announced that if businesses were to furlough their workers, then they would cover 80% of their wages up to a value of £2,500 per month.

What this means is that the workers are needed by the business, but the business cannot afford to pay them and so because of that the workers are not allowed to

do any work for the business during this time except admin work and instead they will receive 80% of their wage. This gave employees reassurance. Along with this, banks and other lending companies delayed all their repayments so that people that were noticing a fall in their income did not have to worry about meeting any deadlines and debts to again ease the pressure on them.

This however, has come at a great cost for the UK economy. This is because the government gets their money from UK tax payers. They then use this money to pay for the NHS, education, defence and various other public goods. With more people leaving the government’s money pot then coming in as businesses are not as profitable so corporation tax is lower and also employees have lower wages so income tax is lower, this has meant that the government has been spending more money than what has come in. These leads to billions of pounds worth of debt. The only way that this situation can be resolved is if cut backs are made in the future so that more money comes in then leaves the economy and this debt can be paid. So how might this affect your economic wellbeing? For a start, this is an issue for the whole of the UK economy and for many economies across the world. This means it is not something you should worry about as an individual. What we may see after the lockdown and the pandemic is that some businesses may change how they operate. There will be rise in the number of people working from home, and some smaller businesses may not reopen. However, some new businesses such as takeaway food and delivery companies may actually open up more. This means that there may be a change in the jobs which are available – but there will still be jobs. The government as well will continue to ensure that everyone is able to live a decent standard of living, however what they may do to reduce their spending is hold back on other spending plans which aren’t as necessary such as building brand new schools or fixing certain roads.

Finally, what can you do to help? The simple answer is to stay safe and stay inside and alert. This is something that won’t be new to you however it is being said as it will help individual economic wellbeing as well as total well-being in the UK. This is because if there are fewer people catching the coronavirus then businesses can continue to remain open, as opposed to enter another lock down, and it also reduces the strain on the NHS which is extremely costly at the moment in time.
