BHCS

Hi everyone, Welcome to another BHCS My World Podcast.

In this episode we get to  hear from Mrs Moore - our IT specialist in the school and she gets to discuss the dangers of  our over reliance on online relationships including social media

Some of the topics it gets us to think about are : What are the potential benefits and risks associated with internet use, in particular social networking sites?; Why might someone act out of character to increase their online popularity? What are the consequences of making online comments/posts/posting photos rather than sharing things in an off-line way?

I hope it gets you thinking a bit more about the world around you and the part you play in it

Enjoy listening.

Hi everyone, Welcome to another BHCS My World Podcast.

In this episode we get to talk to Mr Beeching,  who has a wealth of experience in supporting young people to  overcome challenges and be the very best version of themselves. 

This episode is a conversation about  different types of committed, stable relationships and how they contribute to human happiness and the importance for bringing up children. Some of the things it will get you think about are

What do we mean by human happiness?; What does a stable and healthy relationship look like?; What are the benefits of a stable long-term relationship when bringing up children? and What are the potential consequences of an unplanned pregnancy?

Enjoy listening

Hello BHCS students

I hope you are safe and well.

It is time for another MY WORLD Podcast to listen and reflect on . This week it is all about Volunteering. Did you know that during Covid 19, Within 24 hours of a governmental call for citizens to join the NHS ‘volunteer army’, 500,000 people had signed up? By early April, over 750,000 were enlisted and started undertaking tasks such as delivering medication from pharmacies, driving patients to appointments, or making regular phone calls to isolated individuals. These are ways the adults volunteered but there are also ways you as a student can volunteer.

Volunteers often claim that they get as much back from their efforts as the individuals they are supporting. Evidence also shows that volunteering also allows  people to build confidence and self-esteem and to learn new skills.

Here is a pre-recorded podcast which I have pulled out of the archives because I think its very relevant in these strange times.  Enjoy listening to year 9 Rachel and Meghan interviewing the one and only Mr Du-Heaume on the importance of volunteering

Hi everyone, welcome to another BHCS My World Podcast.

This episode is part of a collection of #Covid19, parent chats.

In these podcasts we are talking to some courageous parents so we can capture a snapshot of what lock down life has been like through their eyes. Perhaps other parents from our community are listening and what they have to say might resonate with you and you will feel you have experienced the same things.

What is really important to know is that whether you are a student, teacher, child, parent or neighbor we have all gone through a collective experience on a global scale and we are here for each other and we will prevail through these challenges.

At the bottom of this page is some web links to organisations who have put support in place for worried parents and single parents, helping us through the challenges we might face during lock down and Covid-19.

Sit back relax and enjoy listening to the lovely Jo Jupp who will be sharing her parent lock down views and experiences

Hi everyone, welcome to another BHCS My World Podcast.

This episode is part of a collection of #Covid19, student diary chats and was recorded during our May half term break.

In these student chat podcasts we are talking to some delightful young people from various year groups (many of them you might know) so we can capture a snapshot of what Lockdown life has been like through their eyes. Perhaps what they have to say might resonate with you and you will feel you have experienced the same things.

What is really important is that you all know there is always someone you can talk to and that it is good to talk if you are finding things difficult:

Remember there is always your teacher, tutor and head of year who you can email and some excellent websites which I have listed on this platform of where you can access help outside in the community

So, without further ado, sit back relax and enjoy listening to the wonderful Amber in Year 9 who will be sharing her lockdown views and experiences

Hello everyone and welcome to another My World podcast.

 I hope you are all keeping well and safe. 

Being cut off from family, friends and communities because of the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic is difficult for everyone, but especially for families who are grieving for a loved one. Losing someone important to you is one of the hardest things to experience in life. But we want you to know support and advice are available to help you get through it, here at your school there are people trained and ready to listen and outside in the community This is why I thought this pre-recorded podcast - recorded earlier this year would be very relevant for us all to listen to now. 

Sit back and listen to the excellent advice being shared.

Take care

A delightful podcast with the inimitable Mr Penney talking  pigeons, bird feeders, gardening and haircuts! You have to listen to it to believe it :) This podcast was a bit late being published but better late than never.

Stay Safe wonderful people
