INTERNET SAFETY DAY 2019
On 4th February 2019, The Beacon Centre Secondary Pupils participated in Internet Safety Day where they learned about how to use the internet safely.
The pupils each produced a poster which was entered into a school competition. A pupil from year 9 and a pupil from year 11 won the competition for the best posters and were given a certificate and prize from our ICT Teacher, Ms Goodrich. The posters are now up on the school display for all to see as a resource to remind pupils of the importance of using the internet safely.

All of the staff at The Beacon Centre hope you had a relaxing half term and are ready for school.
Key Thoughts:
The past was preparation, the future is a dream. It’s the present that counts. Live and learn passionately starting today.
‘Believe in yourself, perceive the lessons around you, receive knowledge with joy, and you will achieve anything you set your mind to.’
Thank you for a lovely half term. We hope you enjoy your week off.
From all of the staff at The Beacon Centre.
