  • Co-op Academy Belle Vue Ends the Term with Festive Rewards Day Celebration

    Published 20/12/24

    On the final day of term, students at Co-op Academy Belle Vue enjoyed a festive and memorable Rewards Day packed with activities, prizes, and celebrations to mark their achievements this term.

    The day began with the much-anticipated whole-school Golden Ticket Raffle, where students entered their golden tickets—earned through outstanding effort and behaviour—into a draw for the chance to win prizes worth over £2,000. The excitement was palpable as winners were announced, with prizes ranging from gift vouchers to tech gadgets.

    Next, form groups went head-to-head in the Big Belle Vue Christmas Quiz of the Year. Packed with festive trivia and challenges, the quiz sparked team spirit and healthy competition, with the winning form receiving a special prize.

    Students then gathered for a Christmas Community Lunch, complete with a full traditional Christmas dinner provided by the academy's talented catering team. Crackers, jokes, and plenty of festive cheer created a warm and inclusive atmosphere as everyone came together to celebrate the end of the term.

    Adding a touch of magic to the day, students were treated to a mesmerising performance by Joe the Magician, whose dazzling card tricks left the audience amazed and entertained.

    The day concluded with a whole-school reflection to recognise the achievements and hard work of students throughout the term. Highlights included the draw of five winners from the Standards Card Prize Draw, where blank standards cards earned students a chance to win an exciting trip next term. The final moment of anticipation was the announcement of the winner of the 40-inch TV for maintaining 100% attendance during the final week of term—congratulations to Eyad in Year 7!

    The Rewards Day perfectly captured the spirit of Co-op Academy Belle Vue, celebrating the CARE principles and fostering a sense of community, achievement, and enjoyment. It was a fantastic way to close the term and set the tone for continued success in the new year.

    We wish all our students, families, and staff a restful and joyous holiday season! See you in the new term!
