Year 8 Personal Development Day: Be Bright, Live Right
Friday, 20th February 2026
Our Year 8 students recently took part in a Personal Development Day, Be Bright, Live Right, focused on making positive choices and building healthy habits.
Throughout the day, students took part in a range of interactive sessions exploring wellbeing, teamwork, self-belief and the importance of looking after both their physical and mental health. It was great to see them getting involved and engaging with the activities.
One of the highlights ofYear 8 Personal Development Day: Be Bright, Live Rightthe day was the School Food Showdown, delivered by The Fun Food Company. Students worked together to prepare and cook balanced dishes, learning more about nutrition in a fun and practical way.
We were also pleased to welcome Prime Music, who delivered a live performance alongside a motivational talk, encouraging students to make positive choices and believe in themselves.
To round off the day, a group of Year 8 students organised a cake sale at lunchtime to raise money for Bolton Together, showing real kindness and community spirit.
It was a really positive day and we are incredibly proud of the enthusiasm and maturity shown by our Year 8 students.
