Thank you to the many members of the school community who supported last Friday’s MacMillan Coffee Morning. Under the current circumstances we were unable to host the event in the Hall, but across the school site in the various year group bubbles staff and students came together, but at a distance, and enjoyed a slice of cake and a morning cup of coffee. In total we raised £680, which is a fantastic sum considering the situation we were in. Thank you.
Congratulations to
the many year 11 students who completed the Bronze Duke of Edinburgh expedition
over the weekend. The weather on Friday
would have certainly been an element to deal with (!), but knowing the
students, they would have not let that deter from their enjoyment. Thank you to Ms Adams and Ms Alloy for coordinating
the entire programme, and to the other members of staff who gave up their
weekend to supervise.
Tomorrow is the
School’s first charity day. Again, under
the current circumstances, we cannot run our charity days in the way that we
would like, but hopefully we can raise awareness and money in support of
Childhood Cancer Awareness Month. Thank
you to the staff and students for organising the day.
Finally, I wish to
acknowledge and thank the 52 year 12 students who have stepped forward to
support the School in the absence of Year 13.
With Year 13 needing to self-isolate at home we are currently without
the entire prefect team. The prefects
play a number of different roles across the school, and the month of October is
always a busy one for them. These 52
students have illustrated once more how many of our students feel about their
school and how they wish to support their peers. Thank you so much to them.
