| HALF TERM
The half term break begins after school today, Friday, 12th February. School resumes at 8.45 am on Monday 22nd February. CHARITIES WEEK Thanks to all students and staff who have put so much effort into making Charities Week a great success. The week ends today with 'Stars in Their Eyes' in the Sports Hall at lunchtime, sponsored walks and runs round the field in period 6 and with the Sixth Form 'Dormus' group involved in an overnight vigil. There will be a second performance by 'Stella Artois' at 1.00 pm in the Drama Studio on Monday 22nd February for those who were unable to get in on Monday of this week. Thanks to Mervyn Freeman of ECN for bringing the Speed Kick machine into school on Wednesday and to Bhargav, Jordan, Graham and Finn for making the arrangements. Winners in the various categories were Simon Jervis, Nicola Guffogg, David Tyrie, Sapphire Nicholls, Tom Burkett, Adam Wretham, Bhargav Trivedi, Jonathan Gordon and Robert Preston. Mr Pine made a valiant effort in his socks which was recorded at 55mph. Joseph Mantripp of Year 11 took over from Dr Elkins as Head for the Day on Wednesday, having raised sponsorship of well over £100 for the privilege: no students were excluded permanently! 'Man O Man' was presented with panache and flair and performed to a huge audience. Thanks to Peter, Jaime and the Sixth Form team who organised the show. All sorts of sales (thanks, parents, for all your efforts in making cakes and buns), competitions and smaller scale efforts have been taking place. Thanks to everyone: remember that £1 educates a child in the Congo for one year! |
