Blue Planet – doing our ‘bit’ to help the environment

Many of you will have seen the incredible footage and scenes from ‘Blue Planet’ recently. I thought the programme was truly inspirational – especially as it tackled pollution from plastic head-on. It was terrible to see the birds and aquatic life struggling to survive due to eating plastic. We all need to play our part to help with this by making sure all our rubbish goes in the bins. If it is dropped, it can be eaten by birds which could cause them serious harm. Our College does look really good, but we can all make an extra effort here. Thank you.

Last week:

So much to update everyone on from last week....

• Well done to our Year 11 students for completing the Duke of Edinburgh Award. Great to see you receiving your certificates on Monday evening

  Really well done to all – you are doing incredibly well and we need to keep this up, please. Thank you.

   

  This week:

  There is also a lot happening this week….

• Oklahoma runs from Thursday to Saturday – please make sure you get a ticket for this show.
• Year 7 are going on the ‘Big Bang’ trip on Wednesday

   

  Helping others:

  It is really important that we make sure we help others who are less fortunate than we are. With this in mind, ‘d like to remind all Year 10 students about the foodbank competition this week. A really great cause.

   

  We also have our sponsored walk on 9^th July – please do your best to raise as much money as possible for Chestnut Tree House. I can confirm that Years 10 and 12 will do the walk on 19^th July (Thursday).
