College Prayer Prayer for students recently Confirmed Creator Spirit, strengthen our students with your gifts of grace, to love and serve as disciples of Christ. Grant that they may grow into the fullness of the stature of Christ. Fill them with the joy of your presence. Increase in them the fruit of your Spirit: the spirit of wisdom and understanding, the spirit of love, patience and gentleness, the spirit of wonder and true holiness. Amen. Prayer focus: Victims of tragedies
Specialism Success Last week we welcomed our 8 students from the Schiller Gymnasium in Cologne to All Hallows as part of our exchange programme. During their stay they had the opportunity to explore Macclesfield Forest, to visit Manchester, to get a taste of Victorian life at the Heritage Centre and even work on our College farm! All students involved embraced this as an opportunity to learn new language and skills in real-life situations. We look forward to welcoming the Gymnasium back to All Hallows next year!

The Local Charity
Over the next two weeks we are working with a local charity to collect as many books as possible to be shipped to schools in Africa. If you have any reading or text books at home that you no longer need and would be useful for students aged 4-18, we would love to have them! Please drop them in reception or in the library. Thank you!

Students across Years 7 to 10 will be challenged to have 100% attendance over the next 6 weeks as well as receiving no behaviour points. Competitions like this have helped attendance to be raised in the past and the prizes always prove popular amongst students. Students will enter a prize draw for Amazon gift vouchers if they have 100% attendance and no behaviour points for the next 6 weeks up to Monday 17 July. We will have 2 prizes: 1 male student and 1 female student. Both students will win £50 worth of Amazon vouchers. Attendance matters at All Hallows and the link between attendance and achievement is well known and shared with our students. The format of the competition this year was agreed by the College Council.
