All Hallows Catholic College Newsletter Epiphany Term Friday 17 Feb 2017
College Prayer Prayer for the beginning of Lent Gracious God, this week begins a period of inner reflection and examination. The days stretch out before us and invite us inward to that silent, holy space that holds your Spirit. This special time beckons us to see our lives through Christ's eyes and the truth and reality of your love incarnate. Give us the grace to enter the space of these days with anticipation of our meeting. And, when we open our soul to your presence, let your loving kindness flow over us and seep into the pockets of our heart. We ask this for the sake of your love. Amen. Prayer focus: Preparation for Easter
Specialism Success My Dream Job All Year 7 students enjoyed a day off timetable in January 2017 to be transported into the future imagining what their 'dream job' might be. The day started with students being introduced to the day with input from Mrs Lynch who told of her own career path and that of her father who became a professional footballer. Students were then ready to think into their own futures and imagine working in their own 'dream job'. The job had to be real, but could be anything from a bomb disposal expert to a chemical engineer to a dancer. Students researched real job descriptions, produced a CV 'looking into the future' and then an extended piece of writing imagining 'a day in the life of' their dream job. A great day and a great way to get Year 7 students thinking seriously about their future possible careers!
Visitor Speaking Today we welcomed students from across the Diocese to a science and religion day presented by Father Andrew Pinsent from Oxford University

Parents As Partners Parents are requested to remind students that they should be prepared to show their bus passes whenever they board school transport and on the request of the driver. Students must have a valid pass in order to travel. Parents are also reminded... The small number of parents who are still collecting children from the turning circle at the end of the day are once again politely requested not to do this. There is the potential for gridlock and a very small but nevertheless real risk to students if cars are moving around on the turning circle. The alternatives are the roads adjacent to the College eg Cambridge Road where parents are requested to respect the feelings of the local residents and also to not to park too close to the junction. The College has received one or two comments from residents regarding parking across driveways and even rudeness from parents. The College cannot condone such behaviour and would support members of the public who were subjected to inappropriate behaviour.
