STUDENT CONDUCT OUTSIDE OF THE COLLEGE
Parents Please Note: Student Conduct Outside of the College Following recent incidents outside College hours and in the local community, we would like to draw all parents attention to their role in ensuring children are properly supervised and behaving appropriately at ALL times. We define good behaviour as that which flows from our Christian values of honourable purpose, respect, compassion, co-operation and stewardship. Teachers have a statutory power to discipline students for misbehaving outside the school premises. Section 89(5) of the Education and Inspections Act 2006 gives the Head/Principal a specific statutory power to regulate students’ behaviour in these circumstances "to such extent as is reasonable". This college’s behaviour policy allows us to discipline a student for any misbehaviour when the child is: - Taking part in a school/college organised or school related activity - Travelling to or from school/college - Wearing school/college uniform - In some other way identifiable as a student at the school/college Or misbehaviour at any time, whether or not the conditions above apply, that: - Could have repercussions for the orderly running of the school/ college - Or poses a threat to another student or member of the public - Or could adversely affect the reputation of the school/college The college reserves the right to work with the police on such matters if necessary and sanction if required. This may include the use of detention, isolation, suspension to Cornerstone, fixed term exclusion and permanent exclusion (Extract from All Hallows Behaviour Policy)

COLLEGE PRAYER
Prayer for the end of the year O God of all beginnings and endings, we praise and thank you for the gift of this academic year. It has been a time filled with grace and blessings, and with challenges, opportunities, joys and sorrows. Give us the rest and refreshment we need this Summer. Let our efforts of this past year bear fruit. Bring all of our plans to a joyful conclusion, and bless us, according to your will, with the fulfilment of our summer hopes and dreams. Watch over us in the weeks ahead, and guide us each day. May we continue, with a new spirit and a new energy, and to grow in age, wisdom, knowledge and grace all the days of our lives. We ask this through Christ Our Lord. Amen

PARENTS AS PARTNERS: EQUIPPED FOR LEARNING
Students are generally well-equipped at All Hallows, and we would like to thank you for your continuing efforts to support your child(ren)’s studies. Why not use the summer break to make sure your children are fully equipped to come back to College in September with pen, pencil and ruler? A calculator, an angle-measurer and other geometry items are also useful, as well as a pencil sharpener and eraser. Coloured pencils are also a real bonus.
