for Fairtrade Fortnight, God of solidarity, You entrusted the earth and its resources to the stewardship of humankind. Yet the goods of creation, destined for the whole human race, are enjoyed by a privileged few. For the producers of our consumer goods there are no privileges; just working long hours for little pay. For us, who benefit from unfair trade, we take for granted the toils of men and women who maintain our standard of living. Inspired by Jesus who brought good news to the poor, show us how we may stand in solidarity with people who suffer through unjust trading rules. May they soon experience the joy of the vineyard workers who were called to be the first among the last, and were included as equal inheritors of your kingdom. We ask this through Christ our Lord. Amen. PARENTS AS PARTNERS: MOBILE TELEPHONES Parents and students are reminded that all students’ mobile ‘phones must be switched off between 8:55am and 3:15pm and not be used for any reason during the day. Failure to comply with this rule may result in items being confiscated which will have to be collected from College by a parent. If a student is ill and uses the ‘sick room’, then the office staff must contact home, not the student on their mobile ‘phone. Thank you for your on-going support with this matter.

Year 7 students starting their enterprise programme of study produced a range of products including beautiful heart shaped decorations, hand-made scented gifts and cakes decorated with marshmallows and hearts. Year 8 Young Co-operatives really 'rose' to the challenge of making the most of the Valentine market. One group spent weeks making batches of red, heat shaped candles, melting wax and setting wicks in moulds. All these enterprising activities in The BITE Faculty will raise funds for The India Clinic Appeal.
