Michaelmas
COLLEGE PRAYER European Day of Languages (September 26) In nomine patris, et filii, et spiritus sancti. Pater noster qui es in caelis, sanctificetur nomen tuum. adveniat regnum tuum. fiat voluntas tua, sicut in caelo et in terra.. panem nostrum quotidianum da nobis hodie, et dimitte nobis debita nostra sicut et nos dimittimus debitoribus nostris. et ne nos inducas in tentationem, sed libera nos a malo. Amen.
SPECIALISM SUCCESS Congratulations to Y12 Business student James Bradbury who has been appointed Go Shop Manager. James has already successfully recruited a team of willing volunteers to run Go Shop under his watchful eye. Students from Year 8 and The Sixth Form have been inducted and trained in retail procedure and now open the shop each break and lunch time. Go Shop sells a wide range of stationery products including plastic covers for The College's new exercise books. The shop also provides a home for lost property making it easy for students to look for items they may have lost. Year 13 Business student Conor Proudman has also produced a facebook page for Go Shop. You can 'like' it by searching www.facebook.com/pages/Go-Shop.
PARENTS OF PARTNERS—”KILT?BLAZER EXCHANGE Do you have a college kilt or blazer that your child no longer needs? If so would you be able to send it into college so we can start a “Kilt/Blazer Exchange”. We are hoping to get this up and running as soon as possible and would greatly appreciate a “starting stock”. For every kilt donated we will credit your child's meal account with £2 Many thanks ECO FACT By trapping air in gap between two panes of glass, double-glazing creates an insulating barrier heat reduces noise, condensation and cuts heat loss through the windows by 50%. Best of all, it could shave up to £40 off your annual heating bills. YEAR 5/6 OPEN MORNINGS AND SIXTH FORM OPEN EVENING Open Morning - 23 September 9:30am until 11:00am Open Morning - 30 September 9:30am until 11:00am Open Morning - 7 October 9:30am until 11:00am Sixth Form Open Evening - 23 October 7:00pm until 9:00pm PROCEDURES FOR A MEDICAL APPOINTMENT DURING THE COLLEGE DAY Students must sign out at the Attendance Office before leaving College to attend a medical appointment. When they return to College the student must sign back in. This ensures registers will be accurate and we know the student is off site should we have a fire alarm. The Attendance Office is currently located along the Science corridor, but will shortly be moving to a new space along the RE corridor. We thank parents for making medical appointments, where possible, that do not take up a whole day of schooling. This often allows a student to have their legal registration mark for both a.m and p.m sessions and so their overall attendance does not fall.
