PRAYER AN IRISH PRAYER May God give you. For every storm, a rainbow, For every tear, a smile, For every care, a promise, And a blessing in each trial. For every problem life sends, A faithful friend to share, For every sigh, a sweet song, And an answer for each prayer. Amen.

All three faced their final assessment this half term and have passed with flying colours. This represents a tremendous amount of hard work by the trainees who have spent all year gathering evidence and developing their practice. They will be a credit to the profession and all three have secured positions for next year. Mr Bridge will be teaching in Austria, Miss Kraehenbuehl in Telford and Miss Lu in Manchester. PARENTS AS PARTNERS - STAYING HEALTHY During the College day it is important that students remain hydrated. Plain water in clear plastic bottles is allowed in class. These can be topped up at the water fountain in the canteen. Fruit juices and squash may be brought into College for drinking before College, at break, lunch or after College. No cans or any kind of carbonated drinks are allowed at any time during the College day or in afterCollege clubs. These, when found, will be confiscated. OUR NEW EMAIL HELP SERVICE — ”BEING ME” For many years our College has had an email address called bullying@allhallowslearning.org.uk for students and parents to report bullying issues if required. Some students may experience other difficulties that also require some help and support, but are not bullying issues as such. These difficulties may be connected to something that is going on in their life at present, or something they are struggling to deal with. For this reason the College has set up another confidential email address called beingme@allhallowslearning.org.uk for students to use should they find themselves in need of help, support and guidance. Emails will be read by a senior member of staff who will then seek out other staff volunteers (we have 17 of them) to offer the help and support that is required.
