ECO FACT UK households use £1.2 billion worth of electricity on refrigeration every year. To help cut costs don’t leave the door open any longer than is necessary as cold air will escape. Avoid putting hot food into the fridge, defrost the freezer regularly to keep it running efficiently and economically, and check the door seals are working properly. If it is absolutely necessary to put your fridge or freezer next to a cooker or boiler, leave a good gap between them.
PARENTS AS PARTNERS: STAYING HEALTHY Only plain water in clear plastic bottles is allowed in class. 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 after-College clubs. These, when found, will be confiscated.

SPECIALISM SUCCESS OF THE WEEK Two Year 9 teams, 'Fruit-ega' and 'The Bee Sting', formed in a BITE enrichment activity competed in the first round of an enterprise project this week sponsored by Coca Cola. Both teams presented very strong presentations in an bid to get through to the next round of the competition. Each presentation had it's own strengths and it was one of our College's core values that solved the problem of which team should go through.... 'neither'..... the solution was to combine both ideas and for team members to 'co-operate' in creating an idea that drew on the strengths of both presentations. The result was a healthy fruit drink called 'The Sting', a silk, smooth drink with a 'chilli' kick. The students must now wait for news from Coca Cola to see if their idea is a winner.
