LOST PROPERTY PRAYER FOR THE WEEK Prayer of Remembrance We remember those who made the great sacrifice during the two World Wars; We remember those who have given their lives in the service of their country in other conflicts; We pray for those who suffer at this time; We pray for those who have been bereaved; We pray for peace; We pray that we may be worthy of the sacrifice made on our behalf. We ask this through Christ our Lord. Amen.

SPECIALIST SUCCESS OF THE WEEK Many thanks to all the students who represented the College at the Sixth Form Open Evening. All the students spoke confidently and eloquently about their passion for learning. Their enthusiasm was overwhelming and I am sure this will have sparked an interest for studying in the Sixth Form. (FW)
PARENTS AS PARTNERS: OUTDOOR WEAR As the weather gets colder, we ask the support of parents in ensuring that College policy is carried out regarding outdoor wear - coats, scarves and jumpers. Coats: a black rain jacket that can be worn over the blazer in cold or wet weather. For Year 7 students this jacket must be embroidered with the College badge. Smaller jackets or “hoodies‟ are not allowed and will be confiscated. Scarves must be plain, dark, functional and not a “fashion style‟ scarf. Students should not wear scarves and coats in the main College buildings during the day. Jumpers must be V-necked black in Years 9-11, embroidered with the College badge and V-necked grey in Years 7-8, embroidered with the College badge. Cardigans or other style jumpers are not allowed. Thank you for your co-operation in these matters.
YEAR LEADER "DROP IN SURGERIES” There will be a Year Learning Leader "Drop In Surgery" between 9 am and 10.30 am on Friday 13th December for any parent/guardian of students in Year 9 who would like to discuss any other concerns relating to their child. Similar "Drop
