HOLY SPIRIT PRAYER OF SAINT AUGUSTINE Breathe in me, O Holy Spirit, That my thoughts may all be holy. Act in me, O Holy Spirit, That my work, too, may be holy. Draw my heart, O Holy Spirit, That I love but what is holy. Strengthen me, O Holy Spirit, To defend all that is holy. Guard me, then, O Holy Spirit, That I always may be holy. Amen.
Congratulations to the September and October students who have been named linguist of the month. We celebrate linguists of the month who are students who seize the opportunity to use the language they are learning as the natural means of communication. They are not afraid of making mistakes and use all the resources available to them to express themselves in the foreign language.

IMPORTANT CHANGES TO BUS TIMETABLES With effect from 4 November 2014 there will be changes to some of the bus routes to College, following feedback during the first half term of the year. This will mean changes to timings on some pick up points (in particular on AH2) as well as more detailed changes on AH5, AH6 & AH7, which include route changes to redistribute the stops between each of those routes. Where stops have been assigned to a new route, new passes will be issued for that route and students should use the new route from 4 November. Bostock’s will liaise directly with any families that need a new pass as a result of the changes. Full details of the changes and new timetables are on the College’s website. gh
