Last Day of Autumn Term
Year 11 Future Pathways
Extra curricular activities at Eastlea
This Wednesday we offered our Year 11 students and families a fantastic opportunity to learn more about the range of Post 16 offers there are out there. The evening began with an insightful talk from our careers advisor, finishing up the evening with a careers fair from lots of local Sixth Forms and Colleges. Our students were able to get all the information required to make well-informed decisions on their next steps for their futures. The conversations and advice given by our external partners was fantastic, with a special mention to: New City College, Big Creative Education, Leyton Sixth Form College, Department for Business and Trade; our alumni students from Brampton Manor; London Screen Academy, London Design & Engineering UTC; Sir George Monoux Sixth Form College; Newham College; Newvic; St Bonaventure's; ELAM and Barking & Dagenham College.
More information about the education for 16 - 18 year olds can be found in this brochure, produced by the London Borough of Newham.

Library Notices
Library Books
Just a polite reminder that students are expected to return/exchange their books at least once every month. Many students have outstanding books which are late and need to be returned or renewed as soon as possible.
Clubs - Year 7 Book Club and Homework Club
Student Helpers
Year 7 Book Club has now changed from Tuesday to Thursdays after school, 3.30-4.15, with Mr Hibbs. Homework club runs everyday after school, 3.15-4.45 with Mr Bhatti; all students have access to Chromebooks for their homework. I am also keen to introduce a new Games club after school so if students are interested, or have any ideas about what they would like, please come and let me know!!
Students that have been chosen to be helpers, and received a slip to confirm this will start on Monday 4th November. All students will receive certificates and badges at the end of each term.
