SIXTH FORM WEEKLY BULLETIN Friday 16th June 2017
Issue No: 43
Message from Mrs Freeman The sun is shining, the roses are out and the Sixth Form are enjoying ice lollies in the garden.... what a lovely picture this is! The sad events of the last few weeks have sought to destroy this freedom, happiness and equality that we as female British citizens have come to enjoy and take for granted. It is at times like this that as a community we must come together, support each other and demonstrate both the school and British values in how we live our lives. Democracy, the rule of law, individual liberty, mutual respect and tolerance are all key to ensuring that future generations of RMS girls continue to experience the same freedom and happiness as the Sixth Formers I am watching today. Have a good weekend everyone!
Message from Miriam On Tuesday, excited Year 7s set off to the Verulamium Museum in St Albans for a day of enrichment in their studies of Latin and History. I am sure my peers in Year 12 will agree that it is extremely difficult to believe that we took part on that trip five years ago! Not only this, but Civil War Day took place for the Year 8 girls last week, an event which was now four years ago for us. I, for one, find it very odd when these things come around again every year and we find ourselves older – perhaps wiser – and certainly with more exams to worry about! Our time at RMS has seemed to pass us by so quickly; for something which has taken up such a large part of our lives so far, it unsettles me more than a little to reflect on quite how speedily it has all flown by. It seems only last week that we were introduced to the girls who would be in our form when we started in Year 7 and now they are all old friends. However, we have managed to pack a lot into the past six academic years – I have been fortunate enough to visit Valencia and Berlin and other girls have been even further afield to places such as China and Ghana on visits to reaffirm links with partner schools around the world. Let’s make the most of the time we have left. Miriam
