Ashton Highlights Newsletter 11
Friday 12th December 2014
It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas here at Ashton. In the newsletter this week you can read all about the range of activities our staff and students have taken part in to spread the seasonal message of peace and goodwill to all. You may recall in the last edition I mentioned we were welcoming some very special visitors to school this week as part of the Ashton Methodist Church Posada. You can see more of how their day was spent on page 3, but suffice to say all those who were in contact with our visitors had an opportunity to reflect on the purpose of their visit and will not forget their experience. When you look at the timetable of events for the day you will also have a good insight into a day in the life of an Ashton student; really quite revealing. Our SCAMPs programme continues to thrive and in this edition you will see how two new additions to the programme are faring. Running Club goes from strength to strength, with numbers increasing each week, see page 4 if you would like to join in. The SJA (St John Ambulance) unit also continues to thrive, with a committed group of staff and students working their way steadily through the training that will see them achieve a first aid qualification that may one day save a life. Truly remarkable determination to make a difference to others can be seen every time that group meet. As we move into the final week of the school term, I would like to remind you one last time that tickets are still available for A Cosy Christmas, but they are selling fast. The production runs for 3 nights but is strictly entry by ticket only; tickets will not be available to purchase on the night, so if you would like to come, please contact school. As always, we are keen to share in your news, so if you have any stories you would like to share with us, please contact school in the usual way, Best Wishes Sharon Asquith Principal
