DEAR PARENTS The official newsletter of

“The source of all happiness lies in thinking of others.”
These are the words of ninth Century Buddhist monk Shantideva and perfectly fit the theme we’ve been focussing on in Meeting for Worship this term. On Monday it was a real pleasure to congratulate the twenty children who completed the Good Deeds Advent Calendars (a little late, I know, but the small matter of a STEM fortnight, crept up first!) Between them, the children generated 432 good deeds! Sticking with the theme, we also heard from School Council who introduced and explained our new and improved Friendship Bench. Situated in Mary’s Garden (currently undergoing a Spring trim), the bench is designed to be used by individuals feeling in the need of someone to talk to or play with and the children have been encouraged to look out for those needing help. Finally, on the theme of Thinking of Others, we’d like to say a big well done to Read and his brother Finn who have recently had their haircut having grown enough to donate it to the Little Princess Trust which creates wigs for child cancer patients. Well done boys.
