Welcome to an exciting Term 3! We hope you enjoyed a lovely term break with the family and managed to spend some quality time together. 

We ended last term with a successful senior school bake sale and this term we have some exciting events planned.

We're seeking donations for our stall - please get in touch via email if you have donations to offer (plants, food items, books in excellent second hand condition) and we can arrange collection / drop off.

We are still looking for volunteers to help run the Secondhand Uniform Shop.

This is a perfect opportunity for anyone that has a spare 45 mins to volunteer and help the school community. 

Trivia Night 

Trivia Night is full steam ahead with the Committee busily planning the details for the night including the set list for the all star parents band. 

To warm up your trivia muscles, here is a question:  "Which common Hindi salutation translates roughly as "I bow to you"? For the answer, you'll have to read next week's newsletter! 

Other events coming up this term: Friday, 12th September - Junior school bakers, it's your turn to treat the school community with cakes, slices and goodies galore!
