Primary School visits - Mamma Mia! dress rehearsal

Our fabulous Mamma Mia! cast and crew were privileged to have a complete live audience as part of their dress rehearsal, on Tuesday 6th August. Our special visitors from Kingston Heath, Le Page and Cheltenham East primary schools eagerly arrived and enthusiastically awaited for the show to begin! Lots of laughs, sing-alongs and applause were had as we were transported to Greece through the magical songs from ABBA. 

A huge thank you to our wonderful visiting primary schools and accompanying teachers for their time, participation and support!

Reminders for Year 7 and 8 parents:

Uniform 

Please ensure your student is wearing the correct uniform, including black polishable shoes and plain socks without a logo. 

PE Uniform guidelines for timetabled classes:

  • Periods 1 and 2 or 3 and 4 – students must wear their academic uniform to school and change into their PE uniform at school for their lesson and change back into their academic uniform at the conclusion of their PE lesson.
  • Periods 5 and 6 – students must wear their academic uniform to school and change into their PE uniform at school for their lesson, they can then wear their PE uniform home (no requirement to change).

There is a full explanation of the uniform items available, and the college expectations in the school diary/planner and in the Uniform Policy on the website. Please email Linda Palermo, Junior School Director if you are experiencing difficulties securing the correct uniform for your student. 

 

School Diary/Planner

Every student in Junior School has received a named diary/planner with the expectation that it is carried to every lesson on every school day. The planner is used to record homework, due dates for assignments, test dates; as well as excursions and special events.

 

Very importantly, it is also used as a ‘hall pass’ when students need to go to the toilet or sickbay or Wellbeing appointments during class time. 

 

Laptops 

It would be greatly appreciated if laptops can be fully battery charged as a regular routine in the evenings so your student comes to school with enough battery to last the day. At home, please create a space for homework out in the open where laptop usage can be monitored to minimise harm and maximise cyber safety.
