Presentation Night

A gentle reminder about Presentation Night on Thursday 7 December.  All Dunhelen students are required to attend. Students should be in correct summer uniform and on arrival will need to find their Homeroom teacher, to be marked off the roll and to sit with their class. This is a formal celebration of the year’s events.

Year 9 'Step Up Day'

On Tuesday 12 December, the Year 9 students will be having their ‘Step Up Day’. On this day, they will meet their Head of House and Mr Murphy, who will welcome them into Brookhill. The students will complete some activities and hopefully the day will help to ease some of the anxiety some students may feel stepping up into Senior School.

End Of Year

As we come to the end of another year, students are growing tired. Please remind your child that school will continue up until Wednesday 13 December and that normal school rules and expectations apply. It is very easy at this time of the year to be distracted, however, it is important that we remain focused and end 2017 in a positive manner.
