We have made it to the end of November and Christmas is just around the corner. It is hard to believe that we are almost already at the end of another year. On that note, a couple of reminders:
- From 6 December, our Foundation Art and Design students will have a sculpture exhibition on display at Quay Arts. Please do pop in and have a look at their fantastic work.
- On Thursday 11 December we have our Christmas dinner. If students would like to sign up, they have until next Friday to do so. Also on that day we will be taking part in Christmas Jumper Day in aid of Save the Children, so a donation of a £1 on that day would be appreciated.
- On Friday 19 December we are finishing for the Christmas holidays at 12.35pm. We will return on Monday 5 January 2026.
This week we held a really successful Christmas Quiz night organised and hosted by Student Voice and they raised £389.45, the profits will be split between the local Food Bank and the Year 13 Prom. To continue supporting the Island Food Bank, we will collect food donations which can be handed into reception. More information will come out about this next week, particularly which items are most in demand in the lead up to Christmas.
Please don't forget to sign up for appointments for the Year 13 Parents' Evening on Wednesday 10 December, 4-7pm. Appointments can be made through Arbor.
Have a lovely weekend and I will see you all in December!
