Dear Parents/Guardians/Students, As you know arrangements were put in place for students to empty lockers over the past couple of weeks. The vast majority of lockers have been emptied and I want to thank everyone for their cooperation in ensuring it was done safely. We need to progress with the cleaning of the school and the lockers ahead of next year but there are still a small number of lockers unemptied and/or with locks on them. There will be one final opportunity to collect belongings and empty lockers this WEDNESDAY 24th between 9.30 am and 12.30 pm. Please note that after this time, locks will be cut from lockers and all books will be removed and presumed unwanted. The College takes no responsibility for the safe keeping of any books / belongings removed from lockers after this time. As before the following procedures must be adhered to: a) Students must enter via the main door on the reception / assembly hall side of the school b) Students must sign in on the list on the table in the entrance foyer. c) Only 20 students will be admitted to the school building at any one time. d) If students have to wait outside the school building, they must maintain a safe 2 metre distance from each other. e) No student or parent should present at the school if they are exhibiting Covid-19 symptoms. f) Students will be allocated 10 minutes within the school building to collect their belongings. g) Students must maintain a social distance of 2 metres while in the school building. h) Students must not congregate in groups either inside or outside the school. i) Once finished students must sign out on the list on the table near the door on the 'old' side of the building (opposite Daybreak) and leave through that door. We ask all students and parents to fully comply with these guidelines to ensure the safety of all. Kind regards J Leonard

Good morning everybody, Many thanks to all of you who have visited the school over the last week to collect belongings and empty lockers. I was pleased to see that everybody followed the guidelines to ensure safety for all. There is a final opportunity today to collect belongings and empty lockers between 9.30 am and 12.30 pm. All lockers must be emptied so that cleaning and preparation for next year can begin. The wearing of gloves and masks is encouraged. We must continue to ensure that we abide by social distancing guidelines so the following arrangements will apply and be strictly adhered to: a) Students must enter via the main door on the reception / assembly hall side of the school b) Students must sign in on the list on the table in the entrance foyer. c) Only 20 students will be admitted to the school building at any one time. d) If students have to wait outside the school building, they must maintain a safe 2 metre distance from each other. e) No student or parent should present at the school if they are exhibiting Covid-19 symptoms. f) Students will be allocated 10 minutes within the school building to collect their belongings. g) Students must maintain a social distance of 2 metres while in the school building. h) Students must not congregate in groups either inside or outside the school. i) Once finished students must sign out on the list on the table near the door on the 'old' side of the building (opposite Daybreak) and leave through that door.

5th year Subject Choices

Good afternoon everybody, Subject Choices for students going into 5th year were posted yesterday and may well have arrived today to your homes. If not, I'm sure they will be with you early next week. Every effort was made to ensure that as many students as possible received their choices. The vast majority of students received their first 3 choices and well over 90% of students received their first 2 choices. Where this did not happen it is either because two subjects a student wanted to do ended up being on at the same time (this is determined by student preferences for subjects) and/or that the preferred subject was oversubscribed. Below are the subject codes that show the option blocks for 5th year this year. So you can see that if a student wanted to study Ag Science and DCG for example, this would not be possible as they are on at the same time. These option blocks are created based on the preferences of the students and accommodate the maximum possible preferred subject combinations. Option Block 1 Ag Sci , Bio , Eco , DCG , Che , Rel Option Block 2 Geo , Bus , Tec , Acc , Hom , Mus , Art , Option Block 3 Geo , Bio , Con St , Phy , Hom , His What can seem like a very simple request of a change usually is not straightforward at all as classes may be full or require a change from a subject you are happy with. However, where a change is possible it will be looked at. We hope to be able to offer Applied Maths as an additional subject to those interested. Wishing everybody a pleasant weekend and continued good health, J Leonard
