Good luck to our Concern debaters who will face Alexandra College on Monday 21st November  over Zoom.  The debaters are Sophie Kilcullen, Sophie Faughnan, Eva Keyes and Ella Bracken.  They will propose the motion that “climate activists should not eat meat”.

This year the school is applying for its first Green Flag. The theme of the flag is 'Litter and Waste'. To support the application we are asking students to bring home the waste from their lunches. We have also installed a new recycling system with green bins on every corridor which can be used to recycle used paper only.  We would be very grateful if you would talk to your child about the importance of the correct separation of rubbish and remind them to bring food waste home.

Thank you so much for your support and we will keep you updated on our progress.
