Halloween Update and Thanks

Hi Everyone,

Myself and Jill would like to thank everyone for their kind contributions to Friday’s Halloween activities afternoon. We would like to thank Burnside who very kindly donated sweets for our very popular sweetie cones. We would also like to thank Mr Coleman who has helped us with the crafty side of our fundraising, our fellow S6 students who worked hard beside us to keep the morale up and Matthew who has helped us set up the hall for a spooktacular afternoon! The afternoon was a success and we have raised a grand total of £184.14 which will be added to our Senior Prom savings. We would like to congratulate Gabrielle who won our guess how many lollipops are in the Jar with her guess being 145 and the amount in the jar being 144. Thanks again for all your contributions it means a lot, it was also great to see you have a great time!

Halloween Activities Friday 29 October 2021

Hello,

S6 pupils have arranged activities for Halloween to take place tomorrow during lunchtime.  Games will take place in the assembly hall for pupils and will include Witch Hat Ring toss, Pin the Spider on the Web, amongst other things.

Pupils will be asked for a contribution to take part in the games and proceeds will go towards the school fund and supporting the Senior Prom, which fingers crossed will go ahead later this academic session.
