- Strictly 2019
- The annual Strictly Come Dancing event took place on Wednesday. We thank everyone who came to support this worthy cause in aid of our Malawi Partnership which was a complete sell out again. Thanks to all our dancers, the weeks of practice certainly paid off with the performance of their lives. Well done particularly to Euan Morell/Miss Campbell who placed 2nd & Ryan Paterson/Karen “The Dinner Lady” & Scott Minnis/Claire “The Technician” who were joint 3rd and Congratulations to our winners Kelsey Foley & Mr McSherry.
- A final huge thanks go to the person responsible for putting the whole show together. Not just responsible for organising the event but the choreographer and support for all our “Diva Dancers”. So a special thanks to Miss Banks for putting together yet another spectacular show.

Toiletries are in short supply (toothpaste, toothbrushes, shower gel, soap, deodorant etc) as well as tinned meat or fish, toilet roll, tea & coffee, long life milk, baby food and dog & cat food. Students can drop off any items into the RE department.
