Can we arrive at 6.30pm for a 7.00pm start.

Congratulations to all our students and staff, who have managed to raise over 8,700 vouchers. Our target was 5,000 so we could aim to get a greenhouse. We will now be able to get some equipment to use with the greenhouse.

Top mentor group was Poland with a staggering 1415 vouchers!

Here are some photos from our highly successful "wear it pink" day 2009.

Africa win the House Trophy for the second year running.

A huge cheer for Mr. Riley, Mrs. Whitelaw, Learning Guides, Associate Learning Guides and all the students from Africa House who, for the second year running, have won the whole school House competition.

What a tremendous achievement and accolade to have. At the end of the competition they were almost 9,000 points ahead of the next best house, which happened to be Asia.

When asked how he felt about the win Mr. Riley Said it was "unbelieveable" and "without the support of all the students and staff from Africa House this couldn't have happened so a big thanks to all those involved!"

The gauntlet has well and truly been thrown down now and it is up to all the other students in Americas, Asia and Europe to knock Africa off their top spot and make sure they don't win for a third year in a row.

Good luck to you all and let the games begin!
