Things Are Changing Note

Hi Parents, The following note will be sent home with your child tomorrow. 28th November, 2019 Dear Year Six Parents, Re: Health and next Religious Education Unit to be explored in Year Six Term 4 The basic purpose for which God created the human body is so that human beings can express the love and the goodness within them. Sexuality is the distinctive ways males and females express love and goodness through their thoughts, feelings, bodies and relationships.

Best of luck to both students and parents! IPADS: There have been a number of students arriving at school with uncharged iPads. It is really difficult to charge more than one iPad at a time, so if your child’s iPad is flat, they may be restricted in what they can do for the day. Pl

If your child asks you for it, can you please hand write a note that says: 'I give my child _________________________ permission to attend the Year 7 2019 testing day on Friday 9th November 2018. Thank you, Mr Jones
