Morning Year 13, Thanks again for those of you who are updating me with what you've been up to over the past few weeks. Please keep sending me emails. As I said before, I love hearing from you. Leaver's Ball update I can confirm that the Leaver's Ball will not be happening on Thursday 18th June 😞. However, I am currently talking to the venue to reorganise the event to a date later in the year and will keep you posted on this as soon as I have confirmation. It is most likely to be in December when you are back home from University or are on your Christmas holidays from work. Theme of the Week PSHE Bulletin 27/04/20: Coping Skills by Mr Hunt The Big Question Can we learn to cope better with the problems life throws at us? Prayer of the Day Lord, you know this life is both beautiful and brutal, often both at the same time. When problems come our way, help us to see them as small steps in the journey of our life, not unclimbable barriers. Amen  ...

Good afternoon Year 13, I hope you've all been enjoying the glorious weather and making the most of the sunshine. This blog has a few important reminders for you. 1. Your A Levels Mr Gower has written to you regarding the upcoming generation of centre assessment grades. You can read his letter here. 2. Student finance If you are going to University this year, it is important that, if you have not already done so, you apply online for student finance ASAP. It does not matter if you are not 100% on where you are going or if you change your mind later on as you are able to make changes online.  It is very straight forward to apply and you can do so here. If you would like more information or have any questions then please feel free to email me or Mrs Elmer (selmer@salesian.surrey.sch.uk).  There is also a free webinar being run by the University of Kent on 13th May on the finance system, how to apply, and what you'll be expected to pay back. This is also a great opp...

PSHE Bulletin 20/4/20: Community and Loneliness by Mr Hunt The Big Question Is the lockdown weakening or strengthening our sense of community? 'I am ready to go whenever they call on me!' Volunteer 'superhero' prepares for action while others deliver medicine to the most vulnerable as 750,000 strong army of NHS helpers join fight against coronavirus outbreak https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-8195327/750-000-NHS-volunteers-report-duty-begin-helping-elderly-vulnerable-today.html Prayer of the Day  Father God We pray that we will emerge from physical isolation with stronger communities and new relationships (thanks to your miraculous provision of Houseparty, Zoom and WhatsApp!) Open our eyes to those around us who might be lonely and show us how we can help. Amen “If you fall, your friend can help you up. But if you fall without having a friend nearby, you are really in trouble.” Wise advice from King Solomon, in Ecclesiastes 4:10 CEV The...

Good morning Year 13!  I hope that you've all had a happy and restful Easter holidays with your family. What have you all been up to? I am missing you all and would love to have some updates from you so please feel free to send me a quick email! I have been trying my best to keep my mind and body active. Here are some of the things that I've been up to: 1. Completing challenges 🏆! I have been inundated with "nominations" for challenges including; a 5k run 🏃, squat challenge, first photo challenge, etc.  Run 5, Nominate 5, Donate 5 I'm on day 12... 2. Zoom quizzes/catch ups My husband and I have quickly realised how awful we are at quizzes!

Working on my creativity I have taught myself to ...
