Welcome Back Sixth Form Parents!

We hope you and your families had a restful and enjoyable half-term holiday. As we approach the end of the Trinity term and the conclusion of this academic year, we have several important events and updates to share with you.

Lower Sixth Exam Feedback

This week our Lower Sixth students will be receiving feedback on their recent exams. We understand that this can be a nerve-wracking time, but it is also an excellent opportunity for students to understand their strengths and areas for improvement. The feedback sessions are desgined to be constructive, offering valuable insights that will help your child as they continue their studies. Encourage your child to engage actively with their teachers' comments and use this feedback to set clear goals for the upcoming term.

Upper Sixth Final Stretch

For our Upper Sixth students these final weeks of exams are critical. We commend their dedication and hard work thus far and encourage them to maintain their momentum. It is natural to feel a mix of emotions during this intense period, but please remind your child that they have the strength and resilience to get through it. Ensuring they balance their study time with adequate rest and relaxation will be key to their success.

24/7 Mary's Meals Walk - Sunday 9 June 2024

Continuing our tradition of philanthropy and global citizenship, we are proud to participate in the 24/7 Mary's Meals Walk. This initiative aims to support Mary's Meals in their mission to provide nutritious meals to children in some of the world's poorest communities. By walking together, our students exemplify the values of compassion, empathy, and solidarity.

Lower Sixth BBQ - Monday 24 June 2024, 5.00pm to 7.00pm

All Lower Sixth students, parents and families are invited to join the Sixth Form team for a summer BBQ where there will be food, drinks, a tombola, fun and games, and entertainment from our talented students!
