From the Principal

A busy month to end the term. I look forward to seeing many of you at these events.

What’s happening in March

Science and Engineering week runs from 12th-21st March. This year’s theme is ‘Earth’. Pupils will be creating posters and entering them into the British Science Association competition. We will also be holding a house quiz with science questions from the British Science Association.

New Football Kit

We are very fortunate to have a new football strip, kindly sponsored by Checkers. The girls’ wore it for the first time last week.

Student Success

Our Yr9 Football team played a great match against Ladies’ College and won 1-0 with Aisling Norman scoring the winning goal.

Ella McClymont, Yr 11, has been starring as Prospero in the Guernsey Youth Theatre production of ‘The Tempest’.

The Inter House Speech and Drama competition, just before Half Term, was kindly judged by Mr George Foote and won by St. Agnes.

The Junior Choir came second in their class at the Eisteddfod.

Well done to you all!
