NEWSLETTER Friday 13th December Dear parents and carers, We have been really getting underway with the Christmas spirit this week and have had a family feel today with staff and students in their Christmas jumpers; thank you for your support – donations go to Save the Children. We have also shared in our Christmas lunch today; students ate lunch complete with Christmas music, table cloths and crackers and it felt very positive to sit together as a school community in this way. We also enjoyed our Christmas Concert last night which was a really festive and fun evening – many thanks to all teachers and students involved in this wonderful event. This was a really festive and fun evening and one of the real highlights of the term. It was a thrill to see music at the heart of our school, with performances by our school band, ‘The Underdogs’, The Cowes Enterprise College Concert Band, Ukulele Club, Glee Club, CCF Band and Year 7 Singing Group. We had terrific feedback from parents who really loved our newly styled Christmas concert. Thank you to Lucas in Year 12 who compèred the evening – we have yet again run an event at which no staff member has needed to talk as the students have led the public speaking themselves. I would like to congratulate our sixth formers for their fantastic performance at the Crown Court mock trial competition last Saturday. Our amazing team worked incredibly hard and it paid off as we came a hugely admirable second place against teams from island schools, including the private schools. We have also carried out a whole school election yesterday, building on the work of our whole school hustings which happened earlier this term. A reminder that on Tuesday afternoons I am always available to meet with parents with attendance by pre-booked appointments only. With best wishes, Rachel Kitley Click the arrows or swipe to turn pages
