SIXTH FORM BULLETIN – Week Beginning 28th March 2011 SENIOR BOYS FOOTBALL For the first time in 15 years the Senior Boys’ football team have reached the District Cup final, which is an amazing achievement. They beat St Mary's, Cheshunt, 32 on penalties. Too many heroes to mention. Please congratulate them all. Please show your support next Friday at Cheshunt Football Club, 4.00pm Kick v Broxbourne for the final. SWIMMING SESSIONS Would students who have been given a swimming session to cover please make sure that they turn up. We are only asking for one hour from each student and you can take school work to the poolside. If you are unable to make the time slot given can you let me know as soon as possible in order to find a replacement. This is vitally important as it is a Health and Safety issue. Many thanks for your attendance in advance. (See below for times) Mrs Harman, School Manager. POLITICS STUDENTS Is the Alternative Vote worth voting for?
