SIXTH FORM WEEKLY BULLETIN Friday 26th May 2017
Issue No: 41
Message from Mrs Freeman Slip Slap Slop...this is the message I have been shouting out my office window this week! As the sun shines down on Hind House garden please can I remind everyone of the importance of protecting your skin with sun cream so that we can enjoy the sunshine safely. On Thursday this week I spoke to the students about the UCAS process and how to get logged on. They will be spending time in their forms working on this and looking at courses on line. This is just the start of the process and it will then continue in earnest following the UCAS forum day on 19th June. Just to make you aware, I will be on Jury service over half term and the first week back at school, so if there are any Sixth Form queries or concerns, please direct these to my Deputy, Dr Esland (kesland@royalmasonic.herts.sch.uk). I wish you all a restful half term and hope the sun continues to shine for the Bank Holiday! Mrs Freeman
Message from Miriam Keen to make the most of this week’s very welcome burst of sunshine, Sixth Form girls have been making full use of The Rose Garden behind Hind House. We are very fortunate to have such a wonderful, private space for us in which to extend the facilities of the common room for working and relaxing in the fresh air. In fact, the weather has been so kind to us this week that on more than one occasion girls have turned the garden into a lunchtime ice cream parlour and Mrs Freeman has subsequently enjoyed the benefits of an office with a window leading directly into it! The Rose Garden has been especially appreciated by girls with AS Levels as a peaceful haven in which to escape the stress of exams – the oriental ‘Zen Garden’ has evidently had the desired effect! I, for one, find it difficult to believe that this half term has gone so quickly; I wish you all a restful half term. Miriam
