WEEKLY REVIEW
Head’s Introduction
The pitch is really taking shape!
Welcome back after the half-term break. I hope that you all enjoyed spending time with your family and friends.
We are delighted that work on our new flood-lit all-weather pitch is making excellent progress. It really has been amazing to see how quickly this has happened, and the girls are excited to get on the pitch and try it out. Having a facility like this on site really will transform the sports provision for the girls in so many ways. This time-lapse video will give you just an impression of the development of the site: https://vimeo.com/256436862
Earlier this week we had Higher Education Evening for over 250 students in Years 10-12. They heard from specialists in this field about how to make a competitive application to a variety of higher education institutions. I am sure that everyone learnt a great deal, and that it will stand them in good stead when they come to apply. Thank you to all the staff and girls who made the ski trip to France over half-term such a huge success. Mrs Pittingale and the girls themselves report that it was a brilliant trip. The updates on Twitter were entertaining to follow during the week, and everyone had a great time. I am very grateful to all of my colleagues who gave up their half-term to accompany the girls in France. I am extremely excited about this evening’s Movie Magic Gala Concert. We are so fortunate at Roedean to have such a remarkable Music department and such remarkable musicians. Collectively, they inspire and entertain us every term with a brilliantly imaginative and broad programme. The sheer number of musicians performing tonight is remarkable, and I wish everyone involved the best of luck – I am sure it will be spectacular!
Black Lives Matter – the mural’s developing! In Black History month, Martha is delighted that her mural in the Art Department is really coming along – in these photos, you can see the progression over the week…
