Co-Curricular Notices
Open Day – Saturday 1 October We are looking forward to welcoming visiting families to Roedean on Open Day, and you will be aware from the website that students are required in School on this day. For this Open Day, all students are required in School between 9:15 and 12:30. Day buses will be running to and from School, but at adapted times. Co-Curricular Activities Now that the programme has started, the opportunity for your daughter to request to join other activities through SchoolsBuddy is now open, in case she was not allocated to everything she selected initially. In cases where activities were heavily oversubscribed, the software takes preferences and allocates accordingly. Your daughter can now request to join other activities.
For clarity, ‘drop-in’ activities cannot be selected on SchoolsBuddy as registers are not kept for these, but the girls should just go along when they wish to attend. Before and After School Activities – the girls can now also select activities which run before school and after the end of the school day. Some of these are designed primarily for the boarders, as they take place in the evenings, but anyone is welcome to sign up or attend. Sign up for these activities is live from Friday 4:00pm, until the end of Monday 19 September. PE Notices We hope it is useful to see a step-by-step guide on how to access Roedean Sport information at the following link: Roedean Sports Information. House Team Competitions Next week, our house team competition will be HOUSE FASHION. Girls and staff will compete for the three looks in a battle of Trashion, not fashion! Your daughter needs to bring with her face paint, pom poms and her house spirit.

General Notices A Message from Roedean Parents' Guild Wishing a heartfelt welcome to all parents and guardians, especially those who are new to Roedean, we are delighted to make you part of the Roedean family. For the benefit of our new parents, the purpose of the Roedean Parents’ Guild (run by parents and staff) is to promote the Roedean family, and have fun, whilst raising funds for legacy items that will directly benefit our girls. We are a vibrant friendly point of contact for parents, staff, and the wider Roedean community to meet up and get to know each other. We hold a couple of meetings each term and are involved with various events such as Open Days, New Parents Days, Race for Life and the Christmas Fair, and we also host social evenings. Details of our meetings and events are included in the Roedean Parent Bulletin (a ‘must read’, if you want to know what is going on across the school each week).
The autumn term is is always a wonderful and busy one with opportunities for parents to become involved, especially with the Roedean Christmas Fair. We are always grateful for any help and look forward to welcoming our new parents to the Guild. Our first meeting of the year is on Tuesday 20 September at 5pm at school (please report to Main Reception on arrival). This will be our initial chance to discuss and allocate tasks relating to the Christmas Fair and is a great way to get to know other parents too. Please RSVP if you plan to attend, or if you have any queries to parentsguildroedean@gmail.com. Everyone is welcome!
