This week some students from St Peters 13-18 came to talk to the Year 3’s about the Brilliant Breakfast
What is The Brilliant Breakfast? The Brilliant Breakfast is an annual, nationwide event raising funds for The Prince's Trust. Whether it’s a simple tea and toast at home with family and friends, or a workplace breakfast with a difference, you can help change young women’s lives. The money you raise from your breakfast could help disadvantaged young women get into work, education or training and turn their lives around. Together we can celebrate how successful women can be with the right support and opportunities. When - Anytime between 9-15th October. We are encouraging Year 3 students to create a ‘brilliant breakfast’ at home for friends and family and to ask for donations towards the Brilliant Breakfast campaign. Details of how to donate any funds raised will follow.
The sixth form students that visited Year 3 brought recipes ideas for chocolate chip pancakes and blueberry muffins and a template for students to design their own ‘brilliant breakfast’. Designs and photos of anything the students create can be submitted to school and prizes will be given after the event.
Autumn Holiday Club Update Monday 23 to Friday 27 October We have had to close bookings a bit earlier than planned as we have reached our staff : child ratio capacity in most age groups on most days. So, parents can no longer book via Evolve. If you still have childcare requirements, please email holidaycamp@stpetersyork.org.uk directly to double-check, as there are one or two spaces available in certain ages on certain days, so it is worth checking. Many thanks, Holiday Club Team.
