Headmistress' Introduction

Dear Parents and Carers

The public exams and summer assessments finally finished this week.  Well done to all the students involved and good luck to our Year 12 students who start their work experience on Monday, we hope it goes well.  

On Wednesday, we held the Community Careers Event (pictured above and below), where alumnae and parents kindly gave up their time to speak to our Year 10 students about their career paths.  It was a briliantly positive event and we thank Mrs Sutton and Mr Pitchers for their hard work in organising, and also our parents and alumnae for giving up their precious time; we are truly grateful.

On Wednesday evening, our Year 11 students celebrated at their Prom.  It was a joyful occasion, they looked amazing and we were really truly proud of them.  Thank you to the AHSA for organising it and to all who helped and supported the event.  I know that the Year 11 students appreciated it very much.

It will not be necessary for students to wear blazers for the remainder of this term.  Monday, and possibly Tuesday, in particular, are going to be very hot days.  Please remind your daughters to carry and drink plenty of water and, if they have PE or are playing sport, please remind them to wear sunscreen.

Finally, we say a sad goodbye today to Miss Scott, one of our valued Wellbeing Assistants.   We will all miss her greatly, both students and colleagues alike.  We wish her all the very best for the future.
