Dear Parents,

We were excited to learn our Y6 Theatre Sports Team tied first in their heat and will compete next week at St Andrew’s in the final. We wish the team the very best as they are challenged to think quickly on their feet and do their best to entertain the audience with wit and humour!

This term, our debaters are participating in an international debating competition online, arguing their point of view with schools from around the world! They are also enjoying a terrific run of wins with both teams being successful in their respective debates over the last two weeks.

Next week, we welcome parents to the Y2 Strings Concert and the Y3 Strings/Brass/Woodwind Concert. Details have been sent out via Operoo.

Y3-Y6 Christmas Lunch Volunteers

Arrangements for our annual Christmas Lunch are underway. In the next little while, our CSPA Vice President (Junior School), Nonie Elliot, will contact Y3-Y6 parents via an Operoo email to explain how they could assist and how this process is organised, so we have some helpers from each year group (Y3-Y6). We are very grateful to those parents who are in a position to help on the day and thank them in advance for their assistance.

Getting Ready for 2023

This week, we welcomed many of the new students who will join us in Kindergarten in 2023 and next week we hold our annual ‘moving up’ day for all our students. New students in Y1-Y6 2023 will also join their intended cohort for the morning. These visits can help allay nerves, engender some excitement and allow our staff to get to know our new students.

The week after next (17 November), our current Year 2 parents are invited to attend a parent information session about the year ahead. Please follow this link for information about the session which starts at 8:30am. This information was sent out recently via email.
