We are looking in to the possibility of running a ski trip exclusively for St. Joan of Arc Sixth Formers. The parents / carers of all current Year 11 students who have applied to come to St. Joan’s, as well as current Year 12 students, have all received a letter outlining the finer details. Please get your expressions of interest in ASAP. Please speak to Mr. Briggs regarding any questions you may have!
All Year 12 and 13 Students are invited to have complimentary breakfast in the Common Room prior to all of their exams.
Breakfast will be available between 08:00 and 08:45
Breakfast available to all Sixth Formers before all exams in the Common Room (08:00 – 08:45)
Thanks to Waitrose Rickmansworth for supplying the food and to Mrs Fry for organising and running the breakfast club.
Following the conclusion of the recent election and a series of interviews on Wednesday, I am pleased to announce the committee for the next academic year.
The committee will officially take up their positions in September, but will be doing some work towards next year in the coming weeks, including their first full committee meeting next Wednesday after school.
Thanks once again to all students that applied and took part in the selection process and thanks to all students and staff for their support.

Tamara Lawrence, a former student of St Joan of Arc, can currently be seen at the National Theatre, in a biography of legendary Blues singer Ma Rainey. Tamara, who starred in our SSF production of Macbeth and in our school production, The Dracula Spectacula, was one of our highest achieving students in Drama and graduated from prestigious London Drama school RADA last year. The Guardian reviewer describes her performance as “an alluring and professional debut”: Well done Tamara!

Our year 10, 11 and 6th form students have been invited to join with RMS students on 8th March to meet with a host of employers including lawyers, doctors, scientists and engineers, business men and women, representatives from universities and so much more. No registration required please just visit on the 8th
It was extremely humbling and a privilege to be chosen to visit our local food bank. It made me realise how fortunate we are and how easy it is for anyone to undergo hard times and find themselves in a situation where they must choose to pay the rent or to eat. Giving our donations made me feel proud of our Catholic community and has helped encourage me to want to do more for others. It was surprising to hear how many people need our local food bank and made it very clear that hard times can affect us all. It felt great to put our faith into action and follow the teachings of Christ, by supporting ‘The Trussell Trust food bank’ we are really helping those who have met troubled time. Jesus taught us to ‘do to others as you would have them do to you’. We would like to say a huge thank you to both year 10 and 11 for their tremendous generosity as they have truly helped so many people in the community. No doubt year 9 will be as great.”
