Profile Image

This year we are again offering students in year 11 and 12 the opportunity to take the suite of Morrisby Psychometric Assessments in preparation for making A level, degree and career choices. The Morrisby Profile is enhanced careers guidance. Letters and application forms have been emailed home with the details. I would encourage you to think about this opportunity, the report and feedback will support your planing, offer fresh and original ideas or indeed challenge you current thinking. Morrisby can demonstrate your potential.  The event is taking place on the afternoon of 11th March. Please ask your parents to check their email and discuss the idea.

Visit To Lille Christmas Market

19th December 2014Anthony Da-Silva

We had a very successful trip to Lille Christmas Market on December 11th. The students were able to use their language skills to communicate with the vendors and bought all sorts of lovely gifts for their families and friends. Most of them sampled the gauffres and crêpes on offer and managed to steer clear of the gluhvein. They also braved the big wheel and took photos across the city and met the man in red himself. Their behaviour was exemplary and we were proud to be with them. All in all, we had a great day out.

Senior Citizen Party

27th November 2014Miss T GAUGHAN

Hello all,

The year 12 students from St. Joan of Arc’s ARC group (Active Roman Catholics) are raising awareness to organise a Senior citizens party this Christmas. This will take place at St Joan of Arc’s Hall on the 5th December. As Roman Catholics, Jesus taught us to love thy neighbour and by organising a Senior citizens part we are following the teachings of Jesus. We hope that the Senior Citizens enjoy the spread that we have put on and that they are reminded that there are people in society who think of them and they are not isolated nor neglected.

Photos of the event will be posted shortly.
