Last Friday, as part of a fundraising effort by Teacher Rebecca Austin, students and staff took the opportunity to don the funkiest footwear they could muster. Rebecca is raising much needed funding to support the very special work carried out by the charity Children with Cancer (http://www.childrenwithcancer.org.uk/). The charity was set up in 1987 in memory of brother and sister, Paul and Jean O'Gorman who both fell victim to leukemia within nine months of each other. Since 1988, thanks to the generous support of the public, they have raised over £150 million to help the fight against childhood cancer.
Students at the school made a donation for the privilege of wearing their funky footwear all day. The best footwear was judged at a special cat walk event during lunchtime. The overall winner of was Neuchatel House with a massive effort from all students and teachers.

During the course of this academic year we have been experiencing problems with our cashless catering and printing facilities. In addition, our student card system is becoming unreliable. Because of this we have decided to take the exciting step of moving to a new system using biometric information.
This system will be fully operational for cashless catering from Monday 29 April and for printing from September.
