YEAR 7 CHARITY 'SHOOT THE HOOPS'
Our form, 7V, organised a charity event to help raise money for Great Ormond Street Hospital.
This is a great charity to raise money for as it helps to support children who are poorly and need medical help. It was a very popular event with many people taking part from all different years. The event was called 'Shoot the Hoops' where you could receive a prize dependent on how many successful basketball hoops you got in - it proved challenging to get all 3 hoops in!
We all enjoyed setting up and taking part in this event, it was a successful day and we raised £42.00 in aid of Great Ormond Street.

MATILDA REHEARSAL SCHEDULE
MATHS REVISION SESSIONS/REVISION PACKS
Year 11, 12 and 13 Maths revision sessions after school EVERY Wednesday in N33 and N34 from 3:00 to 4:15, bring along anything you would like to work on and you will get extra support and help if you need it.
Casio FX 83GTX Scientific calculators are still available on Wisepay for £9.00. Bring your receipt to the maths office to collect.
In previous years past paper exam packs have proved very popular as a revision aid for many of our students. We have issued a pack to every student and are using them in class and for homework tasks.
Due to the rising costs of paper and printing, we will be asking for a voluntary donation of up to £5 to cover some of these costs and so we can continue to supply this valuable resource. This can be accessed through your usual wisepay log on for your child.
Many thanks for your continued support.
