This week, form teachers will distribute  to students payment envelopes for the form class photo. If students wish to purchase a photo, they will need to deliver the envelope, with payment enclosed, to the finance office. Cheques are to be made out to Photolife Studios Ltd (not the school). All the relevant information is on the envelope.

The deadline for payment is the end of the day, Friday 19 March, 2010.

Theme of the Week

Reflect on some of the unique opportunities that present themselves daily.

Bill Gates and the Beatles made the most of their opportunities to practise and make a future for themselves. Often the opportunity begins by chance, but following your passion and hours of hard work can lead to unimaginable goals. When Bill Gates actually dropped out of university, he had been computer programming for seven years fulltime!
