Next Meeting: Wednesday 12th March, 5.30-6.30pm
We hope everyone is well.
This is a gentle reminder of our meeting taking place this Wednesday 12th March from 5.30pm - 6.30pm in the LRC at the school. Supporting documentation attached.
When we are done with all the boring and mundane stuff, we have exciting news—International Day will be taking place at the school on 24th April! 🎉 This is a fantastic opportunity to celebrate the rich cultures, traditions, and flavours which brings the school community together.. But we need your help! Whether you’d like to share a dish, showcase a tradition, or help with planning, we’d love for you to be part of it. Join us at our meeting to brainstorm ideas and put together a committee to bring this event to life. It gets bigger and better each year!.
We’re also thrilled to share that, following a passionate meeting with our student committee, we are applying for a grant (if successful) to host a vibrant activity honoring the incredible legacy of the Windrush Generation! This will be a fantastic occasion to come together, learn, and pay tribute to the contributions of those who helped shape modern Britain.
We’d love for parents and families to be part of this —whether by sharing stories, talents, connections, or ideas. If you have something to contribute or simply want to lend a helping hand, we’d love to hear from you!
Let’s make both these events unforgettable together!
Hope to see as many of you as possible on Wednesday. If you are unable to make the meeting, feel free to connect with us by email.
