CONGRATULATIONS Congratulations to Imogen Brown(10BLS) and Katie Constable (10PLMC) who successfully completed the Ten Tors Challenge on Dartmoor last weekend walking 35 miles over two days. The commitment to the training and the sheer determination shown by the girls has been incredible. Imogen and Katie should be very proud of their achievement. They have been training over the past 7 months in some appalling weather conditions including snow on the Black Mountains and torrential rain on Dartmoor. They both walked in different teams with scouts, guides and explorers with youngsters they had never met before. The whole experience has been amazing for them.

Their musical composition, penned in French by Darcy Farrant and performed together with Emily Cannon, Milo Drewett, Jonathan Peirce and Luke Plastow drew praise from the judges.

RESEARCH STUDY WITH PART-TIME WORKING MOTHERS Is your youngest child at secondary school (aged 11-16)? Did you work full-time before having children? Are you working part-time, having predominantly done so since having children? If this is you, and you might be willing to give up some time to tell me your stories about part-time working and mothering, please do get in touch. I am a mature PhD student at Bath University and am also a mother who has worked part-time for 10 years. Email me (Fiona MacGill) at [email protected] or phone 07801 847134 and I will fill you in further about the study.
ATTENDANCE LINE Please ring as early as possible on the first day your child is absent from college. Tel: 0117 377 2228 Always give your child a note to give to their tutor when they return to college following an illness.
BRAINTEASER
WISE WORDS! I remind myself every morning: Nothing I say this day will teach me anything. So, if I am going to learn, I must do it by listening.
Larry King, Talk-show host
LAST BRAINTEASER ANSWER
E-SAFETY TIP: Talk to your child about who they are adding to the buddy lists online. Lots of young people compete with their friends to see who can have the most ‘friends’ in their buddy lists so they will add people they don’t know in the real world.
SPORT RESULTS Year 8 Boys Crowned Bristol & South Gloucestershire Football Champions 4 goals from Leevan Uhylk and a penalty from Callum Grundy White saw St Bede's beat The Grange 5 - 2 in last night’s final played at the Frys Club in Keynsham.

Congratulations to the boys and a big thank you to the great support from parents yet again. The team now play Tewkesbury School in the County Cup next Thursday. They are the Stroud, Dursley , Cheltenham & Gloucester Champions.
