Weekly Update – 25 October 2024

Please see our Newsletter for this half term here.

After half term Year 7-9 students will be doing Cross Country in their double PE lesson for the first three weeks, building up to Inter House Cross Country. On these days the students will get changed as normal before PE lessons and DO NOT need to come into school in PE Kit.  As it is likely to be muddy and potentially wet, please ensure that students have a plastic bag to put wet clothes/trainers in. If students would like to wear football boots that is fine but they must also bring trainers with them.

The Hart Rotary Club are promoting the Rotary Young Writer Competition. This provides an excellent opportunity for students to participate in a highly regarded national writing competition and offers the opportunity to give free reign to their creative writing skills.  The competition involves writing an essay (up to 550 words) or a poem (up to 40 lines) and this year’s theme is “Wonderful Water” which offers so many varied possibilities for an interesting story or poem.  All the details of this competition can be found in the Rotary Young Writer Information Pack here and a copy of the entry form is here.  All entries need to be submitted by Friday 7 February to Mrs Fisher in English.

Hart Volunteer Centre are holding an information event on 11 November at The Elvetham as they are looking for Trustees for various local community organisations.  See this link for further details.
