PUPIL BULLETIN Friday 2nd December 2016
Music Magpie:As the festive season will soon be upon us, it’s time to make some space for new Christmas presents! Can I ask all pupils and staff to have a quick rummage around your houses and rooms to see if you have any old CD’s, DVD’S, computer games, old phones or games consoles that you no longer play with?? We can swap these for cash towards the school fund. Volume is the important thing. We will accept anything! So please get hunting and bring anything you can find to Mr Baker’s room in G23. Please dig deep and help us to boost school funds! Many thanks. Mr Baker and S6 Fundraising committee. (MB)
