you to all those pupils who have now returned their second Outward Bound
payment. A reminder to those who haven’t yet paid that the deadline for this
payment is today Monday 30th January and the amount due is £65.

Armed Forces Opportunities:
The school have been given two excellent opportunities from the Armed
Forces (Army/Navy). We have the chance for a group of pupils to be put through
their paces from a trained Navy instructor to see what life in the Armed Forces
could be like. This will take place in school and up to 20 pupils can take part
so if you think that you are fit enough and would like to test yourself put
your name forward.
We also have a small number of spaces available for an Army residential
camp where you will get to experience Army life, living and training with Army
instructors. If you are interested in either activity please contact Mr Whale
in Guidance.
