School news
Lord Mayor’s
Prize Day 2010
Parents and boys should be aware that the
first day after half-term is our annual Lord
Mayor’s Prize Day event at Guildhall. Your
son’s form tutor will go through the order
of ceremonies for the day with your son this
coming week.
Please note that prizewinners will not have
any classroom lessons on the day of Monday
1st November 2010 and non-prizewinners,
with the exception of prefects and new
boys in the Third Form will be released
from School at lunchtime.
Calfix
All boys should keep a copy of this term’s
Calendar and Fixtures List in their blazer
pocket. It is important to keep abreast of
what is going on in the School.
This term’s CALFIX booklet is a pale
grey colour. Last year they were pale blue,
mauve and then white. What colour do you
think it might be for Spring Term 2011?
Do you want to write for
The Citizen?
Regular meetings take
place every Friday lunchtime
at 12.50pm in room
111.
Schoolcomms?
Mr C B Fillingham Assistant Headmaster
All families should have received a letter
through the post this week regarding
Schoolcomms. We are fairly confident that
every family is connected to the system, but
we cannot tell whether or not parents are
actually looking at the email.
We ask that you read the letters and then
print off relevant pages. This is particularly
important for reply slips and consent forms
for school trips and visits.
If you have a connectivity issue or you want
to add a recipient to the system, please contact
Mr Shaw on: james.shaw@clsb.org.uk
