Message from our Chaplain Mairie
We have listened, with sadness, to the reports of the boat capsizing off the coast of Greece this week. As emergency services and rescue charities work together to support survivors, we are reminded that next week is Refugee Awareness week. The theme for this year is Compassion and there has never been a more deserving time to show this generosity of spirit to those in need. We know how interconnected our world is: how something seemingly “far away” impacts everyone. All of this makes us even more aware of the need to widen our circles of compassion. Within our own experiences are all the tools we need to be compassionate, not just to ourselves and those in our immediate circle but to all our human neighbours and our one shared home, planet earth.
This week Erin Costello-Kelly in Year 11 had a trial for England’s Women Rugby Centre of Excellence. She is one of the youngest players to be invited for a trial. Well done Erin, and fingers crossed for good news.
Congratulations to Oleksandra Zheludova in 7 Kolbe who passed her Grade 3 Violin exam with Merit.
Year 10 GCSE geography students have spent the Friday in Salford Quays where they have been collecting data for their paper 3 exam. A fantastic day had by all.
On Monday 26th June we are delighted to welcome all of our Sixth Form applicants for September 2023 an opportunity to come into school and experience a day in the life of a student within St Nicholas Sixth Form. Students will follow a timetable of their chosen subjects to deepen their understanding, whilst providing the opportunity to try a new subject if they wish. We have some of our Year 13 students returning to pass on their experiences and top tips, and of course students will be able to experience the unique community feel of our Common Room. All our applicants should have received a letter in the post outlining the plans for our Welcome Day as well as a QR code to register your response. If your child would like to join us and you have not yet completed the short form indicating interest please use the link below to register interest as soon as possible.
Myself and Mrs Crowe along with the Student Leadership Team and students from the wider Sixth Form community have been working on a revised version of the Sixth Form Dress Code for some considerable time. This has involved hours of discussion, students presenting to both SLT and sending proposals to Governors.
Congratulations to the winners of the attendance vouchers.
Along with school ties, PE socks are now available to purchase via Parent Pay.
