Now that the nights are drawing in and there is definite chill in the air, I wonder if there is any chance of a snow day soon?????

• Assembly: There is no college assembly this week due to mock exams.
• Children in Need:  This was held at lunch time today and went very well, all the cakes were sold out. We are still trying to raise money this week with our ' Guess the Smarties' competition so please encourage people to have a go and take part. We will be putting a notice up on Serco too.
• Parent Mail: Please keep at it.
• Student Update: Pupils failing to turn up to Tutor Time at all:  This issue will be discussed in our CAL meeting this week. Val has found a way of accessing this data eaisly so you do not need to worry to keep sending your names through. ( Smile Matt!) I will feedback to you after our meeting, if you have any issues you would like me to raise at this meeting, please let me know.
• Uniform: Please keep at it, the message about boots is getting through.
• Achievement points: The College with the most achievement points at the end of this term gets treated to breakfast in the canteen. At the minute we our fifth. Whe I looked at the figures it did start me wondering wheter or not we are actually giving enough achievement points as tutors and a college. I know Donna is brilliant at remembering to do this, she is always giving achievement points for things like uniform, behaviour, punctuality etc. Let's all try to reward as many of our lovely Curie College students as we can between now and Christmas. ( Yes, this includes you too Andy!)
• My Birthday: Next Week Monday is my Birthday and it is a big one for me this year. Lynne is so keen to celebrate it that I came into work today to a Happy Birthday banner, flowers and chocolates. It was a lovely way to start the week! I will definitely be going down to the A&G on Friday, as it marks the start of the last weekend of my thirties, and it would be lovely to see you there to help me celebrate/commiserate?

Have a good week, in my case it can only be better that last week!
