Hope you all had a restful half term, although after just a week back it does feel very much like a distant memory. Is it too soon to be thinking about our Xmas holidays just yet...

As we don't have College briefing on Monday morning, please can you make sure that you read through the information here carefully.

• Assembly: There is assembly Monday morning for Year 7, please register them and then send them straight down to the Assembly Hall. There is full College Assembly on Wednesday morning.  
• Reward Certificates: These went into tutor bags last week, please make sure they are given out.
• College Meeting: This was held on Wednesday 9/11 in C26. We start at 2pm and have 2 hours allocated to college work. The first hour we will meet all together and then the second hour will be for you do some follow up work. If you can not attend this meeting, please can you let me know before hand. Agenda will follow this week. (Please let me know if want me to add any AOBs)
• Year 7 Settling In Interviews: Thank you for returning your info to me about which of these are still outstanding. Please follow up with any parents that you have not yet made contact with, as a matter of urgency. If you need help contacting any parents, please let Lynne and I know. Please remember to make a brief note on Serco about your meeting, and alert us if there are any issues that we need to follow up on.
• Parent Mail: You will be given a photocopied list at our meeting this week which will contain all the names of pupils whose parents we still don't have email contact details. Please can you hound them to provide you with a working email adress as soon as possible. There is a prize for the tutor group who gets theirs all in first.
• College Captains:  We took all the Senior College Captains out for a leadership conference and then dinner this week. It was the most inspirational, uplifting afternoon I have had in a long time. Kayleigh and Sandra did us very proud! They are going to be wonderful representatives for Curie College.
•  Student Update: I will have copies of these for the month of October ready for us to discussof at our meeting on Wednesday.
• Uniform: Please remember to do a thorough check of uniform every morning. There are too many girl's trying to get away with boots. Also some boys are trying their luck in terms of their footwear. Please be vigilant as it is really important that we don't let this slide. 

Thanks and have a good week!
