As part of our initiative to reduce waste, one of our key focusses for the Eco Schools Award, we organised a ‘Grand Clothes Swap’. This allowed students to donate pre-loved, second-hand clothing and accessories to either trade them for others or buy some from an array of clothing at a very low price. 

On Friday, 17th May, we were delighted to receive an online visit from award-winning author Catherine Bruton attended by keen readers and writers in Years 7-9.  Inaya in Year 7, who was already a big fan of Catherine's books, supplied this report:

'The Catherine Bruton online visit was extraordinary and unforgettable! She helped all the people who attended with some brilliant writing tips and ways to develop our story-writing skills. Her books are outstanding and unique because she adds heart-warming meanings.  For example, in her latest story, Bird Boy, the message is that there are hardships in life, but there is always a path to overcome them. Catherine was very enthusiastic and talked about how she loved to share her beneficial morals with the world through her books. She is a true role model for younger readers and writers.
