Year 7 Activity Day

Friday 31 August 2018 - 9.30am - 15.30pm

The new Year 7 pupils participate in an Activity Day which takes place at the end of the summer holidays just before the start of the Michaelmas Term. This is a fun day for all, with the children taking part in games, treasure hunts and activities in and out of the classroom.  It is good opportunity for the Year 7s to find their way around the College campus, to meet more school staff and to get to know the children in their House, just before they finally begin the new school year.

Further information on the day will be sent with the joining pack.
