The school fees for 2015 will be proposed and voted on so please make every effort to attend. The sports programme this term is often disrupted by wet weather and arrangements have to frequently be changed at the last minute. Please keep an eye on the D6 as this medium is used to communicate any changes that may have to be made. Where possible we do use the SMS system as well, but sometimes schools do cancel fixtures at the last moment due to rain and alternative plans have to be made. Thank you for your support in this regard. Page 2 of 13 The term is moving at a blistering pace – I am sure that many of you in the corporate world also feel this! There is still a great deal to accomplish before the year ends and we look forward to the week ahead as we take on more exciting challenges.
