Thorpe Park 2010

admin — Fri, 02 Jul 2010 19:52:14 +0000

The Thorpe park trip has become an annual event in the St Mary’s calendar and always proves to be a great day out for the students. This year the students enjoyed some fantastic weather and although the park was busy many were able to try out the new rides and the usual favourites. I would like to extend my thanks to all the staff that supported the day and to the students themselves who always make the event such a success.

Charlton House Sports Day

Charlton Sports Day went without any hitches yesterday and the children performed well in their individual events – as did the parents in their respective events too!

School Prom 2010

admin — Tue, 29 Jun 2010 20:44:54 +0000

The School Prom has become an important part of school life and is seen by many as an act of ‘moving on’. It is for this reason that parents swelled the ranks of spectators last night outside Chilworth Manor Hotel. The arrival of students in Stretch Limos, Classic cars and even a Horse and carriage created the start to a wonderful evening. The year 11 have made a great impression on the College and ended their time with us in style. My thanks go to Mrs Thompson and Mrs Gallagher for their work in organising and decorating the venue. To Mr Heron for the wonderful photographs you see here. Finally a big thank-you to all the parents, teachers and friends who supported the students throughout their time at the College.

La Parisienne était fantastique!

admin — Tue, 29 Jun 2010 09:25:27 +0000

Twenty four students from the College enjoy an extension to their French lessons by meeting for an evening cuisine at ‘La Parisienne’ (Romsey), arranged by Madam Raymont. They were joined by their new teacher (from September) Mrs Annaleise Adams. As usual the students were fantastic and praised for their good manners and behaviour by the restaurant staff.

Jack Dowding practices his French by ordering ice-cold water (No English should have been used when making their choices!)
