There will also be a reward of 2000 house points for the tutor that brings in the most positives.

The eco committee has created slideshows for afternoon tutor sessions to educate students about the problems we are facing in the world and how we can make changes for a better world.

The gardening club,though new, has gained popularity throughout the whole school and is a nice relaxing environment to go to if you feel stressed at break.
