        Independence Week
One of the ideas bought forward was a week
 off timetable to simulate a week at work.

We will be discussing this further to develop
 ideas at the next student council, so if you
 have an ideas make sure you tell your
 tutor prefect.
Your tutor representative has a
questionnaire for your tutor group
to complete. Please be honest
and offer any further ideas to
them.

Thank you – Student Council Prefects – Ben and Becky
