Head of School’s Blog – 8 December 2023

The Christmas season officially kicked off this week at Carisbrooke College with our Federation School Panto Tuesday and Wednesday of this week. Thank you to all of the students and staff involved and a big thank you to the parents/carers who came along to support the performances. It was an excellent evening and I was a very proud Head of School!

A group of year 7 and 8 students from both Carisbrooke College and Medina College left for a trip to Ypres yesterday early morning. It will be a busy two days for them and I look forward to hearing all about the visit next week on their return.

Next week will be a busy week of festivities but lessons will still take place as normal right up until Friday at 3.15 pm. Monday through to Thursday, we still expect students to be in full correct uniform.

We have our Christmas lunch on Wednesday, the Santa Dash next Friday on the last day of term to raise money for The Wight Brainy Bunch and also a student and staff mufti day. To take part in mufti day, we are asking for £1 donation towards the Ellen Macarthur Cancer Trust.

Hopefully you have had a chance to read the resources shared earlier in the week from the local authority around the dangers of vaping. Please share this with your child if you feel it is appropriate.

Congratulations on our top achievement point winners for last week – year 7 Jack, year 8 Molly, year 9 Naomi, year 10 Luke and year 11 Ashleigh.

Have a good weekend.

Miss Begley
