Tomorrow, Friday 27th October, is the last day on which a 1st or 5th year student may change their option subject. To do so the student must bring a note from his parent/guardian stating what subject he is changing from and wants to move into. If the class is already full, the change cannot be made. Subjects have now been taught for 10 weeks, which is a lot of catching up to do. Any student who is moving must make that effort to catch up themselves, in their own time. I caution anyone from making a change so late into the term, as they have missed a lot. That is why this week must be the last week. Thank you.

I hope that all first years in particular have settled in well and will return from their Midterm Break more confident and relaxed for the remainder of Term One. Enjoy the week off all.
