Dear All,

We have now got a second date for First Aid training confirmed. This is November 19th. Please send me a message by Thursday if you are interested in First Aid training on this date. It is an all day course leading to an internationally recognised certificate  provided by ISOS. A reminder that to coach next year you will need a first aid qualification.

Thanks.

Hello Middle and Upper School Teachers,

Please have a look at the attached schedule for our annual Freedom from Chemical Dependency (FCD) visit happening during Week 11. As previously noted these sessions will cause some disruption to our normal classes, but are a critical part of our overall programme.

Please see Kasson with any scheduling concerns or Gretchen/Kris with any specific questions about FCD. We will meet with our two FCD visitors as a staff on Tuesday Week 11.

Thanks for your flexibility!
