Lateness: things you may not have thought about

We have been seeing something of a new epidemic recently, an epidemic of lateness. It is easy to say ‘but it’s only 10 minutes’, but when you do the maths it’s a little bit more sinister.

Polyfest 2023

Thank you for all the kind wishes and support during our journey preparing for Polyfest. To the staff who sent messages and were there in person to support on the day, thank you. The students performed so well, and as some of you know, I am a crier, and the tears were a representation of how proud I was of each and every one of those students. I can tell you quite confidently that our students should know our CARR values by now.
