John McGlashan College
The last half of this term has been an extremely busy one here at John McGlashan College:
- The combined school production, The Idiot's Guide to Broadway, hit the Mayfair Theatre stage in week five to rapturous applause
- Winter tournament featured in week seven
- Senior student mock exams started in week eight
- The end of week nine saw the swimming sports, the always popular school Fete, and College Sunday.
Students and staff will be looking forward to a well earned break over the holidays, as preparation for junior and senior exams go full steam ahead as we move into term four.
Enjoy this instalment of the JMC e-Newsletter and see you again next term.
