"They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them."

We are so fortunate that each form class is assigned to lead one assembly throughout the academic year. We love listening to their carefully chosen topics & the messages that they want to share with their peers/staff. Thank you so much to 10FR as well as Mrs Ramirez & Mrs King.
