And next year’s words await another voice’, I wonder what T.S Eliot would have thought and written had he been commenting on 2020. I am sure we are all keen to start 2021 with hope for a better year than the last, and the good news is that the Spring Co-Curricular programme is geared to help you do just that. It is filled with new options and a real focus on STEAM to kick off 2021 with a bang! For where would we be without pioneering scientists at this crucial point in our collective history? This term you could try our Code Club or Lego Builders group for Fryer, Origami or Artful Maths for Year 9 or perhaps you see yourself entering competitions through our Science Essay Writing group for Sixth Form? Budding Year 10 Engineers might want to join our STEAM Design & Build Club or sign up for the STEAM Projects Club which is geared towards the CREST awards. Debating Matters is a new society for the Lower Sixth and NEWTS (our amazing Nature, Environmental and Wildlife Taskforce) is back in Fryer for those interested in supporting our Eco Schools initiative. Remember you have year group Prep Club options too should you need a quiet space to work before tea. Have a fantastic time making your choices and most importantly, have fun when you get to your activity. In friendship, Natasha Coccia Assistant Head, Co-Curricular
