Thank you to all the parents who have helped at events this term - we couldn’t do it without you. Next term we’ve got Quiz Night on the February 7 for all parents and Year 7 and Year 8 pupils. Our quizmaster Roger will be running the show! Wishing you a Happy New Year!. Sarah Dempsey, JPA Chair. The penultimate day of term is fun time at APS! Colourful festive jumpers replaced uniform, and soon our annual ‘Gifts for Grown Ups’ mall was open for business for pupils to shop for presents for their families - and pets too this year! A huge thank you to Sarah and the JPA elves for helping run such a successful event. Year 8 made way for Pre-Prep to eat a delicious and tasty Christmas lunch in the hall, taking their lunch in the Art room. The afternoon was full of parties and was capped off by the Year 7 Business Tycoon Mini Market, masterminded by Alison Thomas, where an array of stalls selling biscuits, flapjacks, popcorn, doughnuts, milkshakes and bubble drinks proved very popular. Thank you to all the Year 7 parents who supported the childrens’activities and making the treats. The profits will go to charity. What a wonderful way to end the term! A MESSAGE FROM YOUR JPA
