Drama Club – Please note Mrs. Hunt will keep pre-prep
pupils from 3.00 to 4.00 on Tuesday 2nd March to
compensate for the session cancelled before half-term. M
and S forms pupils will have a longer lesson from 3.30 to
5.00 on Tuesday 2nd and Tuesday 9th March.
What’s cooking, kids?????????????? We raised almost £300
for Haiti! We’d like to thank Jordan, Joe, Verity, Jake,
Daniel, Harkiran and Holly from S4 and Catherine and Katie
from S3 for organising and serving our ‘hotdogs for Haiti
lunch’. Well done. We’d also like to thank Mrs. Hawkins
and the ladies in the kitchen for lending their support
and expertise. What will be our next culinary
experience, gang?
HPV vaccination – The vaccination will take place on
Thursday 4th March at 10.00 a.m. after the GCSE Science
module for S5.
Friends of MHS: The focus for all of our events this year
is the purchase of a laptop for use by every S4 and S5
pupil. All GCSE coursework will now need to be completed
at school which necessitates use of these valuable
tools.
Caribbean Disco – Saturday 6th March -
12.30 to 3.30 p.m. – Cost £5.00. We’ve had a good
response to this offer. Are there anymore takers? We
still have tickets. There will also be a tuck shop with
popcorn and sweets, so make sure your child has plenty of
pocket money to buy some extra-special treats! Mums and
dads, you like sweets too- you know you do!

TOWEL! She’ll be eternally grateful! They are on sale
