We have had two celebration brunches this past week to acknowledge the incredible effort our students are putting in to every single lesson. The students photographed here have received an A1 for effort in every subject studied!
Citizens Advice are offering free Language Cafes for Mid Sussex during the Summer in Haywards Heath and Burgess Hill – why not pop along, learn English and make friends over a cup of tea or coffee!
61 Year 9 students and 6 staff members from Oathall spent two days in and around the town of Ypres in Belgium just before half term! We had a very busy itinerary visiting a number of World War 1 cemeteries, museums and monuments including the Menin Gate. Students had the opportunity to learn about the war in this area from our two very well versed expert guides as well as more hands on experience of the trenches and conditions endured by the servicemen. We heard stories of local men who lost their lives and more personal pilgrimages for some of our students who lost relatives. A blend of learning and reflection was experienced by us all.
Here is the latest library newsletter, this edition includes book recommendations for adults too!
