Holly Lodge Girls’ College Parental Bulletin Issue number 4 June 2012 Goodbye! Visit to Holly Lodge by Olympic athlete Sadly we say goodbye to several staff members at the end of this year: Earlier in May, Olympic Heptathlon hopeful Katarina Johnson- Thompson visited Holly Lodge through the Wells Sports Foundation’s ‘Athletes 4 Schools’ scheme. Katarina worked with two groups of Y7s. She gave them a taste of her gruelling workout and the students were able to ask questions. This was a fantastic opportunity for the students and we wish Katarina well for the Olympics. Mrs Baxter, Beauty Mrs Gale, Senior Teacher/ Maths Mrs Grenville, Head of English Mrs Lawson, Senior Teacher/Technology Mr McMenamin, Senior Teacher / History Mrs Rigby, ICT Mrs Talbot, Head of Maths We wish them all well. Mrs Shaw has been promoted to Head of Maths and Mrs Cunningham to Head of English. All other necessary posts have been filled. Y7 students photographed with Katarina Clothes collection Congratulations The next clothes collection is 14th June. If you have any clothes, towels, bed linen you are getting rid of, please send it in to school to Miss Lancaster. All donations gratefully received and funds spent on extras for the students. Huge congratulations to Emily Kenwright Y11, who has secured a 3 year scholarship to ‘The Bird Dance College’ (singing, acting, dancing) worth £45,000! Well done Emily!
