Outward Bound – Important Message to all S1’s!
There is still time to get your name down for the August
2018, S1 Outward Bound Trip, but you need to get a move on as I send off names
and numbers to Outward Bound on Thursday, this week. Anybody still wanting to go should complete
the tear off slips from their letters and hand them to me or the office before
Thursday. Further spaces might be available, but I cannot guarantee this, so
get those slips in! Mr Wyllie
