Notre Dame Friday Mailing - 9 November 2018

This year we are running a new practical initiative for our charitable giving at Christmas. We are joining with the Besom Trust, which is a charity that helps to support people rehomed with nothing, whether these be women and children from women’s refuges or escaping abusive homes, or general refugees.

Small and Healthy snacks

A reminder please for girls and boys to only bring healthy snacks into school. In addition we also ask that snacks remain small and are simply enough to provide a quick boost. A piece of fruit really does suffice!
