Sixth Form ID cards

Year 12 should now have been issued with a Sixth Form ID card. They dont have a picture on but they do identify you as part of our community. Year 13 should use their ID card from last year, and if you've lost it you can get a new style one without a picture. Everyone should have a purple lanyard with Burntwood Sixth Form on it and YOU SHOULD BE WEARING IT!If you haven't got something you need from this list come to the Sixth Form office and pick it up. Please note Ms Cavanagh wont be in on Friday the 12th October - she's going to France on the school trip!

Envision coming thursday lunchtime.

After a successful and productive first session, Envision will be holding another get together on Thursday 11th October, in M31/32. Be there at 12:40 sharp cos there's lots to do!

Hope the meeting goes better than this one!

Check Your Timetable!

I need to check your timetables to make sure I have all your details correct. Come to the 6th Form office, get your timetable and check it. Put it into the checked box.
Do this as soon as possible.

Mrs Cavanagh

Enrichment

Lets start off the new Burntwood blog on a positive note. The year 12's and 13's are gonna get the Film Club up and running asap. Now that we have a cool new venue-as soon as we can kick Ms Cavanagh out- we may as well start using it! Rehana Khan(12) and Lydia Kinsey(13) will be organising a schedule for their respective year groups so if you want to get involved then step up. Watch out for the new notice boards that will soon appear in the common room and find an enrichment activity that rings your bell. DING DONG! Till then, lets be friends!
