School closed for Easter Tuesday

Dear Parents

The Easter holiday dates vary from year to year and are determined by the moon. Easter usually falls within the school holidays and this can catch us out when it happens within the term.

Easter Holiday dates for 2021:
Good Friday: 2 April
Easter Monday: 5 April
Easter Tuesday: 6 April

Please be aware that the Tuesday after Easter Monday is a school holiday but not a statutory holiday, meaning that schools have to be shut while everyone else goes back to work.

The rule to close schools on Easter Tuesday was first introduced in 1954. It’s unclear exactly why it was introduced, but the holiday has remained in place and is part of the Education Act legislation.

I wish to highlight this to you to ensure you have plans in place for next Tuesday when school will be closed.

Have a safe and happy Easter.

White Elephant: Items can be dropped off to the MPF, before and after school, Mon, Tues & Wed

Gala – this Friday

Gala help needed :

With the good news we are now back in level one we are very happy that our Gala can go ahead.  We have a list of last minute jobs to do this week and Kristy and her helpers are busy working on those.  But we still need your help.  On Gala night we need people to help serve the food and there are still HEAPS of spaces to fill – we still need at least 12 people.  We currently have some parents working all night on a food stall, and we also have some of our ex-students helping out.  We are getting desperate!  If someone in your family is available to help on Gala night please let Kristy know urgently.  We have broken the night into two shifts, 4-5.30 and 5.30-7, so you won’t be stuck working all night.  And you won’t be expected to prepare the food, all the hard work will be done and you just need to take the money and serve the food.  This is not a time to sit back and think someone else will do it.  Please don’t be shy and get in touch with Kristy on newhaven72@gmail.com
