HESKETH HOUSE NEWSLETTER 3 FEBRUARY 2023
A note from the Head…
Eco-Committee Recycling Project
At the end of last week, we launched our new Bolton School website, which retains the url: https://www.boltonschool.org/ You will note, on the homepage, that the five large photos on a rotating carousel load up differently each time you log on and that all eight schools within the Foundation are given equal representation. We have attempted to slim down and rationalise the website without losing key information. Please do have a look around, but here are a few key pages you might want to bookmark:
The girls in the Eco-Committee are hoping to get everyone on board recycling old pens and other stationery items. They have made collecting boxes which have been put in each classroom. There are clear instructions on each box about what can and can not be sent for recycling. Please put your old pens in here and not in the bin!
Term Dates Catering Menu Media Wall School Calendar School Policies Sports Fixtures Coaches Various School Businesses Of course, like all websites, this is very much a living entity and we will continue to fine tune it as we go along. Please could I remind you again to contact the Hesketh House office first thing in the morning if your daughter will not be in school for any reason. General queries should also be directed to the office juniorgirls@boltonschool.org.uk or 01204 434761. Mrs C Laverick Road Safety Update I have been made aware that a new pelican crossing is being planned on Chorley New Road and should hopefully be completed and operational after the half term holiday. The crossing will be situated close to the junction with New Hall Lane and will provide a safe crossing route near the School’s Leverhulme Pavilion. We regularly reinforce the importance of road safety with all pupils and this is a very welcome addition to the other safe crossings currently in place.
Donate and Recycle – Summer Dresses Parents will be aware that the summer dresses no longer form part of the Hesketh House uniform. Although we have said they can still be worn in Summer Term this academic year, they are not available to purchase and won’t be sold in any of our second-hand sales. We have a contact who is currently working on a project out in Malawi. He has re-built a primary school just north of the capital and identified 100 local orphans who he is currently supporting. He has asked if we might provide some second-hand uniform for these children and we thought that our old summer dresses would be perfect for the girls. If you have any that your daughter will not longer wear, please do wash them and send in to school so that we can donate them to this worthy cause! Twitter Please follow us on twitter @BSPDJnrGirls.
