3. Year 11 mock exam
This will happen P3/P4 on Thursday. Students will go to the Assembly Hall/Lower Gym at the end of first break. The exam is 2hrs 15mins long, so they will go into lunch break but will be given an extended lunch as a result of this.

4. Year 8 Media unit
If you're planning on doing the ice-cream unit for Year 8 Media, please help yourself to ice-cream tubs from the dept office. We've got quite a few but we have a lot of classes to spread them around so please only take what you need. If everyone takes a variety of brands/styles that means that nobody will be left with a host of plain ones.

I'll renew my appeal to staff for more in briefing.

5. Replacing Julie
We have a supply teacher, Leila, who will be taking most of Julie Dunnett's classes as of Mon 6th Jan. Katie O'Shea will be taking over a Year 9 class and Amjad Ali/Jane Arris will be covering her Year 11 class.

6. Birthday fever
It's Corinna's birthday on Tuesday and both Pauls had theirs over the Christmas break, so how about a dept lunch (with chocolate, cake, etc) in the office on Tuesday?
