One last post from me...

I just wanted to write to you all and say thank you for all the effort you put in this year.  I have really enjoyed teaching your class and getting to know each and every one of you.

You are all amazing people who have bright futures ahead of you.  I believe that each and every one of you are capable of gaining Excellence endorsements next year.  I'll be checking to make sure you do!  You should all be getting Excellence subject endorsements for English, so make sure you put the effort in and make me proud.

Next year I am going to be upstairs in Ah 12, so pop in for a chat and let me know how things are going.

To Bonnie and Venus - I am going to miss you two a lot!  I've loved teaching you these past two years and wish you all the best at your new schools.  Keep in touch!

I've just set up a facebook page for Alfriston College, so if you are on facebook give that a like to keep up to date with all our latest successes and news (as I said, I just set it up, so the number of current 'likes' is a little sad).

So, best wishes everyone.  Have a happy and safe holidays.  Merry Christmas!
