This morning was our last House Assembly of the year and our Senior House Captains led the assembly reflecting on our House activities of the year. Mr Oli Hiscoe, Associate Director of Income Generation at Willen Hospice attended our Assembly to collect and thank Thornton for a donation of funds raised this year and share with students the vital work that they do and important new developments at Willen Hospice. Sr Helen also attended to accept a donation and to share with students what life is like in Lebanon and how funds raised will help our JM school there. Congratulations to all our Houses for their efforts this year and Good Luck to each for our Sports Days this week!![]()
