SUPPORT DURING THE SCHOOL CLOSURE
We are aware this may be a difficult time for many of those within our school community. To help, we have compiled a list of some useful services. These are not exhaustive but may be a useful starting place for those in need of support at this time.
We have conscious too that a great deal of information has been sent out to parents and students since mid-March. To help everyone to keep track, we are maintaining an archive of communications. Please refer to these documents and to back issues of Bartholonews.

Curnock Community Awards
This week in Curnock we launched our ‘Curnock Community Awards’ and asked students to let us know about the wonderful things they are doing in their local community and we had several responses. A huge well done to Jenny (10C1) who has been involved with creating facemasks using a 3D printer. Great effort Jenny. Also Meg Archibald (7C1) has been posting leaflets to members of her street offering support and giving away old books and toys to other children in her community, again a great effort from Meg.
