St Anne's pupils, teachers and the community at large are being asked to sign up to a series of pledges to make the school the "best in Britain".
The school's interim head teacher, Geoff Cowley, has worked with pupils to draw up the charters as part of his remit to improve the school.
Each charter, which will be prominently displayed, pledges that each student, teacher and resident "accepts their responsibility" to make St Anne's as good as it possibly can be.
To those ends secondary students will sign a promise to "behave appropriately in and out of school", challenge themselves to achieve their potential, and respect themselves, other students and everyone on Alderney. In return, the charter says, they should expect understanding and patience, while learning, and that their teachers provide "well planned, interesting and challenging lessons". Part of the deal is that Guernsey Education Department - who will also be made aware of the charter - "treat us fairly, to listen to us and ensure that the School is given the necessary means to meet our aim."
The Guernsey Bereavement Service has made three visits to Alderney over the past few months and would like to continue to help you. We are visiting the island again on
Tuesday, 23rd February 2024 and would invite anyone who feels they would like Bereavement Counselling to telephone the Bereavement Service Office on 257778 to make a time to meet one of our counsellors.
Tue 21st July 2026 Free entry, retiring collection for ABO. Pete Ellis escaped office life in 2000 to take up a life in the outdoors. Soon becoming an International Mountain Leader, he led trekking holidays in the UK, Europe and further afield for the next 20 years. During this time, he also indulged his passion for climbing mountains, which included, in 2012, Mount Everest. This completed the Seven Continental Summits (the highest points of all seven continents), an achievement accomplished by a select group of about 400 people.
This talk is about the final, Everest, stage of The Seven Summits. The climb was from the north, through Tibet, the route originally visited by Mallory and Irvine in the 1920s. It will be a personal tale of the trip, illustrated with many photographs.
