Happy New Year everybody. Remember this is your site - for your comments and stories. See Mr Shepheard or Mr Connolly for details of how you can get involved.

It's that time of year again. If you want to enter into the spirit of things, you can. Save the price of Christmas cards by sending your greetings via the Christmas Channel (AKA Activity Week channel) and make a donation to the Loaves and Fishes instead. Donations via Mr Shepheard please.

This week is anti-bullying week and the theme this year is "being different, belonging together". We have activities planned around the school to mark the week and lots of coverage here on CLASS, so keep coming back to take a look. More as the week goes on.

Welcome back to the start of the new school year at St Ambrose. It can be so exciting coming back to school after the long holidays and seeing all our friends again. There will be some who have been away to exciting places and some that have done relaxing things at home. Either way, it's a great time to swap stories. There's a whole lot lined up for you this term on CLASS. We have the results of the logo competition, a new School Council Channel and don't forget Broadcasting Club will be starting in a couple of weeks' time - look out for details.
