THE PATH TO FASCINATION & FULFILMENT
In this section of our school website we aim to make it easy for you to pursue existing interests and to discover new ways of spending your leisure time.
INFORMATION - The A to Z of Leisure - Many of you won't have a great deal of leisure time. Many parents, for example, seem to spend most of their time dropping off and collecting kids from their leisure activities. Also, most of you who live in the area will be aware of most of the leisure options available locally. However, just in case you do find the time and just in case you are not aware of what is available both locally and beyond, then here are some suggestions for you. I have selected a range of links to a variety of hobbies, pastimes and activities that will enable you to keep boredom at bay. Here you will find everything from top tips on DIY and organizing your finances, to advice on gardening and watercolour painting techniques.
LEISURE - K.A. Music Club will be online soon. Whether you are a strummer or a picker, there is a whole range of interesting stuff here. Incidentally, we have a demo competition which is open to pupils, their parents, former pupils and even former staff. Check it out.
