Welcome to your sixty-second update! Look out for emails about those all important winter vaccinations; meanwhile we congratulate Lucas on his prestigeous Chief Scout Gold Award. Due to the building works there will be fewer bike racks at Anchor Lane, but this is only temporary to allow West Block to be demolished. Year 8 football had a close match with Astley Cooper, Year 7 netball won against JFK and Year 7 basketball drew against Longdean. Emily's wonderful winter scene is our art work of the month, and year 13 students have been developing their oracy by 'being the teacher'. Year 11 football beat Reach Free, Senior netball took on Tring and Year 11 netball took on JFK. The Hemel Hempstead School beat Ashlyns to become district under 16 table tennis champions, Year 8 football took on Tring, and Year 7 netball had their setting tournament. When we come back, on Monday 3rd November, it will be blue week. Have a great half term holiday everyone.

Did you know that The Hemel Hempstead School has an active friends association called the HHSA? Each year they hold an AGM to recruit new members and plan the year. Last year their fundraising helped the school to buy textbooks, table tennis tables, sound equipment for performances, a new collection for the library, cameras for photography, trophies for awards and provided support to families in special circumstances. Please come along to the library at a quarter to six on the 6th November to find out more. Your school needs you, and every bit of time you can give, however small, makes a huge difference.
