I thought I would take the opportunity, as we are conducting ‘Kindness Week’ in school (w/c 11/11), to publically acknowledge the efforts put in by our 6^th form students and 6^th form tutors for our foodbank drive.  Last term, the 6^th  form team came together to co-ordinate a foodbank drive for the month of October.  The 6^th form team believe in building the 6^th form ethos upon 4 key pillars: intellectual curiosity, academic ambition, empathy and appreciation.  The foodbank drive sought to develop the last two: an empathy for those who struggle and an appreciation of what we have.

The response to the foodbank drive was fantastic. All forms contributed a significant amount to the cause.  On the 31^st of October, a convoy of 6^th formers, led by Mr McDowell, ventured towards Medway Industrial Park to deliver the donations.  After a few wrong turns, we eventually found the foodbank deposit centre.  Our donations were kindly received by Kevin, a delightful gentleman who volunteers at the foodbank.

I wanted to take the opportunity to thank parents and carers for their support with the foodbank drive.  I believe that the substantial donations will make a difference for those who struggle, particularly as we approach the festive season.

On the Friday 17 January 2020 we are looking to host the largest County Careers Fair for Year 9 and 10 students in the South-East of England at Detling Showground in Kent.

We are looking for organisations to come and support the Careers Fair, holding an exhibit throughout the day from 9.30 to 2.30.

We are also looking for organisations to sponsor the County Careers Fair, enabling this opportunity to be available to students in Kent for free, so all students are able to participate in this opportunity.

I hope that you are interested; whether it is through exhibiting at the Careers Fair, offering your support through sponsorship or both. 

Please contact me on kfrost@rmgs.org.uk or by telephone on 01634 364151.

Thank you

Mr K Frost
Assistant Headteacher
