WELCOME
Welcome to YOUR new College.

Some of you will no doubt be feeling a little nervous
and at the same time a little bit excited about
coming here today – Please do not worry that is a
normal reaction!

Don’t panic, we have a fantastic team of Year 7
Tutors to look after you – in fact I would be more
concerned if you weren’t a little apprehensive.

I know that you have made an excellent choice of
College. I have met many of your teachers and they
have told me that you are all going to be a credit to
us so thank you for choosing Blessed Edward
Oldcorne Catholic College as your high school.

Remember, you are the future of this college!

Good luck.
Mrs Jones

Dear Year 6 Student,

We have been at this College for nearly a year now so we thought
we would write you a letter to help you settle in.
We love our College and one of the best things about it is that
there are lots of students so you can make many new friends.

The College has lots of amazing sports facilities such as the
Sports Hall, the Multi-Use Games Area (MUGA) tennis courts,
multi-Gym and massive playing fields. There are lots of clubs
running every lunch time and after College as well as many
inter-form competitions, so make sure you join in.

The Modern Foreign Language lessons are really enjoyable, and we
know you will really have a good time learning new vocabulary.

There are lots of brilliant teachers at the school, they are very
helpful and kind.

If you are interested in Music there are lots of instruments that
you can learn to play, like the piano, guitar, and drums. If you are
really keen you can have lessons, so book now! The ICT facilities
are incredible. You can go on the Internet and surf for free! You
get your own personal password so you can log on to any computer
in the school.

There is a vast amount of opportunities for you at this college so
make sure you get involved!

Good luck, we know you are going to love it.
