A problem shared is a problem halved.PSHE Thought for the Week:

Artbeat 2011 Exhibition:Preview Event

Artbeat is back!

Since its launch in 2003, I think it’s fair to say that the Artbeat project, supported by our community partner Allen & Overy, has gone from strength to strength at BGTC and this year it is bigger and better than ever.

We kick things off with the Preview Exhibition this Thursday at the Allen & Overy offices, Bishops Square. We are also pleased to announce a brand new Enterprise project that will add an online store and much more to the Artbeat empire! Visit, www.artbeatgallery.co.uk to see the site taking shape. More next week.

? ?“Supersize” Quote CompetitionSay what?By now you should have noticed one or two of the super-sized quotes around the school. We hope you like them. As wise as the words are and as famous the people are that said them, we would like you to come up with your own.

In tutor time, we want you to come up with an inspirational quote about the importance of education. You can write something between you or #nd a quote in a book that you like - either way, the winning entry will be made “supersize” and put up on the wall in The Street with your names underneath.Please write your name, tutor group and idea on a piece of paper and post it in a Voice Box. Good luck!
