Great prizes for the VMG who win!!! Christmas Quiz WE NEED YOU! On the last week of term, there will be a Christmas quiz for each VMG to enter. In order to generate the questions we would like each VMG to think of a question for the quiz. This needs to be a hard question to test the other VMGs but not unreachable.

STUDENT VOICE A note from Winnie Hi, I hope you are all doing well! Following from last week’s notice, Student Voice recently visited The Manor Academy to understand how we could improve our catering facilities and options. It was a successful trip that we all enjoyed and the canteen at Manor Academy gave us many new ideas that we have presented to Dr Smith and SLT. I am very pleased to say that all of the staff were very supportive and approved our proposals that included: “Subway” style sandwiches with your choice of fillings A coffee bar serving hot drinks such as hot chocolate and latte Different options for hot soup More meal deals available. Further planning and organisation will be needed and Student Voice will be working closely with the catering Staff over the next few weeks in order to ensure that our actions are as effective as possible. For this reason, we will be trialling our new ideas near the beginning of January. We hope that this will be successful and on behalf of the Student Voice team and myself, I would like to thank you for being supportive and patient with us. STUDENT VOICE
