This weeks' WESPA Round-Up
WESPA Round Up | Date updates, lost property and some summer swimming
Dear families,
Hello sunshine! It has been great to see so much going on in the WESPA camp. Hot on the heels of International Evening, last Saturday saw an intrepid bunch of parents zipping round the Heath on 5 and 10k runs. Thank you to everybody who overcame the hills, the sun and social anxiety to run for the school - we raised £330 for the Staff Room fund and WESPA Awards. And it was a lot of fun too - if you want to join the next one, please get in touch.

Thank you also to all the parents who volunteered for the Y11 Leavers’ BBQ last night and especially to Vicky for organising the event. What a fun evening it was - such a lovely way to round off the year.
WESPA Meeting and Social - DATE CHANGES!
The WESPA Social will now be from 7pm on 9th July. The last WESPA Choir rehearsal of the term is beforehand so perhaps we might even get a song! This time we’ll be holding it at the Duke of St Albans (one of very kind sponsors at the International Evening) on Highgate Road.
The WESPA Meeting has also changed and will now be at 7pm on 15th July. It will be online and the agenda and link is below. If any parents would like to discuss anything, please email williamellispa@gmail.com
Lost property and uniform giveaways
This has been mentioned lots on the groups and WESPA will be coming in on Thursday 4th July to lay out all the lost property before the end of term. This will be during the school day and we’ll send out a heads up on the WhatsApp groups in advance so you can remind your son to look out for anything that may be missing. There is a lot of stuff - mostly unnamed - and anything remaining will be donated to charity or recycled.
Summer swimming…
For those planning ahead for the summer, Elly from the Lido got in touch and she will be running swimming classes through the summer. She is also running a fundraiser to make sure all children in the area are able to participate. There is lots more information here: https://www.lidosummerswimschool.com/
Have a great weekend all!
Best wishes,
