VICARAGE & 50NL. WEEK 13 . FRIDAY 23 NOVEMBER 2012
TEDDY BEAR HOSPITAL COMES TO THE VICARAGE On Wednesday 21 November, medical students from St George's University visited the Vicarage and transformed the Hall into a Teddy Bear Hospital. Prep E and S children brought in their favourite cuddly toy and learnt how to clean teeth, take their temperature, check for a heart beat, bandage and apply plasters as well as dress up in real scrubs! The Teddy Bear Hospital is an international project aimed at reducing childhood anxiety about medical professionals, environments and procedures. Preps W and N are looking forward to their surgery next Wednesday. Miss Gemma Meyrick - Prep S Parking: Please do NOT park across driveways - not
Lady Colquhoun met the Gaps who are joining 50NL even for 'just two minutes' as it never is! We have had (photographed below) and the Vicarage in 2013, last complaints from neighbours who cannot leave their drive- week in Canberra. We look forward to welcoming them ways to go out, which is utterly unacceptable and brings to Broomwood Hall and hope they will have a very the school into disrepute. I am on the warpath about this.
Scooters and bikes: Please do not leave any scooters or
bikes at school over the weekends. 50NL is always open on
Saturdays and we cannot therefore guarantee that they will
be secure. We would advise taking them home at the end of
each day as a number have sadly gone missing.
