The School Shop will be open next Tuesday as usual and then again on Tuesday 7th January from 2pm to 4pm. In addition purchases can be made via the internet (with the exception of Christmas week) and items will be left in the school office for collection. There are plenty of warm Rose Hill fleece-lined waterproof coats in Pre-Prep sizes and there will be woollen scarves in stock after Christmas (as well as fleece scarves, fleece hats and gloves). We now have an excellent stock of most items of second hand uniform (sadly no larger blazers) and ac-cept all items of very good condition second hand school uniform (except shoes and socks). Proceeds from the sale of the uniform are shared equally between the school and the parent and shown as a credit on your school invoice. Happy Christmas to everyone! Sue Noad [email protected]

As 2013 draws to a close the RHPA would like to say a huge THANK YOU for your help and support during the winter term.

The Christmas Fair was a great success with a profit of £3000!!! We will be making a £600 donation to Mae Toh School in Thailand where Rose Hill has been sponsoring 7 boys until the end of 2015 when they will finish their education. The money will go towards the cost of their vocational training. Special thanks go to the Year Reps for their hard work in pulling everyone together, organising the stalls, raffle etc. All their efforts were very much appreciated. We would also like to take this oppor-tunity to thank the teachers and staff who ran stalls and the school grounds staff (John, Neil, Derek and Ron) for all their help with the setting up/clearing up of the Christmas Fair.

The RHPA wish you a very Merry Christmas and

we look forward to a fantastic New Year.
