A Term of Fun, New Friendships, and Fundraising!
We’ve had a wonderful start to the year, with several memorable events that have brought our school community closer together, and we’re excited to share the highlights with you.
First, we kicked off the term with our Year 7 Welcome Picnic, now in its second year. Despite some heavy rain, the event was a huge success, with families braving the weather to join in the fun. It was heart-warming to see so many students and parents enjoying food, games, and great conversations, setting a friendly and welcoming tone for the new school year.
Following that, we hosted our second annual Christmas Wreath Night, another delightful event filled with festive cheer. Guests enjoyed mulled wine, nibbles and lively conversation while creating beautiful wreaths with fresh foliage, Christmas baubles, cinnamon sticks and more. It was a relaxed evening that allowed students, parents, and staff to get creative and take home something special for the holidays.
To wrap up the term, we held our much-anticipated Christmas Shop for students. As always, it was a hit, giving students the chance to pick out gifts for friends, family and themselves.
We’re incredibly grateful for your continued support of these events. Thanks to you, we’ve been able to raise vital funds for various school departments, including the Sixth Form and the PE Department, which have already received funding this term. This would not be possible without your involvement, and we truly appreciate your generosity.
Looking ahead, we’d love to hear your thoughts on future events. As some of you may know, we had to cancel last year’s Summer Ball and Comedy Night due to low ticket sales. We want to plan events that everyone will enjoy, so please share your ideas with us! Whether you have suggestions for adult or student events, we’d love to hear from you. Simply email your ideas to PTA@townsend.herts.sch.uk
Thank you once again for your ongoing support and for making our school community such a vibrant and welcoming place. We look forward to seeing you at future events.
Warm regards and have a wonderful Christmas.
