The dates are the 24th - 30th August, so if you want to come, put it in your diaries/phones/bits of paper/however you keep track of dates (week C for those in the know). Letters will be coming out for that trip in the next couple of weeks, so keep an eye out for them if you are interested!    Cell Groups  Some  of the groups have got a bit out of sync with each other, but hopefully in the next couple of weeks, most groups will have caught up.  Year 7 cell will be looking at Spiritual Disciplines.  Year 8 and 9 cell will be doing a second session on Mental Health. Year 10, 11 and 13 cell will be doing Mental Health for the first time.   Year 1
