This year’s ski trip to Andorra was once again successful. The behaviour of the group was excellent throughout the week and the pupils were a credit to the College. Those pupils who went on the trip as beginners were able to ski well by the end of the week. All the more experienced skiers made good progress and improved their skiing ability. Letters for next year’s trip will be available soon.

Year 7 pupils at HBEC are delighted to take part in the popular national reading challenge: Readathon! From Thursday 1st March until Thursday 22nd March most of our Year 7 pupils will be reading and collecting as many sponsors as possible to raise money for two children's charities. Not only is this a fantastic opportunity for pupils to discover and read a range of new novels, it is also encouraging them to raise awareness and funds for two very worthy causes: Roald Dahl's Marvellous Children and CLIC cancer charity. Good luck Year 7!
