FRIENDS
You are probably coming from a school where you knew everyone so you might feel a little worried about so many new faces.
Everyone feels this way, even those who already have brothers and sisters at the school, so we all recognize that you may feel a bit insecure.
There are so many people here that are looking out for you. You will make new friends and meet many new people. Your form teacher and Head of Year will make tremendous efforts to help you settle into St. Paul’s.
We arrange for senior students to show you around. They are also there for youif you ever have any problems.
BUSES
If you are entitled to a bus pass, it will be provided by your Form Teacher. Pupils who travel home by bus must make their way to the Technology corridor at 3.30 p.m. Pupils must line up in an orderly fashion and follow the instructions of the teachers on duty. Pupils must come directly into school when they get off the bus in the morning.
St. Paul’s also have Year 12 bus prefects who will deal with any problems you may have. |
