Well, it’s finally here: the much anticipated, eagerly awaited Transition Week at St Mary’s College. You are no doubt wondering what the week has in store for you. Well, let’s take a look …

You will be getting involved in a variety of different exciting activities ranging from sports, such as Archery, to working with a highly acclaimed guest poet and Spelling guru!!. You will get the opportunity to mix with new students and hopefully make new life long friends. You will have taster lessons including RE, Science and Literacy as well as getting involved in sports teams and competitions. Exciting, eh?

The guest poet visiting St Mary’s, to work with you, is the highly entertaining Gez Walsh. Gez will introduce you to fun and interesting ways of reading, writing and performing poetry. Fantastic!

Our guest speakers include: Brian Steele (Olympic Cyclist), Jenny Morgan (Marvellous Spelling) and Craig Heap (a retired Commonwealth Games Gold medal winning gymnast.) Wow – how lucky are we to be in the presence of these people?!!!

You will be involved in three different sporting activities during the week. On offer are Archery, Trampolining, Table tennis, Boccia, … and more, much more!! Other sporting celebrities will also be paying a visit and sharing their experience, achievement and accolade to date. A great opportunity for you to learn from some of our greatest sports leaders!

Looking forward to meeting you

Mrs Hardy and Mrs Wright
