Sports Day Wednesday 14th June 2017 - Templemore Sports Complex
On Sports Day students who come to school by car should be dropped off at Templemore Sports Complex for registration at 9.05am and be collected from there at 2.30pm sharp. Students who walk to school should come to school as usual for 8.45am where transport will be provided to and from the school to Templemore Sports Complex. Students who get a bus to school each morning will be picked up at their usual bus stop and brought directly to school where they will be transported to Sports Complex and back to school by another bus.
This year we will have an Olympics themed sports day, where every class will be allocated one of five countries that they will compete for and support on the day. This is in recognition of London hosting the World Athletics Championships, 2017 and should create a fun and exciting atmosphere on the day.
Students must come to school in tracksuits and will compete in their PE kit however; they will be encouraged to wear a t-shirt, or an accessory of the colour given to each class that identifies the country they are representing. Their PE shorts and socks must be worn to compete. Students should have some money with them. There will be a hot food stall, refreshments and fun activities available on the day (the school website will have a full list of refreshments, activities and prices).
As we are making use of a public facility, we expect the very highest standards of co-operation and behaviour from all our students throughout the day. All parents/guardians are welcome to attend our school Sports Day where a range of sporting activities and fun events will be available. Parking is available at Templemore Sports Complex.
Thank you for your ongoing support.
Yours sincerely
Ms Paula Fleming
(Head of PE)

“Ignite Your Future” Talk
On Friday 9th June, eighteen Year 9 girls attended a talk, “Ignite Your Future”. The aim of which was to inspire the next generation of female technologists. Five role models from local IT companies: Allstate, Fujitsu and Kofax spoke to the girls about their experiences and the wealth of opportunities that are available to women in the digital world. Lumen Christi College hopes to work closely with these companies in the future to promote ”Women in IT”.
