Many apologies for the change, but we have been informed by the House of Beauty that evening slots are not available for our Beauty Event. We now have 30 slots between 2 and 4 p.m. on Tuesday 20th November. Please book this week so that I can sort out details for this event.
Treatments cost £18 per half-hour and payment must be made at the time of booking (cheques should be made payable to 'Friends of Barnsley Christian School', as we are still in the process of changing our bank account to reflect the school's new name.) Treatments can be booked via the school office, by telephone on 01226 211011 or by email (exams@hopehouseschool.org.uk). You can send in a reply slip with your child along with your payment if you wish.
Looking forward to seeing you on 20th November!

Jamie At Home
It has all been happening today at school! Plans are coming together for the Christmas Fayre on Friday 7th December and we are pleased to announce that Diane Ayre, a representative for Jamie At Home will be at the Fayre selling tableware and crockery endorsed by Jamie Oliver.
Catalogues and order forms are available in school now from the office and orders with payments can be taken. All orders received by 23rd November will be available for collection at the Christmas Fayre, but you can also place orders at the Fayre and Diane guarantees delivery before Christmas.
There are some lovely items for sale, ideal for Christmas presents, so please do take advantage of this opportunity.
We still need items for the Christmas Hampers (items of food and drink for one hamper and toiletries for another) and would be grateful if these could be sent into school by Friday 23rd November as well. Home baking, home produce (jams, mincemeat, pickled onions, chutneys etc.) and crafts will also be gratefully received (and sold!)
Many thanks for all your ongoing support.

Beauty Event
House of Beauty (click here for website) have agreed to host another Beauty event in aid of school funds. This will take place in two sessions on Tuesday 20th November.
You can book a half-hour treatment from 2-4 p.m. in the afternoon or from 6-8 p.m. in the evening and pay just £18 for this (normal prices are about £26). Treatments available are:
• Shellac Fingers
• Shellac Toes
• Clarins Express Facial
• Deep Tissue Back Massage
• Face & Eye Refresher
• Indian Head Massage
• Soothing Face & Scalp Mass
• Grooming Manicure
• Floating Feet Pedicure
This is a fantastic opportunity to treat yourself or a loved one before Christmas, and there are usually opportunities to buy (and win) amazing beauty products as well, so we are confident this will be a really successful event.
The House of Beauty is situated on Pitt Street, just around the corner from school:
If you would like to book a treatment, please contact me at school, by phone (01226 211011) or by email (exams@hopehouseschool.org.uk), giving me your name, contact details, preferred time and preferred treatment. Payment of £18 will also be required at the time of booking.
In the past, these events have sold out virtually straightaway, so do contact me soon if you are interested!

Recycling Day
The Bag2School Recycling Day is on Friday 16th November. Bags will be sent out this week. Please send in your unwanted good quality clothes, bedding, curtains, belts, shoes and handbags. School receives money based on the weight of items received, so this is an ideal opportunity to have that clear-out before Christmas and help raise funds for school at the same time!
All items should be brought into school on the morning of 16th November. We don't have the space to store items before then, but please do bring items in then so that we can raise more funds.

Bake 'n' Take
Monday's Bake 'n' Take was hugely successful, raising £116.25 for the school. Thank you to everyone who provided such delicious home baking and to all those who helped serve.
Tuesday, 2 October 2012
Contributing to FHHS
There are 3 events currently being planned for the autumn term and we very much hope you will be willing to get involved in these.
(1) Bake 'n' Take Monday 22nd October at 3 p.m.
A Bake 'n' Take only works if people are willing to provide home baking for the event and if others are willing to come along between 3 and 4 p.m. on that date to buy the home baking! We hope you will be kind enough to provide lots of buns, cakes and home made biscuits for us and that you will remember to send your children with some money to buy things on that day! It's even better if you can call in and buy as well! We serve hot drinks and squash at this event.
(2) Bag2School Recycling Day Friday 16th November 9 a.m.
This event involves clearing out your wardrobes in preparation for Christmas! You receive a bag about a couple of weeks before the collection date and bring in all your old clothes, bedding, curtains, shoes, bags and belts to school on the morning of 16th November. This is collected by a company who pay us money according to the weight of the bags. How easy is that? You get a good clear-out and the school receives money for it!
(3) Christmas Fayre Friday 7th December 3-5 p.m.
There are two ways you can support this event. One is to provide things for us before the date (eg home baking, homemade chutneys, preserves, pickled onions etc.) to sell or you could contribute luxury items for our Hamper Competitions (giving us food, drink or toiletries to go into hampers... we then run a competition to guess the overall value of the hamper in order to win it!) We are running a craft stall, so any home made cards or knitted items or things like that can be donated to sell. The other thing you could contribute are wrapped sweets or chocolates for us to sell with the last of the mugs from last year!
The second way you can support the event is to come along to the Fayre and join in the fun! We will be running a number of games, competitions and stalls immediately after school and if everyone just stayed for a little while and spent a little money, it's surprising how this soon adds up! Hot and cold drinks will be served and hopefully we will have a wide range of fun activities on offer. Maybe you will find some Christmas presents or stocking fillers!
If you have any questions about these events or would like more information, please do contact me at school.

Planning meetings
Maybe some of you are put off by the invitations to FHHS Planning Meetings (sent out regularly to all parents and, by virtue of the Internet, to all friends of the school.) Maybe you wonder exactly what goes on at a planning meeting and whether it is for you!
We meet several times in the school year, usually to organise fund-raising events during that term. We start with a drink (and biscuits or cakes if someone has been kind enough to bring these!) and things are discussed in a very relaxed style, as the photos below show:
There is generally a core group of about 10 people who are willing to give up a couple of hours every 7-8 weeks or so to help the school to plan events that can help us raise funds to buy more equipment or organise activities for pupils and parents to be involved in. Last year we raised £2300.73! Thank you to everyone who helped organise all the events, who contributed home made baking, who attended events, who supported us in whatever ways possible. Your contributions provided PE equipment for the Primary department, radio-controlled clocks for school, 'Memories Books' for Y11 leavers, a Jubilee party for the whole school and IT equipment. We hope you will be willing to continue your support this year and maybe even pluck up the courage to attend a FHHS Planning meeting in future!
The next one, incidentally, is on Monday 12th November at 7.30 p.m. at school.
