As part of National Careers Week, we are inviting parents and carers to come into school during tutor time to tell our students about their jobs and career paths. We are keen to showcase a wide range of careers so that students can be inspired and learn more about the many opportunities available to them in the future. If you are able to join us, you are welcome to bring photographs, a PowerPoint presentation (on a USB stick) or any objects that might help illustrate what your role involves. Tutor time runs from 8:40–9:10am, and we are looking for volunteers from Wednesday 4th to Friday 6th March. If you are able to spare 30 minutes on one (or more!) of these mornings, please phone the Office to discuss. Thank you for your support. |

The Friend (15)
Novelist and creative writing teacher Iris (Naomi Watts) finds her comfortable, solitary New York life thrown into disarray after her closest friend and mentor (Bill Murray) commits suicide and bequeaths his beloved Great Dane to her. The regal yet intractable beast, named Apollo, immediately creates problems for Iris, from furniture destruction to eviction notices, as well as more existential ones, his looming presence constantly reminding her of her friend's choice to take his own life. Yet as Iris finds herself unexpectedly bonding to the animal, she begins to come to terms with her past, her lost friend, and her own creative inner life.
