END OF TERM
This is the last day of term. We will be working right up until the end of term, although we will be
running a charitable collection and achievement assemblies to celebrate the holiday season.
Today, the day will run as usual, with the first four lessons for all pupils (except the Year 11s who have exams). A packed lunch will be provided for any pupils who usually have free school meals.
Years 7, 9 and 11 will leave at 12.15 - Year 7 and 9 from the North Gate, and Year 11 from the Main Gate.
Years 8 and 10 will leave at 12.30 - Year 8 from the North Gate and Year 10 from the Main Gate.
We wish all our families a restful and happy holiday season.
We will return on Monday 8th January, when all pupils should arrive at school by 8.25am.

Resources to support families who need it
As the holidays approach, it is important to remember the risks some of our young people and the community face. Here you can find information about these, as well as resources to support.
Families may also feel worried about money. Newham Money have produced advice on how families can support their finances here and further information from Lister can be found here. We wish you a safe and happy holiday season.
Sporting Success at Lister
On Monday the U16 girls basketball team won the first round of the London Youth Games beating Harris Science 60 - 4 and St Angela's 21 - 18 and will now progress to the 2nd round of the competition.
I'd like to give a massive shout=out to both Sophia Bravo Nunez (Hawking) and Itohan Iriabe (Galileo) for their performance and attitude throughout and to David Adediran (Di Vinci) and Malakai Sandy (Shelley) for coming with the team to help officiate.
Going into the new year both the Boys and Girls U16 and U14 are entered into the London Lions Greenhouse League/ Cup. I'd like to thank all the staff for their support so far and look forward to great things in the new year.
Student Parliament
Last week our student parliament convened for their second meeting of this academic year, and presented feedback they had gathered from the student body on rewards and extracurricular clubs. This will be presented to the Leadership team by the Y11 senior students in January.
