235 SPRING NEWSLETTER 2024 Options Evening It is a really useful event because it allows students and parents to get a better understanding of all the courses on offer and also gives information about the options selection process. There are also options videos available on the options page on the website which students and parents can watch for more information about the course content and assessment criteria. Following the options evening, students and parents are invited to a consultation appointment with their form teacher or a member of the year team where they can discuss their options choices further before making final decisions. Thank you to all that attended the event last night, we hope you found it useful. Options evening provides the opportunity for students and parents to meet with all the different subject teachers, see what each course offers, and answer any questions they might have. Fundraising Mrs Crosby, a recently retired PE teacher at Thornleigh took part in a ‘Trek the Sahara’ fundraiser for Bolton Hospice In February. The trek saw Maria walk up to 20km per day as she battled scorching temperatures, scaled sand dunes and slept in a tent in the desert! She raised an amazing £4687 in total. Mr Hughes, who teaches Science, and his wife Michelle, are raising money for Macmillan Cancer Support by running a Marathon in April! Ms Morris, Year 9 Student Progress Co-ordinator, and her daughter have set themselves the challenge of completing 100 miles in March to raise money for MIND - a mental health charity. All at Thornleigh wish them the best of luck. If you wish to donate to these causes, which are close to the hearts of these members of staff, you can do so by visiting the Just Giving website. All donations are greatly appreciated. Members of staff at Thornleigh have gone to great lengths to raise money for different charities this term!
