Community Events highlights
-
Community Coffee Morning
It was lovely to see people back together chatting and enjoying some homemade cake at our PA community coffee morning. Nothing more than a chance to meet with friends and make some new connections with Bolingbroke parents and carers. We were especially pleased to get to meet some new year 7 and 8 parents and carers.
It’s events like this that make us feel lucky to be part of a neighbourhood school community!
-
Vinyl Night at The Eagle
We were so excited to be back at our fave local, The Eagle Ale House, and sharing some nostalgic music moments at Bolingbroke PA’s famous Vinyl Night. DJ Andy was on sparkling form, spinning the discs and taking requests.
Rumour has it the singing and dancing was something to behold, but we’ll leave that to your imagination!
-
Chi Gung Relax and Breathe classes
All who attended have been raving about Janet Lindsey’s Chi Gung classes. If you see Bolingbroke parents floating along Northcote Road, they might just have come from her class! Massive thanks go to Janet who has generously donated her fee for the classes to the PA.
Janet is hoping to arrange further sessions in due course.
Have an idea for an event you’d like to help organise?
