Thursday 23rd July is our final day before the summer break! We would like to celebrate the vast improvement in punctuality with a non-uniform day.

Students will leave the site at 1:35pm.

Please make sure students are dressed appropriately.

Reminder for all students to check lost property before they leave for the summer holidays! Pop down to student services if you think you are missing anything.

We are super excited to invite you all to our very own Matilda Showcase on Wednesday 22nd July at 6pm! Please come along for free to support our talented students. It will be a fantastic show.🎬🎼

On Thursday we will be hosting The Royal Institute at CoDA. They are coming to do some live science shows. The theme is Energy Live!😄

Two shows will take place during the day for year 7 and 8. There will also be one after school from 4.30 -5.30. This will be your opportunity to watch it.

It is a community show so we have invited some members of the community, and you can bring up to 2 guests with you. If you want to bring a younger brother or sister, you must have an adult with you to ensure health and safety.

We would love to see as many of you as possible. If you want to attend, please complete the form so we know how many to expect. You will be issued with tickets on a first come first served basis. If you want to attend, click the link below:
