This Saturday there will be a trip to Bath! We hope that all students will want to come along – Teacher John will be meeting everyone at 9am on Saturday morning (14th April) at Portsmouth Harbour train station. Tickets will cost £16.50, though this price is only available for groups of four people (usually the price is £32 for a return ticket). Students will be returning around 6pm in Portsmouth, and should remember to bring spending money with them if they want to buy any food or do any shopping. Bath is a very old, beautiful and historic city. John will be taking students on a tour around the town and then to the famous Roman Baths for which the city is named. The entrance fee to the Roman Baths will be around £10, but is well worth a visit and is thought by many people to be one of the biggest tourist attractions in the UK. Look forward to seeing you there!

A few of the bowling gang.
Thanks to all the students and to Teacher Alex for a great night on Thursday. Everyone had a lot of fun and we definitely have some amazing bowlers at the school! Perhaps we should start a league….?

After more than a week of campaigning, election posters, political debates and speeches, we now have a newly elected Student Representative! Congratulations to Abdullah who will now be responsible for conveying the thoughts and feelings of the student body to the faculty. If any student has any ideas, any problems, needs or wishes, Abdullah will be there to help you (along with the rest of the Meridian School staff, of course). We’d also like to say a big well done to Sultan, who made a great run and made a fantastic candidate, and finally, a big thank you to all the students who got involved and voted for their leader. Your first meeting with your student representative will be at 12.30pm, Tuesday 13th, 2010.
Our Friendly Candidates
Abdullah and Sultan celebrating!

We had a lovely, sunny day to explore London last Saturday. Everyone had a great time, and the school would like to thank everyone who joined us. The highlights of the day were Big Ben, Buckingham Palace, the changing of the Guard, and of course, the lovely sunshine!
