Students should wear their normal school uniform and bring a PE kit. All snacks and a hot dinner will be provided by Sheldon so that students can get a taste of the delicious food available in our Refectory. The day will include lessons form different faculty areas including performing and expressive arts, PE, science, Spanish and design & technology. Students will need to bring with them:
- their school PE kit
