This year, in our new school building we held the inaugural St. Julie’s Christmas Tree Festival where different communities within the school were invited to decorate trees in such a way as to capture the spirit of that community!  The festival was undertaken on the initiative of the 1804 Society Celebration Co-ordinator’s Amy and Isobel who also judged the competition element with Mr Anderson, our chaplain.  They were overwhelmed by the intensi-tree of the competition but tried to be fir in their deliberations!

There were some very innovative names and decorations and the winners were:

Best name:   The English Department’s ‘Leaning Tower of Treesa’ and DT’s “DePine and TechnologTree”.   

Best at capturing the spirit of the community:   The canteen’s ‘Dinertree’ and the RE Department’s “NativiTree”. 

Most likely to make St. Julie, our smiling saint, smile:   The LRC’s ‘LRTree’ and the Learning Support Department’s “CommuniTree”.

There was very stiff competition between the above and the Christ-Maths Trigonomo-Tree, the Diversi-Tree,  the IC-Tree and the European Communi-Tree.  

However, the Overall Winner was the “HUMANI-TREE” which provided a whole host of learning opportunities across History and Geography.
