GAMLINGAY VILLAGE COLLEGE e-mail admin@gamlingay.rmplc.co.uk tel: 650 360 fax: 650 605 Operation Christmas child The school is again taking part in this appeal. Last year 90 shoe boxes were sent to children in Eastern Europe. Can we beat that total in 2000? Child Employment Cambridgeshire Educational Welfare Service write to remind parents that it is illegal for any one to employ a child of compulsory school age without a work permit. The law states that children may work only on certain activities, such as paper rounds, if they are over 13 years of age for a maximum of 2 hours per day, with a work permit signed by their Headteacher. WORLD CHAMPION Former pupil Katie Dolling (Statton Y10), is now a world champion as she formed part of the crew in the Enterprise World Sailing Championships. Her Captain and helm won the title in the Grand Master Class. UP, UP AND AWAY! Over 700 balloons were released at this year’s Village Show. So far, replies have been registered from Cambridgeshire, Norfolk and Suffolk, Holland, and Germany. Two have reached Poland, a distance of over 1200 km! £350 was raised for School funds by the HSA, so thank you to all concerned. The first prize of £75 is soon to be awarded.

THOUGHTS...

SUNRISE by Jason Holt Birds singing: Trees rustling: As the sun redeems itself: Once more

Sunrise by Jenna Culverhouse Looking; It appears from nowhere, Lighting the whole world, It has power over us all, Beautiful.

Space by Kelly Cole Beautiful, Far away in space, Red, orange, glowing. Beautiful, Bobbing up and down in the silence, Jupiter.

What Next? by Stephen Bolton They run Into the daylight Escaping destiny Only one thing...Armageddon What next?
