Dear Parents and Carers
This week is book-ended by two proms - we had a terrific evening last Thursday at Sandown Park where Year 11 were a delight to be with and certainly hit the dance floor more than any previous year group, and this Thursday we said an equally elegant and sincere farewell to Year 13 at the Burford Bridge.

Tour Guides
We are holding our Open Evening on Thursday 6 July and would like all students in Years 7, 8, 9 and 10 to be tour guides between 6.00pm and 9.00pm, if they are not helping out in individual departments. We feel that our current students are a great advertisement for Rosebery School and our visitors to this event always agree. School will close at 1.10pm on 6 July and all students should return by 5.30pm to register. Light refreshments of squash and biscuits will be available on the evening.
Please click on the link below to give your permission for your child to be a tour guide.
We are fortunate to have two groups of Taiwanese students visiting this summer. We have said farewell to our first group this week. They have been a pleasure to look after and their Rosebery buddies have done a superb job in making them feel welcome.

SAFEGUARDING ISSUE Please read and share
‘Snapchat map update raises child safety worries’ Last week Snapchat, an app which is used regularly by many children and young people, launched a new feature. Snap Maps allows users to see the location of their contacts. This feature allows others to accurately pinpoint where you are. There are three possible privacy settings:
Ghost mode, where only you can see your position;
My Friends mode, where any contact can see your location; and
Select Friends mode, just those who you choose can see you
Childnet have posted a thorough explanation of Snap Maps and how to ensure users stay safe. http://www.childnet.com/blog/introducing-snap-maps-the-new-location-sharing-feature-in-snapchat
