Each form contributed, as is customary, to raising money for Christian Aid by such means as a fancy dress parade, a drama competition and a coffee morning, and many girls in the upper school took part in a sponsored walk on behalf of Shelter. Arrangements have been made for pupils to enter for the Duke of Edinburgh's Award ; the scheme has aroused widespread interest, and we are proud that, in spite of the short time available, three girls qualified at Silver Level . We hope that they will have many successors. This aspect of school life deserves emphasis because of the recent lowering of the age of majority. Schools now contain adults among their pupils, a fact which was brought home to us when some sixth formers voted in the General Election .
