“A wonderful assembly was given by 7EJ all about Advent recently – all the form took part. Also we had house assemblies and a teacher brought her dogs in that she fosters. They are greyhounds that she has rescued from the race track. It was very interesting and upsetting to hear about how they are treated.”
