First Friday

After a long first week, the girls of Aberdeen let their hair down on Friday evening, chilling out with some pizza and a lot of X-box dancing.

Welcome to all the new girls to Aberdeen

It has been a very busy, but fun first week at Ardingly College.   The new girls have embraced their new challenges and have done really well.   We have a busy weekend planned.   The whole College have an activities morning followed by a BBQ, then back to the Boarding House for DVD's and popcorn.  Sunday a bit slower with brunch, followed by a Sainsbury's trip for those who wish to go.   The Fifth are off as a year group to Brighton to see the sights and do a bit of shopping.  The Shell and Remove are going to the cinema in the afternoon.

Diana Birthday on her first day

We wished Diana a happy 16th Birthday on Monday.   After evening school there was birthday cake and hot chocolate and marshmallows.
