Celebrating La Sagesse School

Did you attend our school, work here or have children here?
If you can answer ‘Yes’ to any of these questions then this is for you.

Following our recent announcement to close La Sagesse School at the end of this term, plans are well underway to celebrate the work of the school and we would like you to join us.

Saturday 28th June 2008 Open Day 12 noon until 4.00pm

The school will be open to visitors.

Light refreshments will be available but you are welcome to bring a picnic; hopefully, the sun will shine and you will be able to enjoy wandering around the grounds too.

Thursday 3rd July 2008 A Celebration from 2.00pm

There will be Mass in Holy Name Church, Jesmond, at 2.00pm. This will be followed by an open afternoon and a summer concert (4.30pm) in the school.

As plans are finalised, more details of both events will be posted on this website.

Memories Exhibition

We plan to exhibit some of the photographs and documents we have from across the decades. Perhaps you would like to share some of your memories with us. If you do, please send us copies, not originals, marking envelopes fao Mrs H Dodds, “Memories Exhibition”. Alternatively you could email your contribution to the address below. Please make sure your contributions arrive by Friday 6th June. Thank you.

Numbers

We are very aware of the great interest shown by many people connected with the school and are certain that many of you will wish to visit us to say a final ‘goodbye’. In order to help with arrangements, we would like to have an idea of the number of people hoping to attend each event, and especially the event on Thursday 3rd July. If you intend to join us please let us know by letter, or email us at the address below; it would be helpful if you could advise us of the year you joined the school. Could you please indicate which of the events you are coming to on Thursday 3rd July. Current parents will, of course, be contacted in the usual way. Please make sure your replies arrive by Monday 16th June.
