Burnside will be closed for Half Term from Monday 26th October 2015 to Monday 2nd November 2015. Ā School will re-open for Students on Tuesday 3rd November 2015.
I have been out to Cramlington Healthwise Ladies Group this morning with 2 students from 6th Form Cherise Battensby and Amy Timmins. Ā Together we presented Ā our Go for Gorgor girls campaign and raised Ā£136. Ā I am incredibly proud of the students who represented the school with pride. Ā The ladies we spoke to were very impressed with our campaign and the lengths that Burnside College students will go to when helping others.

The DofE Gardening Club is in the process of harvesting all their autumn crops which has included lots of fruit from the orchard. The gardeners have learnt to store the fruit correctly and, over the next few weeks, they will preserve it in the form of lots of lovely jams and chutneys; which will be on sale just before Christmas.
