First tip for starting Alfriston College. Please do not try to be a try hard. People will judge you so be yourself hang out with the same people because they already know who you are so you don't need to change. If you are new try to hang out with different people to see which crowd you fit in. Do not put heaps of make-up on and don't wear your skirt high. It makes you look bad so don't do it. Guys don't be stupid and a smart mouth to the girls otherwise they are going to beat you up.
Don't annoy teachers. If you get them angry they are allowed to keep you in for 20min after school and put you on kmar. Get all work done so you don't need to be kept in. Be organised with stationary and books so you can get the work done. If you come late to class make up a good excuse or be honest or be a teachers pet so they can let you off.
Don't be afraid to try new things. Try out for music, dance, sport teams, debating club, chess club or other stuff, there are different things for you. Express, your talents to friends and teachers you could be known as the sporty girl, the ballet girl, the chess boy or the super debater. So don't be afraid to try different things it could help you get somewhere!

Dear Mrs Hartstone
It has been an exciting and fun year for me. As a year 9 and being new to Alfriston College, being in your tutor class has certainly made me feel right at home. You have been there for me to give me advice and have encouraged me through out the year to succeed in all my classes. If it weren't for your high spirits I don't know what my high school life would be without you.
Memories I will carry and treasure with me through my life of my first year at high school, you will certainly be there in those memories for the best tutor teacher at Alfriston College. For example on the first day of high school this year, Ashleigh and I were jumping up and down excited to be in the same tutor class and you were just laughing at us and also on shared lunches you would always bring your yummy muffins!
But as my first year of high school ends I have been welcomed and loved by you and our tutor class. I am eternally grateful as you have accepted me into your class just like I was one of your own. Thank you so much and good luck having me around for the next four years!
Sincerely Tiara
P.S. Miss Kelly I didn't put my address and last name due to safety reasons, thanks.

Celebrating Guy Fawkes!!!!
Celebrating Guy Fawkes is part of what our family really love to do. Well it's mainly my Dad and I that can stand the loud noises so the rest of our family stay inside and watch from the window at a safe distance.
The origins of Guy Fawkes stem from events that took place in 1605 when a group of 12 men attempted to blow up Britain's House of Parliament. This event was to become known as the Gunpowder Plot and a man named Guy Fawkes was behind it.The Gunpowder Plot conspirators thought violent action was needed to end the persecution of the English Catholics. They intended to kill the King and others who were responsible for the persecution by blowing up the Houses of Parliament.However as the plan was developing some of the conspirators involved began to have doubts and one sent a letter of warning out. The letter reached the King which led to authorities storming the House of Parliament in the early hours of November 5.It was here that Guy Fawkes was caught with 36 barrels of gunpowder. He was sent to trial and to show that treason would not be tolerated he was sentenced to death by the most horrible form of execution - he was to be hung, drawn and quartered.On November 5 Londoners were encouraged to light bonfires to celebrate the King's escape from assassination. The tradition was continued to emphasise the seriousness of treason.The tradition still continues to this day and bonfires are lit on the same night each year and an effigy of Fawkes is often burnt. People all over the world buy fireworks and watch the pretty explosions in the air. My Dad and I buy a big boom box and light about 2 thirds of the box with our neighbour and we have being doing this since I can remember. The one third left we light up at our batch with our extended family on New Years Day. Anyone can celebrate this awesome night and even if it's just for fun you're sure you are going to get something good out of it every single time.
