YOUR PROBLEMS SORTED! - by Julia P
Are you worried about coming to 'The Big School'? If so, read on!
Bullying - Don't worry. It's not a very big problem here and there is a 'Friends' group that will help you.
Getting Lost - There are maps posted outside the main hall and ask the office for your own copy.
Egging - You can fry 'em, poach 'em and scramble 'em, but don't throw them, if you are sure you don't want to get expelled.
TEACHERS - by Yvonne I
There are many different teachers teaching different subjects. Most of the teachers are nice, although there are some you won't like. The teachers try to make the subjects interesting and help you if you don't understand something.
