For many people, the Christmas Day dinner is the big event of the holiday season – the roast meat, copious amounts of side dishes, and not forgetting a pudding and drink to wash it all down with! But, this isn’t realistic for many people this year, as millions of households are struggling under the effects of the cost of living crisis.
Hillingdon council is committed to recycling as much of our borough's waste as possible, and they provide free recycling collections for residents. We encourage everyone to recycle more of the right things and help make Hillingdon a green and sustainable borough.
The Rosedale Hewens Academy Trusts Performing Arts Alliance put on a spectacular 3-night performance of High School Musical Jr. The cast consisted of their Btec Performing Arts students who included a cool, calm and collected popular Troy Bolton. A sweet, intelligent, musically talented Gabriella Montez. And, an egocentric, sassy Sharpay Evans, who doesn’t let anyone forget she is the leader of the pack.
The cast worked endlessly to put on the show of the year - well done to everyone involved!
Go Wildcats!
