Last Thursday we saw Sports Day Part 2. Due to the change in weather on Tuesday we
had to abandon Sports Day just as the relay events were taking place and
continue it two days later. The weather
on Thursday was much better and so Thursday afternoon the whole school enjoyed
the afternoon on the field watching their fellow peers compete for their
Houses. Congratulations to Endeavour
House who won Sports Day, and we will hear on Wednesday whether they have won
this year’s House Cup.
Last Friday was an important day for MGS: The Founders’
Day Service and Lower School Speech Day.
The weather was on our side which made for a glorious afternoon in the
Quad awarding numerous prizes to students who have made significant
achievements this year. Well done again
to all prize winners and many thanks to Ms Alexandra Auger, a former student,
who was our Guest of Honour for the event.
This week the staff say their goodbyes to colleagues who
are leaving the MGS Community. Nine
members of staff are leaving altogether; some retiring and beginning the next
phase of their lives elsewhere, some moving to pastures new. Please have a read of the Summer Newsletter
published this week to see who is leaving, but I would like to take this
opportunity to thank them for all their years’ service and wish them well in
their futures.
Finally I wish to thank all the students for another
wonderful year, have a lovely holiday and well-earned rest, and I’ll see you
all back here on Monday 5th September.
Thank you.
