The main focus of this week is preparing for Friday’s Beginning
of Year Service and Upper School Speech Day.
On Friday we acknowledge both the beginning of year and the successes of
last year’s Year 11 to 13 year groups, particularly wishing the out-going
students all good fortune as they move from being a Maidstonian to an Old
Maidstonian.
At the weekend the U13, 14 and 15 rugby squads played
Wilmington Grammar School in their first game of the season and all sadly
lost. I was particularly impressed with
the U14 boys though as they were asked to join in with the U15 game. Despite the result it was good character
building for them!
Also this week Year 11 enjoy a day out fulfilling some
geography fieldwork, and Year 12 students and their parents are invited in to
attend an Information Evening on Thursday to hear about the coming year. At this, and other evenings for all other
year groups, I will be updating everyone on where we are with regards to the
current building projects which are taking place over the next three
years. I look forward to meeting you all
over the coming weeks.
