Firstly I wish to congratulate the
1st XV Rugby Squad who played their first game of the season last Wednesday
against Simon Langton Grammar School and won 70 - 0. Yes 70 - 0.
What a great start to the season.
And this start continued at the weekend with every rugby squad beating
Cranbrook School. Well done lads.
Yesterday evening we welcomed
parents of Year 9 boys to attend the Year 9 Information Evening. Year 9 is an important one as it the year
that sees the start of the GCSE process and with all GCSEs from now being
assessed using the new measures, it is even more important to have such an
evening. I hope the evening was helpful.
Tonight after school sees the first
full governing body meeting of the year.
It's more of an administration meeting, but it also provides an
opportunity to reflect on last year and look forward to this one.
This Friday is a very important
date in the MGS calendar; it is the Macmillan Coffee Morning. Each year we acknowledge the event by holding
our own ‘coffee’ morning, and it is always very well supported. Last year we opened our doors to the wider
community and a number of parents and Old Maidstonians joined us over a cup of
coffee and a slice of cake. If you are
able to please do join us from 10.30am on Friday.
Finally, good luck to the boys who
are taking part in the Duke of Edinburgh Weekend this weekend. I hope the weather holds out for you and you
don’t get lost somewhere in the Kent Countryside.
