Can I firstly congratulate and thank all the rowers and
runners who took part in last week's Sport Relief Charity a Day. The 24
Hour Rowathon in itself raised over £2500 and rowed a distance of over 2.1
million metres. The Sport Relief mile at lunch saw many runners and
walkers enjoy a lap of the field being cheered on by the rest of the school.
Well done everyone; it was a great day for the School.
Also on Friday over 80 Old Maidstonians enjoyed an evening
of memories and catch up at the Old Maidstonian Supper. Sam Coppard (OM
2012), the President of the Society, presided over the event with guest of
honour, Robert Lednisky (OM 2012) who is the only Maidstonian to have ever
achieved a place at the prestigious Harvard University. Thank you to the
Old Maidstonian Committee who organised the event.
This week is the last week of term before we break up for
the Easter holiday. A number of students leave today for the classics
trip to Greece, and tomorrow we welcome back more Old Maidstonians who will be
playing in the OM vs. MGS rugby and football matches. Kick offs are at
2.30pm. Do come along.
Congratulations to Hamish Reilly of Corpus Christi House who
finished 3rd in the British Schools Biathlon Championships last
weekend. On Sunday Hamish also competed
at the British Duathlon Championships for Elite Youths. It was a very
close and exciting race, and Hamish was delighted to finish in 3rd place
again. He recorded the 3rd fastest run and the fastest bike segment, and
is looking forward to taking this result into the next event of the British
Triathlon Super Series at Llanelli in May. Well done Hamish.
Finally, can I take this opportunity to wish everyone a
restful couple of weeks.
