Firstly, I would like to thank the entire
cadet force for last Thursday’s CCF Biennial Inspection. The Inspecting Officer and accompanying team
enjoyed an afternoon in school watching a number of activities and drills
conducted by the cadets and staff across all three contingents. Once again the students were a credit to the
school and to the contingent. Well done
and thank you.
Last Friday we said goodbye to the ‘Class
of 2018’. The students of Year 13 are
now Old Maidstonians following an emotional few hours in school that culminated
in their Leavers’ Assembly and the singing of the School Song. Thank you everyone, and good luck in your up
and coming exams.
Yesterday afternoon the ‘Family of MGS’
met for the first time to discuss how the School moves forward over the next
few years. The workings of the Parents’
Association, the Old Maidstonian Society and the MGS Development Fund are all
integral in supporting the School to further develop the experiences of the
students.
Congratulations to Simon
Coppard of Corpus Christi House who is now the Kent U20 800m Champion. He has been the U17 Kent Champion for the last two
years, so this event was a huge step up for him as he was the youngest
competitor. The race took place at the
Julie Rose Stadium in Ashford and his time was 1.54.93. Well done Simon.
Six boys in Year 9 are
all part of Coxheath and Farleigh Junior Football club: William Riggs-Sutton,
William Turner, Thomas Rankin, Matthew Taylor, Owen Jeffrey and Toby
Griffith. The U14 team has made it
through to the Express Cabs League Challenge Cup Final – The Jack Small Cup, to
be played at the Gallagher Stadium in Maidstone on 27th May at 12.45pm
against Rochester FC. They have also, just at the weekend, become champions of
the Express Cabs Primary League U14 division two. The parents, families,
friends and coaches are so proud of the boys. They have worked hard the whole
season, playing in all weathers to achieve this. Well done boys for getting this far and good
luck on 27th.
