Welcome
to the last Headmaster’s Blog of 2018.
Firstly,
thank you to Tonbridge House for their charity day last Friday which raised
money for Young Minds. With Christmas
being just around the corner the theme for the day had a festive dimension. Mr Holmes, the head of Tonbridge House,
dressed up as a Christmas tree, with many of his prefect team wearing festive
jumpers and acting like his little elves.
The highlight of the day was the lip-sync battle in the Hall at lunch,
where Mr Holmes had transformed himself from a Christmas tree to Freddie
Mercury! Well done all and thank you for
supporting the day.
Continuing
the Christmas theme, today and tomorrow the catering team serve the students
and staff their Christmas lunch; Barton and College students today and Corpus
Christi and Tonbridge houses tomorrow.
Do enjoy the lunch and let us hope the students eat their sprouts!
Tonight
after school we invite Old Maidstonians who left last year to return to their
school to receive their A Level certificates.
A number of the year group are returning to receive applause for their
achievements but also to see each other again and to catch up. The occasion is always an enjoyable one.
Thursday
is the MGS Carol Service which takes place at All Saints Church at 7.30pm. The Service will follow a traditional format:
hearing lessons and singing carols, before we all enjoy a mince pie and glass
of mulled wine. If you are free then
please do come along.
And
Friday is the end of term before we break up to enjoy a couple of weeks with
our friends and family. I wish you all a
very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
