Thank
you to the students and staff of Corpus Christi House who led the charity day
last Friday. Despite the damp and cold
conditions fun was had by all, particularly at the main event at lunchtime
where staff and students performed songs from the 1970s and 80s. The rendition of Bon Jovi’s Living On A
Prayer will certainly be remembered! The
total amount raised was just under £2,800 for Motor Neurone UK, which is the
highest amount so far for any individual house charity day. Well done everyone.
Friday
was also the deadline for year 12 students to apply to be next year’s School
Captain and School Vice-Captain. At last
night’s SLT meeting we shortlisted the applicants based on their letters of
application, but also took into account the student and staff votes that took
place yesterday. Interviews for the two
posts take place next week. News of the
two successful applicants will be shared by the end of next week.
This
week is a busy one for senior staff as on Thursday and Friday we all are
involved in interviewing perspective candidates for two assistant headteacher
roles. Following the announcement that
Mrs Sewell, the deputy head, is retiring at the end of the academic year, there
is now movement to appoint new faces to the senior team. We look forward to meeting the candidates and
hope to be successfully appointing two of them.
This
Friday the Amnesty International Student Group is hosting a quiz night here at
MGS. Do come along. It starts at 7pm and tickets can be purchased
on the door.
Congratulations
to the RAF cadets who took part in the Regional RAF Air Squadron Trophy
Competition last weekend. They won! Winning the regional competition means they
now go direct to the final in March as strong contenders. Well done to the cadets and many thanks to Mr
Moores and all of the RAF adult volunteers for supporting the cadets over these
past months.
