Firstly, I would like to thank the
entire prefect team for organising last Friday’s Comic Relief Day. It was a thoroughly enjoyable day,
particularly when watching students and staff being auctioned off to be ‘custard
pied’, and seeing Henry and Dan, the school captain and school vice-captain,
walking around school with a two-headed jumper.
Thank you all very much for your support.
Thank you to the girls of the sixth form who took part in the first Inter-House Netball Competition last Wednesday. Each house was represented and congratulations to Barton House for winning. Thank you Mr Hughes, Ms Wilson and Ms Dimmock for organising.
Tomorrow the final of the Inter-House Spelling Bee takes place with students across the four houses competing to be the best speller of the School. Good luck to all, and thank you to Ms Wilson and Mr Highsted for arranging the event.
On Thursday this week we look forward to enjoying a number of students from the Performing Arts Department performing at the MGS Spring Showcase. Please do come along. The evening begins at 6.30pm. And also on Thursday a number of students in years 10 and 11 are attending a presentation from the University of Cambridge to see if they would like in the near future to make an Oxbridge application. We were very pleased this year to receive seven offers in our current Year 13.
And at the weekend a number of students from Year 10 will be completing the first part of their Duke of Edinburgh Bronze Award, and a number of army cadets will be taking part in the Military Skills Competition at St Martin’s Plain in Folkestone. Good luck to the cadets, and for the Duke of Edinburgh students, all of them will be completing two walks learning to use a route planner, compass and OS map. If you find any Maidstonians lost on Saturday somewhere in Kent, then do point them in the right direction!
Congratulations to Hamish Reilly of Corpus Christi who has been selected to represent England in the Home Countries’ International Schools’ Cross Country Championship this weekend. We wish Hamish the best of luck.
