Firstly, I wish to
congratulate Hamish Reilly of Corpus Christi House who won his triathlon at the
weekend, qualifying for a place in the European Championships and gaining
selection for Team GB. Well done Hamish;
great job.
This week is a busy
one for many. Yesterday was the first
formal day of the public examinations.
It is from now that students of years 11 and 13 complete their respective
GCSE and GCE A Level examinations.
Internal examinations for Year 12 have now finished, but right around
the corner are examinations for years 7 and 9.
Good luck to everyone.
Good luck to the U13
Football Squad who play in the final of the Maidstone District Football Cup
tonight at the Gallagher Stadium against St Simon Stock. Thanks also must go to Mr Bing for coaching
the boys all season and getting them to the final in his first season.
Tomorrow is a very
important day as it is the formal leaving day for Year 13. Leavers’ Day has become an annual rite of
passage, providing an opportunity for the School to say goodbye to the year
group. The day culminates in the
Leavers’ Assembly where the students get to sing the School Song for the last
time as Maidstonians. There will be
tears. At this point, I would like to
thank the students for their contributions and service they have given to the
School. Best wishes.
Also on Wednesday,
there is a CCF RAF event at St Martin’s Plain, Folkestone where the cadets
going will enjoy a few hours on the DCCT Range.
And at the weekend the
Duke of Edinburgh Bronze Award Scheme Practice Expedition is taking place for
those year 10 students who have chosen to complete it. Let us hope the weather is good for them all.
