Firstly, I wish to congratulate the
U13 football squad for beating St Simon Stock 4 - 0 to win the Maidstone
District Cup Final last Tuesday. The first goal was probably one of the
best schoolboy goals I have ever seen. Tonight the U14 squad play St Simon
Stock again in their respective cup final, and the U15 squad play on Thursday
against Aylesford. Good luck to all the boys, and that you to the PE
Department for supporting.
Well done also must go to the year
10 students for completing the Bronze DofE practice expedition at the weekend.
The weather held out to give the boys good conditions to complete their
two long walks. Let us hope they are ready for the real thing later in
the year.
Yesterday the SLT, joined by the two
new assistant headteachers Mr Hanratty and Mr Rivers, spent the day together
off site discussing the school and how it continues to develop. It was a
very useful day. Today we are back in school and will be attending the
governors meeting this afternoon.
Congratulations
to Tobey Smith of Corpus Christi House who has just completed his first season
at Gillingham FC and has been awarded the player of the season. Well done Tobey.
Finally, we were very sorry
to hear of the deaths of Harry and Beth over this weekend and we send our sincere
condolences to their families and friends. Harry left MGS at the end
of Year 11 in 2014 and went to St Simon Stock School to continue his education;
Beth joined MGS from Invicta Grammar School to undertake her 6th Form education
with us. They are both remembered with much fondness by the staff who
knew them here at MGS.
