Despite the heavy rain for most of last week
we were able to put out a full side of cricket against St Olaves School. The U12s and U14s were at home, and the U13s
and U15s were away. Sadly, only the U14s
won their game bowling the other side out for 90 after giving them a target of
117. Well done boys.
Congratulations to Sam Ghinn of Barton House
who, as well as revising hard for his GCSEs, competed at the South East
Regional Gymnastics Championships this weekend and won. He is now the U18
Regional Champion winning gold on high bar, vault and parallel bars and silver
on pommel, rings and floor. Fantastic
news. Well done Sam.
This week is another busy week for the school.
On Wednesday, Thursday and Friday of this week
we put on three nights of the production Bugsy Malone. For months students and staff have been
preparing for the show, but there has been little evidence of custard pies being
launched all over the place! Let’s wait
and see what happens on opening night.
The show starts at 7pm and tickets can be purchased from the Bursary.
Also this week the GCSE and A-Level Art
Exhibition takes place. To complement
the production visitors will be able to enjoy three days of art work produced
by our budding artists for their respective examinations. The Art Exhibition is always something I
enjoy going to. The opening is on
Wednesday and starts at 4pm. Do come
along.
At the weekend the year 10 students who have
chosen to take part in the Duke of Edinburgh Bronze Award will complete their
assessed expedition. Up to 100 boys will
be roaming the country lanes and footpaths of Kent hoping to get back to their
start point. Good luck to them all,
thank you to the staff who will be supervising them, and fingers crossed for
good weather.
