Welcome to my first blog of Term 2.
I hope you all had an enjoyable half term and a well-deserved break.
Firstly, I would like to thank the
staff, the year 7 guides, the prefects and all the other student helpers who supported
the school at the Year 6 Open Evening just before the half term break. It
was an extremely positive evening with many families and visitors attending.
Thank you all.
We return to school with a quiet
week. Tonight after work the staff have a meeting to reflect on the year
so far and to look forward to what is to come. Friday is the Post 16 Open
Morning where we welcome year 11 students from other schools to see what we do
before they decide whether they would like to make an application to join our
sixth form. And on Saturday we welcome the wider school community
into the school to attend the annual MGS Parents’ Association Firework Display.
This event always proves to be popular one. Advance tickets are
available from the Bursary or they can be purchased on the gate.
Gates open at 5pm with the display starting at 7pm. Do come along.
Finally, congratulations to Zachary
Martin of Corpus Christi House CR2 who recently attend two international roller
skating competitions as part of Team GB.
He competed internationally for the first time in September at the Cup
of Europe in Roana Italy where he placed 7th; and has just come back
from the Hettange International in France where he placed 2nd. This follows Zac winning the Youth Men’s
British Championship back in May this year.
Well done Zac.
