Firstly, I would like to
congratulate the 1st XV rugby squad for beating King John School,
Benfleet last Wednesday 24 – 17 in the last regional round of the National Bowl
competition. We are now in the last
eight of the competition and are due to play Windsor Boys School on
Wednesday. The players should be
incredibly proud of themselves to have reached the last eight. Good luck boys for Wednesday’s match.
Sticking with sporting news, the 1st
and 2nd XI football squads also respectively won their matches last
week. The 1st XI beat Harvey
Grammar 2 - 1 and the 2nd XI- beat Kent College, Canterbury 8 -
1. Well done boys. Last
week was a good one for senior sport!
Congratulations must also go to the
CCF RAF cadets who, at the weekend, achieved 2nd place in the
regional division of the RAF Air Squadron Trophy. On the way to achieve 2nd place
they came 1st in the shooting part of the competition. They now progress on to the national
final. Well done all and thank you to Mr
Moores for accompanying them.
This week is one to look forward to
as our budding actors and musicians will enjoy putting on this year’s school
production Little Shop of Horrors. The
first performance is Wednesday evening and will run for three nights finishing
on Friday. Tickets are available from
the Bursary or on the door, with the show starting at 7pm. Do come along.
And on Friday a group of Year 7 and
Year 8 students travel to Cologne for a long weekend to experience the culture,
try out their language skills and to enjoy the festivities of the famous
Christmas market. I hope the boys, and
the staff, enjoy the occasion. Safe
journey to them all.
