This week’s blog is full of
congratulations.
Congratulations and thank you to all
the students and staff who took part in the 12-hour Crossbar Football-athon and
the Sport Relief Mile on Friday. Over 100 students were seen running
around the field at lunch in the Mile, and a few members of staff, including
me, were seen walking round at the back! Well done everyone.
Congratulations to Corpus Christi
House who won the week’s Sport Relief Inter-House Competition. After
three days, Barton House was convincingly leading, but the rowing event on
Thursday and the Mile on Friday turned things around. Thank you to Mr
Highsted for organising and to everyone who took part. A good week.
Congratulations to the Senior Rugby
Squad who came a respectable third in the Kent Sevens Rugby Competition on
Wednesday. Coming third also meant that they were the highest placed
state school in the competition, which is something the players should be very
proud of. Well done boys and thank you to Mr Hathaway for supporting.
Congratulations to William Luckhurst
of Barton House who recently competed at the World Cold Water Swimming
Championships. Will placed 7th
in the freestyle relay, 4th and 5th in two others, and
came third (gaining bronze) in the individual freestyle event. Overall, his placings were better than what
he achieved in the previous World Championships in Serbia 4 years ago. Well done Will.
And the CCF RN contingent enjoyed a
superb day on HMS Kent at the weekend.
The cadets were a credit to the school and they got to meet The Lord
Boyce, the Admiral of the Fleet. Thank
you Mr Pinn and Ms Alloy for accompanying.
