Firstly, I wish to congratulate Christopher Haywood and Thomas
Micalizzi-Lloyd for successfully achieving the roles of next year’s School
Captain and School Vice-Captain respectively. The six shortlisted
candidates last week all performed incredibly well and it was a very difficult
decision to whittle it down to two. All should be very proud of
themselves; and good luck to Chris and Tom who will be leading the School next
year.
Also, congratulations to Max Armstrong of College House and Emma Cresswell of Barton House for winning and coming runner up respectively in last week’s House Spelling Bee Competition. The final took place on Friday and was extremely tough with some very difficult spellings. Well done to them both and thank you to Ms Wilson, Mr Highsted and Mr Amin for organising.
Bad luck to the U13 Football Squad who lost the final of the Kent Cup on Saturday to Ravenswood School 4 - 1. The boys played well and had many chances, but frustratingly they could not find the back of the net. The final score line certainly did not reflect their performance. Commiserations, but well done for getting to the final. Thank you to Mr Terrell and Mr Bing for supporting them.
This week is an important week for Year 13. The students complete their Year 13 mock exams - exams that will indicate to us how they are getting on, but more importantly will provide the students with an indication of where their gaps are. Good luck to all of them.
Also this week, on Tuesday Year 12 students studying A-Level Art are attending a trip in London to support their studies; Year 11 students are off timetable on Thursday for two periods to attend an internally organised Mind-Set Conference; and at the weekend Year 10 students who have chosen to complete the Duke of Edinburgh Bronze Award will attend some training here at school.
We have two big events this week where students are competing at a national level. The first is the 1st XV rugby squad who are playing in the semi-final of the National Bowl Competition. The match is away in Worthing on Wednesday, and I do hope they bring back the win. I wish them all the best of luck. The second event is the CCF RAF Air Squadron Trophy final that is taking place on Sunday 8 March. Traditionally in recent years we have done incredibly well at this event so I wish the cadets the best of luck. All the students involved in this and the rugby match should be very proud to know they are representing the school at a national level.
