This week is the last week for Year 13. For many of them they have been at MGS for seven years, so Leavers’ Day on Friday will be a bitter-sweet occasion. Before that though they have their final assessments to complete. Good luck to them all, and I look forward to the Leavers’ Assembly on Friday where I am sure there will be tears.
This week we are also putting together the final touches to our new arrangements that will be in place from Monday 24 May. From next Monday, we are adjusting a number of measures that we have had inn place all year to return the school to some form of normality. Teachers will be teaching in their own classrooms, students will travel around the site to get to their lessons, and we go back to having a single break and single lunch during the day. This is something to be looking forward to.
Congratulations to College House who won the first ever inter-house netball tournament. Year 12 students took part in this high-spirited event which saw both boys and girls play together. It is always fun watching the boys try and bring the rules of basketball into the game! Thank you to Mr Hughes, Mr Highsted, Miss Wilson, Miss Dimmick and Mrs Coveney for supporting.
I wish to acknowledge the many students I see every day bring their cricket kit to school to take part in our after school cricket clubs. Thanks to Mr Davies, Mr Calvert, Mr Rivers and Mr Johnston the profile of cricket has drastically increased across all age groups. It is so good to see many students take part and see them using our new cricket nets alongside the all-weather.
