I cannot believe we are already approaching half term. It does not seem we have been at school for seven weeks. The term has continued to be a good one, and one where we have seen life return to MGS. Only on Saturday were we able to welcome many parents and visitors on site to enjoy the annual rugby fixture against Cranbrook School. With it being the last game before the half term we made it more of an event, offering refreshments and conversation after the games. A huge thank you to the players, staff, parents, and Old Maidstonians who made it an enjoyable day.
As well as the rugby at
the weekend I also wish to thank the performers, staff and parents who
supported the Autumn Showcase last week.
It was the first live concert for nearly two years and was full of high
quality talent that has been eager to shine for a very long time. Well done to everyone, and thank you to Mrs
Brooks and Mr Bourne for hosting.
Today we again open our
doors to the wider community and welcome families of prospective students to
see the school at work at our Year 6 Open Morning. Last Friday, at our first open morning, we were
incredibly busy, so I am sure today will be no different. The week of open events culminates on
Thursday when we welcome everyone in again at our Year 6 Open Evening. At that event the entire school will be open
to walk around, see the many exhibitions that we put on, as well as hearing
from me about what life is like at MGS.
As always the people who sell MGS are the students; they are a credit to
their school as well as to themselves, and are our ambassadors. Thank you to everyone who will be helping.
And finally
congratulations to Oliver of Tonbridge House who competed in two Brazilian Jiu
Jitsu competitions at the weekend: The Somerset Open and The All Stars Welsh
Pro. He successfully won two golds and a silver medal in No Gi and Gi,
competing against some of the top children in the country. Well done Oliver.
