Firstly, I wish to thank the staff and students who ran last Friday’s Children in Need charity day. From selling cakes to the hungry masses to the 8-hour Badminton-athon to burn off the calories, we all had great fun and raised a lot of money for the charity. Thank you to everyone who supported the day. Particular thanks to Sam, James, Henry and Freddie of Year 13 who played badminton for the full eight hours. Good job gents.
This week we begin a two-week period of mock examinations for Year 11. They have been working really hard to prepare for these examination and we wish them well for a positive outcome.
A few pieces of good news in MGS sport:
Congratulations to the U18 basketball squad who played and beat Gravesend Grammar School 34 – 30 at a match last week. It was an exciting match which clearly ended in our favour. Well done to the squad and thank you to Mr Ashenfelter for leading the team.
Well done to the U15 XI football squad who took part in a tri-school competition last Wednesday with Aylesford School and Maplesden Noakes School, beating them both 2 – 1 and 1 – 0 respectively. The boys’ efforts were tremendous, producing a strong sense of camaraderie amongst them. Well done boys, and thank you to the many boys from Year 10 who stayed after school until gone 5pm to watch.
And congratulations to the 2nd XI football squad who beat Oakwood Park Grammar School 2 – 0 in the District Cup. The local derby is always a tense affair, and on this occasion we came away with the win. Well done boys.
