Last Friday we all enjoyed coming to school wearing rainbow-coloured clothing to acknowledge Pride month as well as helping the Parents’ Association for their upcoming Summer Fair which will be held on Saturday 25 June. Thank you to everyone who supported the day.
As part of Pride month, yesterday we welcomed an Old Maidstonian and former School Vice-Captain back into school to share with a group of students what it was like for him growing up at MGS as part of the LGBT+ community. The ‘In conversation’ event was well received, and hopefully will be the trigger for similar events in the future. Thank you to everyone who came along.
Tomorrow the MGS Art Department is hosting its annual Art Exhibition in the Big Hall: an event that shows off the many talents of our budding art students. The event is free to come along to and starts at 4pm. Do join us.
Congratulations to the MGS 1st XI cricket squad who enjoyed playing against the MCC last week. Sadly, the MGS players lost the match (MCC scored 300 runs, MGS scored 138), but they had an amazing experience playing against some incredibly talented players. Thank you to Mr Saunders for arranging the fixture.
Finally, from Icarus in the Archives, did you know in 1668 the 13th headmaster, John Law, was admonished for frequenting alehouses. Twenty three years later he was indicted for murder, but refused to leave the school buildings until an order was given by the Queen!
