Welcome to the last blog of the Spring Term.
This week, to end the term with a bang, we are going to enjoy three performances of this year’s production of Shrek: The Musical. Over 70 students, supported by a number of members of staff, have been working hard since September to be in the position this week to stage the production. This is one the biggest cast and crew team MGS has put together, so a huge thank you to Mrs Brooks and Mr Bourne for leading the entire ensemble. Good luck and break a leg.
As well as Shrek this week, we are also staging a staff vs students sport event that will see old and young legs compete against each other for the most important prize: bragging rights! Students always relish members of staff making a fool of themselves, so some unfit bodies running round the all-weather pitch one day this week will certainly give the students something to laugh about. Thank you to my colleagues who have offered to take part.
Over the weekend, we enjoyed three events where we saw Old Maidstonians return to their school. On Friday, the Hall was packed with over 70 former students who enjoyed an evening of good food and company at the annual Old Maidstonian Supper. This was then followed the next day with the Old Maidstonain Sports Day: a day where former and current students enjoy the company of each other, playing either football or rugby together. Then on Monday, we welcomed last year’s Year 13 to receive their A Level certificates at the A Level Certificate Presentation Evening. It is always good having former students return to their school.
Finally, after another rewarding term, I wish you all a pleasant Spring break.
