A huge thank you to Mr Norton, Corpus Christi House and all of the students and staff who took part in last Friday’s Lip-Sync Battle. An eclectic mix of performances and music genres were on show for everyone to enjoy, from Kylie Minogue to Queen. In addition to this musical event we also enjoyed the MGS Summer Showcase on Thursday. The audience enjoyed music from John Williams’s film scores to an extract from Macbeth. Thank you to Mrs Brooks, Mr Bourne and Mrs Edwards, and to all of the students who took part and helped make it happen.
This week is Extended Learning Week. Years 7 to 9 are busy enjoying a variety of different activities across the country and beyond, and years 10 and 12 are taking part in some valuable work experience. Extended Learning Week has been in place for 10 years now. It is week where Maidstonians broaden their learning experiences to complement their normal classroom ones. I hope everyone; staff and students value the week and get the best out of it.
Tomorrow, Jamie, our head chef, competes in the final of the School Chef of the Year. Over 2000 applicants entered the competition, and now the last 12 take part in the final in Birmingham. The School Chef of the Year competition aims to show off the high quality of school meals and the contribution they make to the health and wellbeing of young people. We wish Jamie the best of luck and hope his two-course meal choice wows the judges.
