Firstly, I would like to congratulate the U14 and U15 football squads for winning their respective Maidstone District Cup finals last week. The U15 squad beat Aylesford School 3 – 0 and the U14 squad beat The Malling School 4 – 3 on penalties after a 2 – 2 draw. Well done to all the players, and thank you to Mr Smith and Mr Hughes respectively for coaching the players all season. We now wish the U13 football squad the best of luck as they are playing in their cup final tonight.
Last week Year 9 enjoyed two and a half days taking part in the Year 9 Business Challenge. From planning a new development for Maidstone town centre to managing the highways across Kent, the students took part in a number of different tasks that saw them consider a variety of diverse challenges in the business world. Thank you to everyone who was involved in organising the Challenge, and to the many outside presenters who facilitated the sessions.
This week our Year 9 Curriculum Extra Lecture Programme continues with Mrs Brooks presenting a lecture in the performing arts field. These lectures have been designed for Year 9 to continue their interest and understanding in the wider curriculum that MGS has always offered.
