Firstly, well done to the rugby
squads who had a successful day on Saturday at the second Saturday rugby
fixture of the year against Eltham College. It was a beautiful day weather
wise, and many parents came out to watch their children as well as enjoy a bit
of September sun. Thank you once again to the staff who support the players
week in week out.
Today is the first full governing
body meeting of the school year where they discuss the priorities for the
coming year and ensure that they go on being critical friends of the school.
Both the support and challenge they give throughout the year is very much
appreciated, and so I say a huge thank you to them for their work, their time
and their contribution.
On Friday, a number of students
studying German from years 10 to 13 enjoy a day at the Goethe-Institute London,
looking at German culture, how the language is taught and seeing an array of
different learning materials. Also on Friday it will be our first charity day
of the year. Each year on the last Friday of September we join the entire
nation and host a coffee and cake morning to raise money and awareness for
Macmillan Cancer Support. It is always a popular event with many from the
school and wider school community coming together to enjoy a piece of cake.
Thank you to the staff and students who will be helping put on the event.
A reminder that for the next three months work from the teachers of the MGS Art Department will be on display in Maidstone Museum in a special exhibition celebrating their skills and interests. Do go along.
