HT Blog - Tuesday 2 December 2024
I cannot believe we have already reached
the month of December. The Christmas
tree is up in the Big Hall, and we are beginning to make plans for the end of
term. But before we break for the
Christmas holiday there are still three weeks to go.
This week Year 8 take part in two
days of activities to begin thinking about what they might be interested in
doing after they leave school. I am
sure, like me, the students have very little idea of what they want to do in
the future, but the work they will be doing over these two days will help them
consider what their strengths are and what they might like to study at GCSE.
Yesterday we welcomed again students
and their families from outside MGS who are considering joining the school in
the sixth form. This open morning
follows the two we had last week as well as the Post 16 Open Evening we had
last Thursday. At that evening event
many people wandered the corridors of MGS to get an idea of what we do and how
special it is being a Maidstonian. Thank
you to the many staff and students who shared their pride for their school with
our guests.
On Thursday we are hosting a new
house competition: Battle of the Houses Quiz.
Students across the four houses will be pipped against each other in a
series of general knowledge rounds to see which house comes out on top. Good luck to them all and thank you to the
competitors for taking part and the staff for compiling the questions.
