June 24th - Message from the Headmaster

Dear Parents,

The time is fast approaching where we will have to brush the dust off our buckets
and spades and prepare for the summer holiday. This is the penultimate newsletter
of the year and I write amid a hubbub of stimulating activity and enthusiasm.
There are many exciting things to achieve before the end of term. I have just
come from a wonderful Yr 7 assembly where the children, with the help of the
wonderful Mrs. Hoffmann, looked at their ancestors and traced their roots back
all over the world to some famous, some infamous and some little known but
extraordinary people, were all encouraged to make the most of our lives so that
future generations would look back at us in admiration and wonder.
The Year 12 and 13 Performing Arts Productions yesterday evening also . lled me
with admiration and wonder at the incredible achievements of that department.
Will Cousins and Lewis Bennett, assisted by the extraordinary talented Lily
Lindon, gave one of their last, memorable performances and the Lower Sixth
proved there was talent in abundance coming through for next year.
Parents, your children amaze me and it is a privilege to work with them.
I am looking forward very much to spending Open Day and Sports Day at the
Prep School tomorrow and I will be spectating at the Dads v Lads cricket match at
Crowhurst Park on Sunday. Next week the whole of Years 7 – 9 will be off
curriculum for four whole days and will be steeped in the drama of ‘Les
Miserables’. The following week there are two whole days given over to Sport.
Busy, busy days ahead and I hope something for everyone.

Roger Clark
