Dear Parents,
The Icelandic Expedition team returned safe and sound from their ascent of Snowdon last Saturday. They had to turn back right at the top because of treacherous ice but what an experience and what a cold place to be camping out!
Another busy seven days have passed and there is a very busy weekend in prospect for many of our pupils.
The Bronze and Gold Duke of Edinburgh groups are have a training weekend, lugging their packs around East Sussex and camping out.
I was delighted to hear yesterday of the success of Zach Lecheminant, who has gained a place at the prestigious American Academy of Music and Dramatic Arts, a world-renowned conservatory and college located in New York and then this morning Bethany James gained a place at the London Academy of Contemporary Dance. 2,000 dancers, from all over the world, auditioned for 50 places.
Many congratulations to Zach and Bethany!
Representatives from Royal Holloway University will be speaking to our Yr12s today at the beginning of their programme of preparation for university application. How quickly they move on from GCSEs to thinking about what degree course they will study.
The public speaking team of Lucy Webb, Phoebe Crane and Isobel Haskell (pictured below) performed very well yesterday evening at Vinehall in the local Youth Speaks 2013 competition. Their argument was that some parents needed to do better and take more responsibility for their children’s education and behaviour. They felt that all parents should attend compulsory, good parenting classes. An interesting concept!
Best wishes
Roger Clark
