Well done to Callum Stringfellow, Jackson Harte and Rory Dunn for their applications and I wish them well in their new role as Big Brothers to the Year 5 and 6 boys.
It was great to see so many boys involved in sports this term, with many games being played right across the South East on a Saturday. Even though it wasn’t a normal season I’m sure they all appreciated the efforts from the Sport Office to be engaged in an activity.
Well done to the Year 12s for continuing to show resilience during this crazy year. They have adapted well, stayed positive and used their initiative to make the best out of the year. I wish them all the best for the holidays, which should be a balance between study, rest and recreation.
