New equipment!

The boys took no time to enjoy the new pool cues and table tennis bats that arrived over the weekend. For some reason we seem to get through rather a lot of said sporting equipment!

Oscar says "Thank you" for coming.

Oscar, the House Cocker Spaniel enjoyed clearing up once our guests had departed! Tonight saw around 20 families enjoying a drink and nibbles and chance to meet each other in College House. The post party hoovering was done very efficiently by Nick and Leonie's greedy pet, Oscar!

No picnic for Teddies!

The 1st XV recorded a fantastic win on Saturday over the formidable opposition of St Edward's, Oxford. Two tries from Tom Howe, one a piece from George Davis and Troy Janse van Vuuren and the rest of the points coming from the boot of James Riley sealed an emphatic 27-17 win. Coach Beckett was delighted and singled out Troy's try for special mention.  See his celebration left!

Exeat!

Bishop blesses Prefects and Chapel Wardens

The Bishop of Dorchester conducted the annual service this morning where Prefects and Chapel Wardens are commissioned and blessed. He talked to them about the importance of humility in their jobs and wished them luck in what could, at times, be a demanding role.

Sponsored walk

A rainy start did nothing to damped the spirits of this year's walkers. Some ran, some walked, some waddled but all entered into the spirit of the day.

The next job is to collect all the money so that we can make a real difference to our four nominated charities.

 

Peer Support Mentor

A year ago a number of current Year 13 boys and girls launched our first Peer Support Group. They worked tirelessly to provide a listening service for younger pupils and provided a very firm foundation for this new initiative. This year a new group has been formed (current Year 12 pupils) and casting a critical and skillful eye over them is James Rossi-Bull. James has been appointed Mentor to the new group and I know he will do a great job in looking after them all.
