Guardian Convention
Our highly anticipated annual Guardian Convention took place on Friday Mrs Barrett introduced proceedings, giving thanks for the wonderful work done by the 2022-23 Student Leadership Team, followed by a fine speech by outgoing Guardian Rhiannon, highlighting some of their greatest achievements.
Students and staff listened as teachers read references for each of the 2023-24 Guardian candidates, before Poppy, Natasha, Yaka and Alyssa took to the lectern to confidently present their applications. Each outlined their strengths, described what makes them a good leader, and explained which changes they would implement, if appointed. Some fantastic ideas were suggested, such as the introduction of Culture Day to celebrate Cobham Hall’s internationalism and the incorporation of the Arts into interhouse events.
The applicants then faced a round of difficult questions from tutor groups, such as “what makes you a good leader?”, followed by a question from the staff. Each candidate offered well-formulated and thought-through answers to the questions.
A huge congratulations to all of you for taking part and articulately presenting your ideas with such confidence.

Guardian Period
Monday afternoon saw our outgoing Student Leadership Team’s final Guardian Period. They celebrated their time as SLT, alongside the rest of the students, on the south lawn
All four houses took part in the event, uniting to create team posters for Interhouse Hockey, then competing against each other in a range of entertaining games, including tug of war.
