Activities Activities Art and Craft Club

J, 3, 4

Art and craft takes place in Wednesday activities and involves up to six students from the Juniors, 3rd and 4th forms. During this time students have the freedom to be creative and try different techniques and materials.

The students work as individuals or on group projects. They have created applique bags to take home, clay pieces and block printing. They have also made props for school productions, signs and other big art pieces for display around the school. Students can suggest a particular area of art that they would like to explore in order to develop their creative skills and enjoyment.

Badminton Academy

All

Badminton Academy takes place in the Sherborne School Sport Centre on a Sunday. The Academy caters for those who want to play badminton socially as well as those looking to improve and compete. It has proven to be a very popular activity with students from all nationalities taking part.

Every term the students get a chance to take part in competitions and compete for various incentives.

Billiards Club

All

Billiards and snooker take place on Sherborne International’s main campus.

A friendly and relaxed atmosphere makes the club popular with students of all abilities. Each week students get the opportunity to receive coaching points regarding their technique and tactics. Singles and doubles competitions take place termly and provide a great opportunity for students to beat their friends and win prizes.

Book Club

J, 3, 4

Students who are interested in doing more reading outside lesson time can participate in the Book Club, which takes the form of weekly lunchtime meetings in the Library. Overseen by the English Department, it is run by members of teaching and boarding staff, and it caters for mixed ability by having a higher level group and a lower level group on different days. Each group reads a graded work of fiction, typically one book a term. Every week, they read and discuss part of it, for example a chapter, reading more in their own time between meetings. This is an excellent way of improving reading skills and language knowledge.

Bowling Club

All

This activity takes place on Wednesdays at the Bowlplex Bowling centre in Yeovil. Students choose special bowling shoes and a suitably weighted bowl. Barriers can be raised on either side of the lanes for complete beginners, but this is not normally needed. They are given some guidance in how to bowl. We are allocated three lanes next to each other and the students compete to see who can get the highest score in their lane and amongst the combined group. The sessions usually give rise to much hilarity. Bowlplex also have a number of other games available and sell a variety of refreshments. Students can use these facilities if time permits.

2

Boxercise Club

All

Boxercise is a fun, stress busting activity which suits both boys and girls. It is one of the most popular fitness classes in the UK with over 1.2 million people participating. Boxercise is one of the most effective forms of crosstraining available. It combines the use of both aerobic and anaerobic energy systems with the systematic recruitment of both fast and slow twitch muscle fibres in a manner that not only ensures a diverse workout, but also enhances sports specific senses, including hand-eye co-ordination, balance and timing. The boxercise classes are always fun, energetic and addictive - within a controlled and safe environment. The sessions take place in the studio in the Sports Centre.

Club de Español

J, 3, 4

A new and exciting club during activities time on Wednesday afternoons.

The aim of the club is to generate an interest in learning Spanish and to give students the chance to be exposed to some basic language and why it is such an important and fun language in the world today. Students watch films and listen to music from Spain and Latin America and learn about some cultural points of interest as well as learning how to speak key greeting words and phrases. Additionally, they look at geography; who speaks Spanish in the world and where they are on the map. As Spanish is such a widely spoken language, it is very useful and important to have in today’s global economic, social and learning environment. Gracias y ¡hasta pronto!

Cookery Club

J,3,4

Cookery Club is an optional activity for Juniors, 3rd and 4th forms which takes place in Westcott kitchen on Wednesday afternoons. Six is the maximum number and there may be a mix of boys and girls, different nationalities and year groups. It is an opportunity to learn to cook simple dishes using fresh, seasonal produce, such as apple pie in September using windfalls from the garden, as well as to experiment with more exotic meals such as Sushi – always a firm favourite! We like to alternate traditional British recipes one week and ideas from the students the next. Between 4.00 and 5.45 we chop, stir, bake or steam, clean the table and lay it properly, eat what has been cooked and wash up. It’s a very enjoyable scramble!

Dance Club

All

Dance takes place at the Greenfield Hall every Monday afternoon. Students learn a variety of styles including Street Dance, Modern, Jazz, Bollywood and Ballet. They are introduced to basic dance terminology and style of each genre of dance. The structure of every class is: warm up, stretches, corner work, introduction to music, and then a routine. Each prechoreographed routine is broken down and taught in sections. Every term 4-6 routines are taught. Emphasis is on the importance of energy, rhythmical accuracy, and style. As the term continues the classes increase in difficulty so that each student develops greater levels of skill. There is the opportunity for students to input ideas and create movement sections if they show flair and interest in choreography. All abilities are welcome regardless of experience. An extra Ballet/ Contemporary class runs every Monday for the slightly more experienced students to really develop their skills and push them to their full potential.

Activities Duke of Edinburgh’s Award

All

In 2015 Sherborne International offered students the chance to complete the Duke of Edinburgh’s Bronze Award for the first time. This is a challenging, mind broadening, but fun activity for young people. It has four elements: skill, service, activity and an expedition. It requires at least six months work to complete. Candidates are involved in the Student Council, charity work, music and language skills, activities and leadership. The expedition involves students navigating approximately 27km carrying packs, camping, and cooking their food. They also have to work as a team and maintain a good pace. They have an aim and give a final presentation about this.

Fencing Club

5, H, S

Contemporary fencing is also called Olympic fencing, and began in Italy in the 18th century. The Italian school modified the original Spanish, ‘classical fencing’, and the French school later refined the Italian system. Modern Spanish fencing became prominent in the 19th century. Our students learn how to fence with the three different weapons: foil, epee and sabre. They learn to master the basic forms of attack: lunge, beat attack, feint & disengage and ballestras. Students also practise defensive moves and learn about the importance of controlling both the movement of the blades and the distance between combatants. Sessions take place in the Greenfield Hall with an experienced instructor.

Fitness Club

5, H, S

The Fitness club takes place at Sherborne Sports Centre. Students are able to use all of the facilities in the centre, ranging from the cardiovascular machines to the free weights. Beginners are given a programme to suit their individual needs, and are taught the techniques for various weighted exercises and how to use all of the machines. The more advanced gymgoers receive further advice and advanced programmes to challenge even the fittest.

Football Skills

J, 3, 4

Every Wednesday afternoon, as part of Sherborne International’s activities programme, two members of staff drive a group of students to Strikes Soccer Centre in Yeovil to work on their football skills. The students are trained by a coach, who takes them for an hour, helping them to improve their attacking, defending, dribbling, passing and other skills through a variety of activities. As a result of this, the students are able to bring increased fitness and accuracy as well as a stronger sense of teamwork to the football they play at school.

Golf Club

All

Golf lessons take place at Yeovil Golf Club, a local facility. Students get to experience using the full range of clubs at a floodlit driving range with instruction from a qualified professional. Beginners learn how to grip the club, the mechanisms of the swing and most importantly hitting the ball.

More advanced students learn how to master different types of strokes and variations in shot power and spin. The emphasis of these sessions is fun, perfect for a first time player trying to learn the basics or for a seasoned veteran trying to perfect their skills.

4

Horse Riding Club

All

Horse riding takes place at Pevlings Farm Riding School, an approved Pony Club Centre. Students learn how to ride in the two floodlit all-weather outdoor arenas from experienced teacher, Alison Tytheridge. Beginners learn to saddle and unsaddle the horse, to mount and dismount, to stop and start, to walk, trot and canter, to turn left and right and to walk in figures-of-eight and in circles. More experienced riders can learn to negotiate show jumps and cross country jumps. The emphasis is on safety and fun.

Playstation Club

King’s

In 2014, King’s House purchased a Playstation 4 console to allow the students to play video games in their free time. Playstation Club then started on a Sunday afternoon before the students start their Prep. A number of FIFA 15 Tournaments have been held which have been enjoyed by many of the boys. It has become a very popular activity, and a chance for all the boys, of many nationalities, to share a common hobby and interest.

Rock Climbing Club

J, 3, 4

The Rock Climbing activity is often very popular among our students here.

This activity is an hour long and takes place at an indoor rock-climbing centre called ready2climb in Yeovil. A qualified instructor and a member of the Sherborne International staff always supervise it. The students wear a safety harness and are attached to a safety rope. It is a wonderful chance for students to learn the different skills and techniques required for rockclimbing. It focuses mainly on strength and muscular endurance fitness components.

Running Club

All

This takes place every Sunday morning. The boys and girls are taken out, usually in two groups, for a 30-45 minute run around the beautiful and historic town of Sherborne and the surrounding countryside. Throughout the year, the runners brave all different types of weather, tfrom hot sunshine to rain, ice and snow. The students not only build up their fitness and endurance by coming to the running club but they also learn how to run correctly, how to control their breathing, what foods are best to eat for runners and how to train by themselves all whilst having fun together. In recent years students have taken part in a Moors Valley 4km run, the Sherborne 10Km race and the 5km Race for Life.

Saturday Night Film Club

4, 5, H, S

The Film Club takes place every Saturday evening in the Greenfield Hall with students enjoying the newest films (and some old classics) displayed on the large ‘cinema style’ screen with the surround sound speakers creating the feeling of actually being in a cinema. Students from other houses are invited to join the boys of King’s. Films watched in 2014/15 included: Captain America: Winter Soldier, Crazy, Stupid Love, The Book Thief, Lone Survivor, Lucy, Space Jam and The Fault in Our Stars.

5

Activities Squash Club

All

Squash takes place at the Sherborne Sports Centre. Beginners learn the rules of the game and the different types of shot. More advanced students are taught tactics, positioning and advanced stroke play techniques. Match and tournament play take place weekly providing the students with some fun competition and an opportunity to display the skills they have learned from the previous weeks.

Table Tennis Club

All

Table Tennis classes are run every Thursday and Sunday afternoons in the Sports Centre. Each class involves a balance of coaching and a chance to play games against other students. Students are taught the forehand and backhand topspin, the forehand and backhand push and how to serve properly. With students improving so much, it is hoped it will be possible for the School to organise matches against students from other schools for the players to test their skills. In the photograph students are practising in the Greenfield Hall.

Yoga Club

All

This class is popular with students and sometimes teachers here. Yoga is an hour-long class that takes place at the sports centre with a qualified instructor. This particular class is a fantastic opportunity for students to work on their flexibility as well as their mental and physical strength. This ancient form of exercise, which started in India 5.000 years ago, involves learning different postures and controlled breathing. It helps to improve balance.

Many students find a yoga session relaxes their minds and bodies.

Dance 2 Music

All

The school is pleased to offer ‘Dance 2 Music’ as an optional activity for the 5th Form students. The activity has been very popular, with a strong core group of students attending. ‘Dance 2 Music’ is an activity which involves using an aerobic fitness programme featuring movements inspired by various styles of Latin American dance and performed primarily to Latin American dance music. Our experienced instructor also incorporates modern pop songs into the routines, and creates new dances weekly to keep the sessions current and interesting.

Curriculum Enrichment Week

All

In 2016 the end-of-year ‘Activity Week’ changed format and was retitled Curriculum Enrichment Week. During this week it is possible for students to take part in one of two residential trips that have strong curriculum links, but also offers them the chance to see a country or region that they may not have considered visiting before. In 2016 the visits on offer were Cornwall, UK and Iceland. For those students who either choose not to go on a residential visit, or are unable to because of exam commitments, there are a range of school based activities such as First Aid, a driving lesson, forensic science, cookery and a range of day trips, including visits to Parliament and the BBC. These vary from year to year.

6

Board Games

All

The board games club is a very relaxed activity, which takes place indoors on the school campus, mainly in the winter terms. It is supervised by a teacher or a member of the boarding staff. Board games give the students an opportunity to work as a team or as individuals and use strategy. Students learn the rules and tactics of a number of different games. The games available include: draughts (or checkers), which involves diagonal moves of uniform pieces and jumping over an opponent’s pieces to capture them; Monopoly, a property trading game, and Cluedo, a murder mystery game.

Sometimes chess is offered as a separate activity.

Volleyball

All

The volleyball club is often very popular among our students here. This activity is an hour long, takes place in the Sports centre and is supervised and coached by a member of Sherborne International staff. This activity is a fantastic opportunity for students to learn the different skills and techniques required for volleyball and to work on their current ability by playing competitive matches. They learn how to serve, bump, set and spike, how to rotate around the court and how to outplay the opposing team.

This activity is very beneficial for the students physically and works on their agility, cardiovascular endurance and reaction times.

Committees Student House Common-room Committees

All

At Sherborne International we feel that it is important that students have a voice when it comes to the environment that they live in. Each boarding house has its own Common-room Committee that meets termly to discuss different house-based matters with the Housemistress or Housemaster. The committees are chosen to reflect the student body within the house and their ideas are put forward to the Principal. Past committees have chosen new DVDs, reading books and different breakfast items as well as having a say in the house décor and displays.

The Digital Council

All

The Digital Council is made up of students from each of the year groups who show an interest in and aptitude for computing and computer related issues. Members of the council meet throughout the year to discuss the use of technology within the school and the implications for e-safety and the safe use of the Internet. Since its formation, council members have trialled a new e-mail system for students, discussed the creation of a virtual learning environment (VLE) within the School and raised awareness of ‘International Safer Internet Day’ by holding school assemblies.

7

Dining Hall Committee

All

The Dining Hall Committee is made up of a number of students who are elected from each boarding house. It gives them an opportunity to voice their opinions and desires, for what is served at meal times. They meet twice a term, with members of the Dining Hall Staff and members of the House Staff, and the Committee members share their house’s comments. The comments are then taken into consideration by the Catering Manager, Mrs Diane Williams, and changes can then be made to the daily menus provided in the Dining Hall.

Student Representative Council

All

The Student Council is a group of ten elected students who represent the houses they live in. It helps to voice the students’ requests and make the school a better place. Each member represents their house by gathering students’ ideas and attending the meetings. Afterwards they have the responsibility of informing their houses of the decisions which have been reached both in the meetings and from the bi-weekly meetings with the Head. The meetings are run in a friendly, cooperative atmosphere, and this contributes a lot to how the Student Council works. The Student Council is proud with what they have achieved over the years.

Excursions Excursions

outdoor adventure activities. Risk assessments are conducted before all outings to ensure student safety. In addition to the excursions detailed below there are many other destinations that are frequently visited such as Montacute House, Sherborne Castle and Sherborne New Castle. Of course, not all of these visits can take place every year.

The rationale behind these visits is to extend the students’ cultural education in the broadest sense. They are exposed to a whole variety of iconic British towns, monuments, museums, galleries, theatres and landscapes. Some excursions are more directly related to learning in the classroom particularly history, geography, science, art or literature. Others relate to

@ Bristol Experience

J, 3

The @Bristol excursion is an enjoyable educational trip that allows the students to experience a ‘hands on’ approach to science. With multiple interactive displays and a brand new 3D planetarium exhibit @Bristol allows students to create and try experiments that normally would not be available to them in the classroom. Students are able to learn about forces, sound waves, animation, conductivity, the human body, space and a whole lot more. As the students are conducting the experiments themselves, it promotes a high level of critical thinking as the students try to work out why the experiment hasn’t worked or why it has worked differently to how they anticipated. This in turn allows a greater understanding of the topic which will benefit them when they learn about it more in the classroom.

8

Art Gallery Trip

Art Students

Every year, the Art Department plan an Art Gallery trip for the GCSE Art students, close to their final examination time, so they can be inspired by paintings and sculptures at first hand in a major Gallery or Exhibition, rather than relying on visuals in books or the Internet. This is often a new experience for some students. We usually go to the National Gallery and National Portrait Gallery in London, but on three occasions have been to the National Museum and Gallery of Wales in Cardiff. The GCSE specification for Art and Design does suggest that students experience looking at artwork first hand, so these trips are very important for the development of our students’ education.

Bath and the Roman Baths

All

There is a yearly excursion to the historic and beautiful city of Bath. The Roman Baths is one of the finest historic sites in Northern Europe, and one of the most popular tourist attractions in the UK. Students visit the Great Bath, the magnificent epicentre to the complex and walk on the ancient pavements as the Romans did 2,000 years ago. It lies below street level but can also be viewed from the Terrace, which is adorned with statues and shadowed by the great Abbey. Other chambers to explore include the remains of the ancient heated rooms and changing rooms as well as tepid and plunge pools.

Haynes International Muesum

J, 3 Boys

Not far from Sherborne is the Haynes International Motor Museum. The museum is dedicated to restore, retain and preserve motoring and motorcycling items of historical and cultural interest from around the world.

Students can explore the UK’s largest exhibition of more than 400 cars and motorbikes. From the dawn of motoring to modern day luxury cars and supercars, Haynes gives a wonderful insight into the history of automobiles and their design and engineering.

Bournemouth Visit

All

Bournemouth is a large coastal resort town on the south coast of England directly to the east of the Jurassic Coast, a 96-mile (155 km) World Heritage Site, making it the largest settlement in Dorset. Bournemouth is famous for hosting the Red Arrows, an aeroplane display team, every summer and for its large, beautiful and bustling gardens, which entertain hundreds of thousands of visitors every year. The town is host to the Premier League football team, AFC Bournemouth, known as ‘the Cherries’. The town is very proud of its team’s success and has a large number of local fans who enjoy entertaining Manchester United and Chelsea at their stadium by the sea.

Students enjoy the beach and the wide variety of shops.

Fleet Air Arm Museum

J, 3 Boys

Junior boys from Sherborne International visit the Royal Naval Air Station Yeovilton, home to Europe’s largest naval aviation Museum, the Fleet Air Arm Museum. Contained within four exhibition halls are an extensive collection of military and civilian aircraft charting the history of naval aviation - from the first manned kites towed behind ships, to modern Sea Harriers and helicopters. In addition, the Museum houses an aircraft carrier flight deck experience and the first British Concorde which you can board and view the cockpit. With thousands of other artefacts on display such as aero engines, torpedoes, models of aircraft and Royal Navy ships and a flight simulator, there is much for the students to see and do.

9

Excursions Exeter Excursion

All

Exeter is an historic city in Devon, a county to the West of Dorset in England. It is the ‘county town’ or capital of Devon. Exeter was the most south-westerly Roman fortified settlement in Britain. Exeter Cathedral was founded in the early 12th century meaning it is a fascinating historical landmark for our students to visit. The students also get a chance to visit the underground passages. These medieval passages under Exeter High Street dating from the 14th century are a unique ancient monument and exciting to explore. Exeter can also boost some of the best shops in England and gives a chance for our students to buy things they need.

Fossil Hunting on the Jurassic Coast

4

This is a popular summer activity, at Charmouth beach. A professional fossil hunter gives a demonstration and allows students to handle ammonites, fossilised wood, pieces of belemnite and even fossilised dinosaur poo. He explains where to look and what to look for before we all walk to the shoreline. We are kept safely away from falling rocks. Every year students have made exciting finds and our expert is on hand to identify what is a fossil and what is, disappointingly, just an ordinary stone. After a couple of hours beachcombing we return to the bus and go to Lyme Regis. Here we have a picnic lunch on the beach and then have a fascinating guided tour of Lyme Regis museum. The story of Mary Anning and the exhibits of local dinosaur finds are amazing. It is an interesting, educational and most enjoyable day.

Wookey Hole

J, 3 Boys

Wookey Hole Caves and Attractions in Somerset is home to a series of spectacular limestone caves and caverns. The students get to explore these famous caves, used by humans for around 45,000 years, and hear the legend of the Wookey Hole Witch. There are a number of other attractions to also be enjoyed, including Pirate Island Adventure Golf, a Mirror Maze and a Victorian Penny Arcade. Normally run in the first week of a new school year for the junior boys, the trip serves as an enjoyable shared experience to help the students bond and get to know one another.

London Dungeons and Tower Bridge Visit

J, 3

The London Dungeons is an attraction that seeks to teach the history of London through interactive exhibits and rides. It mostly focuses on the history of crime in London such as Jack the Ripper. Tower Bridge is a very famous crossing of the Thames that gives our students the opportunity to see how the mechanics of the bridge work as well as the history of how and why it was built. The two attractions are in close proximity to each other and so are often visited at the same time to give our students an idea of what London was like in the past.

Longleat Safari Park Outing

J, 3, 4

Students often spend a day visiting Longleat Safari and Adventure Park.

The aim is to broaden their cultural, scientific and historical education. First, there is a coach tour through the safari park, enabling the students to observe a variety of wild animals. Later, they have time to explore the adventure park, which includes all sorts of activities and introduces the students to other animals as well. They also have the chance to admire the stately home. By the end of the day, they will have learned a lot about the place and about the animals, which is a valuable addition to their British experience.

10

Mill-on-the-Brue Adventure

J, 3, 4

Mill-on-the-Brue is a family run outdoor activity centre that promotes team work and bonding between the students. It is staffed by qualified and highly experienced trainers and offers over forty exciting outdoor adventure, educational and environmental activities on their twenty-five acre site. Our students will normally take part in activities such as rock climbing, assault courses, rafting, tunnelling, zip-lining and archery.

Weymouth Trip

5, H, S

This is a popular excursion on a Saturday. Students can walk along the Georgian esplanade or on the beach, explore the quirky shops in the narrow streets in the old part of town and walk round the harbour with its restaurants and gift shops. Some trips aim specially for the Sea Life Park or Brewers Quay, other trips are made to Weymouth for sailing or kayaking in the summer.

Skern Lodge

4

Skern Lodge is an outdoor activity centre in Appledore in Devon. It provides excellent educational, developmental and fun residential adventure experiences. Activities include Raft Building, Crabbing, Kayaking, Climbing, Abseiling, Beach games and Surfing. Our students love the weekend away and it is a great chance for them to bond and work together to achieve set goals. Safety is the prime consideration at Skern Lodge. It is licensed by the Adventure Activities Licensing Authority to provide Watersports, Climbing and Trekking activities. Their aim is for guests to have fun and adventure, to learn something new and enjoy themselves safely.

Portsmouth Visit

All

A trip to Portsmouth can be enjoyed by students of all ages. Time is usually spent in the Historic Dockyard visiting HMS Victory which in 1805 achieved lasting fame as the flagship of Vice-Admiral Nelson at the Battle of Trafalgar. A museum called Action Stations provides an insight into the Royal Navy with lots of interactive activities including two climbing walls and various simulators. Students can also travel by boat around the harbour viewing all the landmarks and various ships docked. Nearby the Spinnaker Tower, at 170 metres is taller than the London Eye and Big Ben. Students are taken up by lift to the viewing decks which offer amazing views over the South coast towards the Isle of Wight. Spending time in nearby Gunwharf Quays is also popular as it has a range of discount shops and a wide variety of restaurants.

PGL

4

Sherborne International students have had day visits to the PGL outdoor activity centre at Osmington Bay. The fun packed and energetic day involves a range of different activities such as abseiling, giant swing, climbing and archery. There is also a raft building exercise in which two groups race to assemble a raft that will float, and hopefully steer, using barrels, ropes and wood provided. Once built it is tested on the water and inevitably not all stay dry, much to the hilarity of all involved. It is always a great team-building experience in which new skills are learnt and a lot of fun is had.

11

Excursions Salisbury Trip

All

This is a whole school excursion which normally takes place in the spring term. Salisbury is in the southern English county of Wiltshire, 9 miles south of the stone circle at Stonehenge. It is one of the many leisure excursions, which combines a visit to a medieval cathedral and market town. Many of our students enjoy a cathedral tour, which includes a visit up the 123m spire tower and to see an original copy of the Magna Carta (a key document from 1215AD which is the first definite statement in writing of the duties of the king and the rights of the people). Students also enjoy some free time to visit the many boutique shops and the open air market.

Yeovil Town Football Club

J, 3 Boys

All around the United Kingdom on a Saturday afternoon at 3pm, many people go to watch their local football team play. One Saturday each year the junior boys from Sherborne International do the same with a visit to see a Yeovil Town Football Club match. The students get to go through some classic football ground turnstiles, see the Jolly Green Giant (the Yeovil Town mascot) and queue for the Tea Room at half time to indulge in a hot drink or a hotdog. It’s a fun and enjoyable afternoon that also lets the students experience this facet of our local community and British culture.

Sherborne Castle Fireworks Display

All

This is an optional, but extremely popular, evening excursion which takes place on the Saturday just before or after 5th November. Students enjoy a firework and bonfire display in the grounds of the new castle in Sherborne.

November 5th marked the anniversary of the Gunpowder Plot, when Catholic explosives expert, Guy Fawkes, tried and failed to blow up the Houses of Parliament. The Sherborne Castle Firework Display is an annual event which takes place to celebrate ‘Guy Fawkes Night’ or ‘Bonfire Night’.

There is also a small fair with traditional rides and a number of stalls for the students to buy hot food on a cold November night.

Thorpe Park Trip

5, H, S

Occasionally students are taken to Thorpe Park, a famous, water-based theme park in Surrey built in the 1970s on a partially flooded gravel pit.

Guests view the park as an island, which is where the ‘island like no other’ slogan comes from. The late Lord Louis Mountbatten opened the park in 1979. Major attractions include Tidal Wave, Colossus, Nemesis Inferno, Stealth, SAW - The Ride, and The Swarm. The park is mainly geared towards a young adult/teenage audience since the vast majority of signature attractions are roller coasters and thrill rides, thus it is well suited to SI students.

Tower Park Outing

All

This excursion normally takes place each academic year, at the end of the Michaelmas or Trinity term. It is either a whole school excursion or an optional trip. Tower Parks is close to Poole and Bournemouth. During the visit our students (and members of house staff) enjoy various activities which include Bowling, Laser-quest and Splashdown (a water park) during the day and finish by watching a film at the cinema complex before returning to school. The excursion is usually very popular and the emphasis is on student fun. It normally takes place during the weekend.

12

Visit to Taunton

All

Taunton is the county town of Somerset. The town has a population of about 65,000 and is one of the best places to shop in Somerset. It has a wide variety of cafes and restaurants. The town has over 1,000 years of religious and military history, including a monastery dating from the 10th century and Taunton Castle which has origins in the Anglo Saxon period.

Taunton is the home of Somerset Cricket Club and our students often go to the ground to watch Somerset play cricket or learn about the history, in the Club Museum.

Cinema Trips

All

These normally take place on a Saturday evening at the Cineworld complex in Yeovil. They are mostly optional excursions and age restrictive. (Students are only allowed to see films suitable for their age group.) There are usually three cinema excursions each term and they are extremely popular.

Members of the house staff accompany the students to the cinema and the emphasis is on student fun and relaxation.

Music and D Music and Drama Bristol Theatre Trip

H1, S1, 5A

From time to time, trips are organised to see plays or musical productions at the Bristol Hippodrome, a famous theatre only one or two hours away from Sherborne by coach. The aim is to broaden our students’ cultural experience, and the trips are led by members of the teaching and boarding staff. When exactly they take place depends on when there is a production that is felt to be of particular interest. Those seen in recent years have included ‘Cats’, ‘Madame Butterfly’, ‘The Lion King’ and ‘War Horse’. The students are able to enjoy the excitement of live theatre, which often then encourages them to take part in our own drama productions.

House Drama Competition

All

At the end of the Michaelmas term, all five houses put on a tenminute show each and battle it out to win the coveted Inter-house Drama Competition prize. The rules are simple; each house must write, rehearse and perform a short play with a Christmassy theme in front of the whole school and tough but fair and experienced judges. There are often elements of pantomime and certainly comedy is a central ingredient. After each house has performed, the judges discuss the performances and decide which house they believe deserves to win the competition. The scoring is out of 100 points, with 10 of those points reflecting the audience vote.

13

Music and Dr Statford-upon-Avon Theatre Trip

H1, S1, 5A

Every year the English Department organises a trip for students of Literature to the Royal Shakespeare Theatre in Stratford-uponAvon. Reading a Shakespeare play is part of the work that the students do for their IGCSE in English Literature, and the English Department selects a play that is being performed in Stratfordupon-Avon in the same year. The aim is to give the students an insight into Shakespeare’s dramatic intentions. There is also an opportunity to explore the town, which is where Shakespeare was born. The performance is invariably inspiring, allowing the students to gain a deeper understanding of the play as well as an appreciation of theatre in general.

Public Speaking Competition

3, 4, 5

This annual event, which started in 2006, takes place in early February each year. Students from the Park School, Sherborne Girls, Sherborne International and Sherborne School take part along with those from Clayesmore, King’s, Bruton and Leweston in some years. Schools take it in turn to host. Students speak for about two minutes on a subject of their choice and are marked on the content of their speech, its delivery and their star quality in front of an audience. They are also assessed on their responses to audience questions.

Contestants may use visual aids and many now use a PowerPoint presentation.

The contest is also a relaxing social event with students and their supporters mingling over finger food and drinks beforehand.

Debating

All

Students learn the ancient art of ‘fighting with words’ in a fun and informal way. Students with all levels of English are encouraged to participate and the motions are chosen by the students. We debate both with and against students from other local schools, creating a good opportunity for students to widen their social circle. They can be a main speaker, speak from the floor, help with research and speech writing, or just listen.

Orchestra Sherborne Joint Schools’ Orchestra is run in conjunction with five other schools in the Sherborne area and allows our students that are musically talented to learn how to play in an ensemble. There are two orchestras depending on ability, with the Symphony Orchestra for the more advanced players and the Sinfonia for the less experienced. Rehearsals are once a week throughout the year with many opportunities for public performances.

The School Play

All

Each year the students have the opportunity to take part in a large scale theatre production, usually towards the end of the second term. Auditions take place toward the end of the first term and the cast meet for their first rehearsal in early January, continuing up until March and the eventual performance. The students learn about British theatre traditions, improve their English and make friends. It is often their first experience performing on stage in front of an audience.

Junior Drama Club

J, 3, 4

The Drama club takes place weekly for students in the J group, 3rd and 4th forms and it gives them an opportunity to look at drama in more detail. The students learn basic performing skills including improvisation, miming, still images and freeze frames as well as gaining knowledge of the theory behind what makes a good performance. The students then have an opportunity to put this knowledge to good use by creating either a piece of theatre or a short movie.

Performance Arts Workshop

All

With a large turnover of students each year, we lose but also gain talented actors and actresses, dancers and singers. To help discover the hidden talent within the School, the drama department holds a ‘Performing Arts workshop’. The workshop is split into dancing, singing and acting sections. Sometimes over forty students take part in the workshop with a variety of skills and strengths including a lucky few who are good all-rounders. Each stage begins with a warm-up, followed by fun and exciting activities to involve all the students and to allow them to reveal their talents. Thanks to the workshop, we recruit a large number of students to audition for the School Play.

School Choir

All

The School Choir meets every Thursday lunchtime in the Greenfield Hall for 40 minutes of singing, good music and fun!

The choir performs four times during the school year: at the Christmas Dinner in December, the winter concert in February, the summer concert in May and at Speech Day in June. Songs that have been performed in the past include – ‘Do you hear the people sing?’ from Les Miserables and ‘Dream a little dream of me’, for example. The choir usually includes girls and boys from all year groups, as well as male and female members of the teaching and house staff. Joining the choir is a wonderful way of making friends, learning new songs, improving your singing and is a good way of relaxing at the end of a long week.

School Concerts (December & May)

All

There are two school concerts over the course of the year, one in February and one in May. The concerts involve students and staff of all abilities, performing musical pieces on various instruments to an enraptured audience usually including the Principal, friends of the school, members of staff and students. If you play a musical instrument, want to sing a solo or duet or are part of the choir, then the school concerts are a marvellous opportunity to display your talent and to experience performing in front of an audience.

15

Inspiational Sp Inspirational Speaker Programme Regular talks include: a very popular careers talk to Fifth form groups from Mr Philip Rogerson, the Head of Careers at Sherborne School, a talk and dramatic sketch on interview technique from

Mr Hardaker and Mr Don Cameron, the Head of Sixth Form, and a talk on Street Awareness and Crime Prevention. Below are a selection of recent talks on the programme.

Standing Tall

5, H, S

Jo Batten and Heddy Smith from Standing Tall UK nurture confidence, charisma and composure from our students in their bespoke workshop for Sherborne International. They aim to raise students’ self-esteem and improve their manners, body language and deportment in preparation for interview to, and behaviour at, their next school.

Dangers of Drugs

All

The ‘Drug Awareness’ or ‘Drugs and the Law’ course takes place at school, usually before the October half term. The ‘Safer Schools and Communities Team’ from Dorset Police deliver this talk. All our students and any new members of the house staff attend one of the two sessions delivered to our lower school and upper school. Students learn about the short term and long term effects of illegal drugs and their dangers. Discussion and questions are encouraged. The emphasis is on education and safety.

e-Safety

All

The E-Safety course takes place at school, usually just before the October half term. Mr Karl Hopwood (ex-Headmaster and E-Safety specialist) delivers this talk on all aspects of E-Safety. Usually the talk also focusses on a particular area like Skype or Cyberbullying. All our students and any new members of the house staff attend one of the two sessions delivered to our lower school and upper school. The emphasis is on education and covers all areas of E-Safety.

Health Education

All

These talks are given by a speaker from NHS Dorset and cover health issues of importance for young people growing and developing. Separate talks for boys and girls are given by health professionals from the Dorset Primary Care Trust. The emphasis is on the protection, safety and well-being of students in the Fifth form at Sherborne International. The sessions give an opportunity for students to ask questions in an unthreatening and relaxed environment. It also means that the School complies with educational regulations that apply to all schools in the United Kingdom.

peaker Program Graeme Still

5, H, S

The well-known old Shiburnian told us about his fascinating life thus far. He has been resident in Hong Kong since 1974, originally as an Inspector in the Royal Hong Kong Police. In 1976 he was awarded the Governor of Hong Kong’s award for bravery for a lifesaving attempt. After 8 years he returned to financial services working as a financial advisor and, after various appointments in well-known insurance companies, he became chief executive of Old Mutual International Hong Kong. Graeme retired in 2006 and now teaches English at a charity school, does voluntary work, takes small acting roles and travels extensively. He speaks Cantonese and has completed a course in Chinese at the Chinese University of HK. Graeme is an avid hill walker and swimmer.

Mark Mortimer

All

The Head of Warminster School visited Sherborne International to give the students an inspirational talk on his experiences of rowing across the Atlantic twice from the Azores to Barbados in 75 days. The first time Mr Mortimer rowed with a colleague, and the second time he accepted the challenge of rowing all by himself across this vast ocean. The talk was illustrated with a series of colourful slides which showed many aspects of the adventure from the difficulties encountered, to the character of the ocean and the wildlife they met. The students listened intently to his adventures and asked many questions.

Street Awareness and Crime Prevention

All

The Street Awareness and Crime Prevention Course takes place at school normally before the October half term. A company called ‘Real World Services’ (specialist security consultants) comes to school and delivers a talk (with demonstrations) on how to stay safe, especially when travelling in taxis, at the airport and on trains. It also concentrates on personal safety and guarding your possessions. All our students and any new members of house staff attend one of the two sessions delivered to our lower school and upper school. The emphasis is on education and safety.

17

Sport Sport Athletics

All

Athletics takes place during the summer term and is compulsory for all.

Students learn a number of different events each week, including: 100m, 200m, 400m, 800m, Shot Put, High Jump, Long Jump and Relay. Students’ personal bests are recorded each week so they have a clear target to reach and can accurately assess how much they have improved. Athletics sessions also serve as a good trial and warm up for the Inter-house Sports Day Competition.

Badminton and Table Tennis

5, H, S Boys

Badminton and table tennis is offered as an option for Fifth form students for their main sport. Sessions are usually on a Thursday and a Sunday. Here, students are able to learn the rules of the games, practise different techniques and play competitive games. There are also badminton and table tennis fixtures arranged with other schools, and the teams are picked from those that choose this activity.

Basketball

Boys 5, H, S, Girls All

Basketball is offered as an option for girls and Fifth form boys for their main sport. Training sessions are normally on Tuesdays and Thursdays, in which students of all abilities are welcome to learn about the sport. From beginners learning how to pass and dribble, to more advanced players learning about screening and game tactics, all are catered for. The U16 Basketball Teams have matches against other schools during the first two terms and the teams are chosen from those who choose basketball as their main sport.

Cricket

Boys J, 3, 4

Cricket is compulsory during the summer term for Junior, 3rd and 4th form students. It’s a great opportunity to learn a quintessentially English sport, complete with some seemingly bizarre rules for newcomers to the game.

Most students have never played or heard of the sport, so it’s nice that every student can start from the same level. During training sessions the students will learn how to bowl, bat, field and learn something almost as important as these; the etiquette of cricket. We normally schedule 4 or 5 fixtures against other schools to test their newly learned skills.

Floodlit Football

Boys 4, 5, H, S

This is held on Saturday nights on the Sherborne School Astroturf. It is available for Fourth and Fifth Form boys and is a great opportunity to hone some of the skills they have learnt during their weekday training sessions.

There is more of a relaxed atmosphere as students can wear their favourite team’s football shirt and there is more focus on control, skills and tricks.

Sometimes even the members of staff will show off their impressive (or not so impressive) skills. There is a similar evening activity for basketball.

18

Football

Boys

Football is offered as an option for Fifth form students for their main sport and is also compulsory for Junior, Third and Fourth form students. Training sessions are normally on Tuesdays and Thursdays, when students of all abilities are welcome to learn about the sport. We have three teams; 1st XI, 2nd XI and U14 XI, providing an appropriate level for students of all abilities. During the Michaelmas and Lent terms, we normally schedule about 40 football matches with other local schools. Sometimes this is offered as a girls’ sport too.

Gym

All

The Sherborne Sports Centre Gym is available on most days for students to improve their physical fitness. Whether you’re interested in cardiovascular or strength training, the gym has all the necessary equipment to help you get fitter. Before using the gym, all students need a gym induction and these are arranged by the Head of Sport.

Inter-house Competitions

All

Every student is put in to one of three ‘sports houses’: Macnaghten, Lapping or Francis. Throughout the year these teams compete against each other in a number of different sports. Sports usually include basketball, badminton, volleyball, football, netball, cricket, tennis, swimming and athletics. Some years other sports are involved such as handball or table tennis. Depending on where your team comes in each event, it will receive points. Whichever team has the most points at the end of the year is crowned the Inter House Champions! From 2015 non-sporting competitions have been included for art, debating, creative writing and so on.

Ironman Competition

Boys 4

During the first two terms the Fouth form boys are involved in the Ironman Competition which tests a number of different physical components each week. The competition tests the students’ agility, speed, power, strength, flexibility, endurance, co-ordination and a couple of sports-based skills.

With points being given each week based on how the students have done, the winner is the student who accumulates the most points at the end of the competition. Then, and only then, will they be crowned Ironman!

Netball

Girls

All the girls play netball in their sports sessions. At the end of March they all play in the Inter-house Netball Competition. The school runs three netball teams for the girls. Under 14’s is for Juniors and Third form girls. Under 15’s is for Fourth form girls, and U16’s is for Fifth form girls. Every girl from Juniors to Fourth form will represent the school on one of the netball teams. Training takes place during sports afternoons and sometimes at weekends. The teams each have at least eight fixtures between September and March with varying levels of success since this is a new game for them all.

19

Sport

Rounders

Boys J, 3, Girls J, 3, 4

The junior, 3rd and 4th form girls play rounders in their sports sessions. All of them represent the school in a rounders’ team at some time. This seems quite a strange game to most of them, but by the end of the summer term they will have enjoyed matches against Sherborne Girls. This grounding is of much benefit when they go to their next schools in the UK. Younger boys also enjoy rounders in the summer term.

Sherborne Tigers Basketball Academy

All

For any students interested in playing extra basketball, we have the Sherborne Tigers Basketball Academy. This runs on Tuesday evenings from 7-9 for boys and girls who are slightly more experienced basketball players.

They run sessions that work on the fundamental skills of the game as well as in-game tactics that allow the students to take their basketball skills and knowledge to the next level.

Strength and Conditioning

Boys

This is a gym-based activity for Year 10 boys, which is used during their sports timetable. The Year 10 boys are introduced to all of the pieces of gym equipment and shown how to use them safely and correctly. After this a programme is created for the boys so that they can assess and measure how their fitness is improving from week to week.

Swimming

Girls

All the Junior, Third and Fourth form girls have swimming lessons from September to December. They learn the basic strokes, starting and finishing. There is also time for some light-hearted synchronised swimming.

The Girls’ Swimming Gala is organised at the end of the Michaelmas term to encourage the girls to take part in a competitive event for their sports’ house. The races in this gala are the same as the races in the main school gala which takes place in March. The Fifth form girls are invited to take part.

The aim is to help the sports captains see who the stronger swimmers are.

Swimming

All

Swimming is on the timetable mainly for Junior, Third and Fourth form students. However, Fifth formers can go swimming on Sundays. During swimming lessons all abilities are catered for, with experienced and weaker students being separated to allow all to learn safely. The students are taught all the strokes and, as they improve, their technique, endurance and speed are focussed on. In March each year our Inter-house Swimming Gala is held and this is where the best swimmers get to show off their strokes.

20

Table Tennis

Boys J, 3

Table Tennis for the Junior and Third form boys is normally held on days when the weather is poor, as it allows an indoor alternative to football. All are taught how to play and score the game and are taught techniques for singles and doubles matches. The students regularly take part in competitions against each other with a trophy being given to the ‘Knockout Champion.’

Team Sports

All J, 3, 4

These take place during the students’ sport lessons and can vary week from week. They are normally introduced during the students’ first term here to get them used to playing team sports and communicating with each other in English. They play sports such as volleyball, dodgeball, benchball, Swedish longball, basketball and indoor football.

Tennis

All

Tennis takes place during the third term and is played during the students’ sport lessons as well as on Sundays for three hours. All abilities are catered for with lessons split into four ability levels. For the better players, we also have fixtures against other schools and an Inter-house Competition. On Sundays everyone is welcome to come down and play, from those that want to have a competitive match to those who want to try the sport for the first time and have a ‘hit and a giggle.’

Volleyball

All J, 3, 4

Volleyball is held during students’ sport lessons in the first term. The game, skills and techniques are introduced to those who haven’t played before to get them used to playing competitive matches. This all serves as good practice for the Inter-house Volleyball Tournament at the end of the first term.

Water Polo

All

This sport is available to boys who show an aptitude for the sport and go along to training with the Sherborne School team each week at the Sports Centre pool. Appropriate techniques and tactics are taught and students are then able to play matches against schools such as Winchester and Marlborough. Four boys did this in 2014-2015.

21

Events Events

The events described below happen most years. Other events include History trips to France to see sites associated with the two World Wars and visits to Sherborne or the School by members of royal households.

Regular events for charity include Jeans for Genes Day, Operation Christmas Child, Red Nose Day, the staff Pancake Race and

the World’s Biggest Coffee Morning.

Other events are linked to special events in Britain such as the Queen’s Jubilee and the Olympics in 2012. The School sometimes hosts events such as the Public Speaking Competition for International Students.

Chinese New Year Dinner

All

Sherborne International celebrates the Chinese New Year each year by visiting a local Chinese restaurant for a delicious meal.

Spread over three evenings, all of the students and members of pastoral staff are able to enjoy the festivities and a four course banquet. There is a wide variety of excellent food that includes a delicious mixed starter, crispy aromatic duck, sizzling beef in black bean sauce, sweet and sour chicken, prawns with asparagus, lemon chicken and sweet toffee apples or bananas for dessert.

Christmas Dinner

All

The annual school Christmas Dinner takes place in the Sherborne School Dining Hall on the last Tuesday evening of the Michaelmas term. All our students attend this event and there are always many guests invited, including the Heads of Sherborne School and Sherborne Girls and some governors. The School choir performs before the meal and there are speeches and a toast during and at the end of the meal. The Christmas dinner helps our students to understand part of British tradition and culture, and is also good preparation for their next school. The emphasis is on tradition and fun, whilst helping to educate international students on the traditions of British Independent Schools.

End-of-term Discos

All

At the end of the Autumn and Spring Terms the School holds a disco in the Greenfield Hall. The hall is completely transformed with extra lights and glow sticks. A local DJ plays all the students’ favourite tracks as the boys and girls dance their hearts out for a final farewell before the end of term.

22

Girls’ Fun Day

Girls

This is a teambuilding day held on the first Sunday after the girls arrive in September. It involves everyone working in teams to solve physical problems. The girls are in mixed age and mixed nationality groups to encourage them to speak English and make new friends. Mowat girls as well as those from Westcott take part.

The event is held in the garden of Westcott House. Lunch is a barbecue provided by the school dining hall.

Skiing Trip to France

All

The ski trip to France gives students a taste of French culture in a ski resort. Complete beginners and competent skiers are all given tuition by the French Ski School. The trip is organised by one of the many companies who specialise in school ski trips. Transport to the resort is by coach. The group stays in a hotel close to the ski slopes where the equipment which is provided for them is stored. Extra activities, such as ice skating, sledging, and bowling are also available in the evenings. As all the instructors speak English, this is another opportunity for the students to improve their English while having fun with their friends.

Summer Leavers Ball

5, H, S

This takes place at the end of each academic year and is for students who have just completed their I/GCSEs. The ball is usually held in The Eastbury Hotel in Sherborne where the lovely gardens provide a lovely backdrop to the many photographs and memories of the night. Girls and boys alike enjoy the opportunity to dress up in ball gowns and dinner jackets and spend time with the friends that they have made during their time at Sherborne.

Students and staff are welcomed by canapes and an outdoor entertainer. They then enjoy a three course meal with a magician for entertainment, followed by a disco.
