The
Dragon Michaelmas Term 2017
DORSET COUNTY
CHAMPS!
Congratulations to our U13 girls for their storming victory at the Dorset County Championships. All the hard work over the term in building up skills, teamwork and communication culminated in some really fantastic game play. Coach Keith Walters said “I am so delighted for the team - they have been a joy to coach this term and it was a pleasure to see their determination and togetherness. It just shows what you can achieve when you play as a unit.”
LESSONS IN LEADERSHIP
Head Boy Peter and Head Girl Imogen are already leading from the fore and by example, but this term the Prep launched a new leadership and teamwork programme for all our Preppers. The creative and dynamic lessons focus on developing the children’s self-awareness and helping them to explore the many different ways that each of them can demonstrate effective leadership and work together in a team. Children at Sherborne Prep often establish lifelong friendships and it was wonderful to see what some of the younger children listed as essential ingredients in their recipe for a successful friendship, including being dependable, honest, encouraging, and non-judgemental.
PUBLIC SPEAKING WINNERS Sherborne Prep entered two teams into this year’s Rotary Youth Speaks, to compete alongside other local schools at Sherborne Prep. All the teams spoke brilliantly but the Prep was delighted to win the trophy once again, for the A team’s excellent presentation on “Taking Risks”. The B team were also thrilled to be awarded third place for their engaging talk on “Transport of the Future”. Congratulations to all the competitors and many thanks to the Sherborne Castle Rotarians for hosting such a stimulating evening.
