THE QUAINTON HERALD Issue 105 – 26th November 2021
HEADMASTER'S MESSAGE Dear Parents, It is so enjoyable that parents are now once again able to come into school to celebrate their children’s achievements and progress. There are only thirteen working days between now and the end of term and there is much to do and see! We very much look forward to welcoming you all to the various events that are taking place in the coming weeks and ask you to keep a keen eye on the Herald for details of timings and arrangements for the many events we have planned. On Monday, the Chamber Choir travelled to John Lyon to record their pieces for the Barnardo’s National Choir Competition 2022. By all accounts, they sang exceptionally well and we keep our fingers firmly crossed in the hope of making the final cut! On the theme of music, the School was thoroughly entertained on Tuesday morning with a superb violin performance by Karun K who is in the lower sixth at John Lyon. He captivated the audience with Tchaikovsky’s Chanson Triste. Following his performance, the School sang ‘Try Everything’ and we all felt collectively ‘lifted’ by the wonderful performances. Thursday brought the whole school together for the M&M production of Snow White. The children enjoy these productions and they provide a little light relief during what is a very busy term. I would like to thank Fr Mike for organising this event for the children and for helping us all get into the pantomime spirit. We ended the week with a super assembly from Year 3JC. Their performance was a wonderful insight in to the history of ‘Thanksgiving’. The assemblies take a lot of time to both plan and prepare and I thank 3JC and Ms Campion for making the end of the week so entertaining and informative. It provided us all with the opportunity to pause and reflect on all the things for which we should be thankful. Our Advent Concert will take place at Trinity Church on the evening of 10th December. This is an important date in our school calendar and I would like to remind parents that it is a compulsory event, which we expect all children in Year 3 to Year 6 to attend.
