0 YLTLTILY VUL VM T` ÄYZ[ JOHSSLUNLZ OLYL H[ 4VUR[VU was completing the gruelling Cross Country Course in Year 3. One of my last challenges was the unique opportunity to interview Mr Shone during the new Headmaster selection process. We wish him and his family much happiness and success when they start their new role at Monkton in 2013. Mr and Mrs Stafford, this is the last opportunity that this current Year 8 will have to thank you for the many years of enthusiasm and commitment you have shown to every child at Monkton. You have lead this school with dedication, passion and humour. Sir, we owe you so much for setting such high standards and helping us climb the summit of our potential, for catching us when we fall and for your support as you encourage us to achieve our goals. As we move on to new challenges and the dust starts to gather on the trophies, awards and Colours, 0 HT JVUÄKLU[ [OH[ V\Y OHWW` TLTVYPLZ VM 4VUR[VU Prep School – with its many individuals working together as a team – will grow stronger and more vivid in the years to come. 5VIVK` RUV^Z ^OH[ ^PSS OHWWLU UL_[ ^OLU HUK ^OH[ will be our next adventure but we do know that Monkton has given us a good foundation for our future.
