THE QATAR SHIRBURNIAN
SHERBORNE SENIOR SCHOOL
Cutler House My first year as Head of Cutler has greatly exceeded my expectations. It has been a pleasure and a privilege to work with an amazing cohort of pupils and discover how much each of them has to offer to this House. The excitement of starting the academic year in a brand new school and the progressive easing of the COVID restrictions allowed us to implement a great variety of ATEAM Interhouse competitions. From sports events to creating a marble run, writing and performing a pantomime to raising money for Charity by doing a Sponsored Walk, every other Thursday there was a real buzz at Sherborne Senior School! A special shout out for the best results in: • Year 7 and 8: design the football, table tennis and egg challenge • Year 9 and 10: gymnastics and football tennis • Year 11 and Sixth Form: Marble run competition and Danish longball Another highlight of this year was the successful Sports Day on 10th March organised by the PE department. Cutler pupils really enjoyed this event after two years of hiatus. Cutler came 2nd overall and proudly came 1st in basketball overall in the track events (Year 11 and Sixth Form pupils) and field events (Years 7, 9 and 10). What a brilliant set of achievements! We were all glowing with pride when we learned the results. On a different note, Cutler Captains and Vice Captains have played a pivotal role this year encouraging our House in every single competition and showing great leadership in different events and assemblies. It has been tremendously rewarding to see the pupils develop different skills, watching them encouraging their House to win the competition, and all the while being loyal to the school values. A special mention should be made of Syed Abedi, Nuran Abdala and Shireen Khan for their eagerness and effort since day one. Finally, I want to take this opportunity to thank all the staff members in Cutler as their hard work is instrumental towards the development of the House system. On behalf of Culter, we wish Miss Mahomed good luck as she leaves us to move to the Girls’ School. The Sixth Form pupils will miss you!

I look forward to promoting the Culter House spirit and striving for our best version of ourselves next academic year. Thank you for your fabulous contributions and participation this year. Miss Cobo Head of Cutler House
‘This year was one of the best years for Cutler as a house and for the school in general, as we could finally do Interhouse physically after 2 years! Throughout the year, every Interhouse I participated in was not only fun, but it also brought the house together and an incentive for everyone to try their hardest in order for us to do well and try to win. Not only did it bring unity to the house, but it also brought unity to the school. Interhouse activities ranged from sports to quizzes. There was never a lack of variety, and it was great finding out what was next with everyone eagerly waiting and hoping it was something they wanted. Some of the most memorable moments from Interhouse from my personal experience were the Year 9 boys making it to the final of both dodgeball and football. Not only did these activities unify us but they were also a great way of ending the week. Overall, Interhouse was a thoroughly enjoyable experience this year.’ By Syed Abedi, Year 9 Middle Captain
‘I really enjoyed being part of the Cutler team and I especially enjoyed interhouse at the end of a tiring week! Each interhouse was interesting in its own way and I also liked leading some of them as I got to know everyone’s strongest skills. My favourite Interhouse would be the investigating and physical ones as they were fun to do! I am greatly looking forward to what will be in store for us in Interhouse next year!’ By Shireen Khan, Year 8 Junior Vice Captain
