SHIRBURNIAN SENIOR SCHOOL
CUTLER CUTLER CUTLER CUTLER This year once again, Cutler has shown it is a house of many talents. Last year, the house system introduced the A TEAMM model to give pupils the chance to showcase their talents in a range of activities. Although we have not been able to conduct Interhouse in the usual manner this year, the pupils and staff have quickly adapted to new ways of working and shown how we can still demonstrate our talents in the different A TEAMM categories. Attendance, punctuality and merits have also played a part in the House scores this year. In their usual spirit the pupils in Cutler got to work to ensure they earned as many House points in these areas as possible. Merits were a strong area for Cutler, never dropping below 3rd place in any two week period for the number of merits earned, and the House with the most merits for the majority of the time. In addition to this, Cutler did extremely well in a number of Interhouse events, including the Active events for Year 11 and Sixth Form, brain teasers as well as the recent ‘Who, What, Where’ challenge, when pupils were challenged to get the answer with as few clues as possible. Despite the challenging circumstances we have found ourselves in this year, pupils across the school showed kindness to those less fortunate and demonstrated responsibility in making the world a better place than it was yesterday, through the various charity activities. The pupils should be really proud of what they achieved as a team. We are proud of the pupils who achieved their House Colours this year, in recognition of their years of hard work and dedication to Cutler. Well done Rodina Elbih (Year 13) for achieving Full Colours and to Kashmala Afridi, Areen Al Hyassat (Year 12) and Abdulrahman Al Subaiey (Year 10) for achieving Half Colours. This brings to the end my 4th Year as Head of Cutler and each and every year I am proud to see the teamwork and resilience the House shows. This year has provided more challenges than ever for our pupils and they have persevered to the very end. It is with great sadness that I will not be returning to Sherborne next year and I wish the pupils the very best of luck. Miss. Cobo will take over as the new Head of Cutler House and I wish her all the best of luck, although, really, she is the lucky one to be taking over such a diverse and wonderful House.
