You would have noticed the expansion of our Interhouse activities covering diverse ranges of pupils’ skills. Indeed, Heads of House have continued to work tirelessly this year to include a complete virtual schedule based on Howard Gardner multiple intelligences theory. With this in mind, Cook House pupils effectively participated in the numerous whole school Interhouse competitions dedicated to ATEAM (Active, Technological, Employable, Artistic and Mindful). I was thrilled to see how hard-working and devoted each of Cook House’s teachers were in preparation of Interhouse as well as our first ever online charity week this year. All members of Cook House passionately took part in Interhouse and this culminated in being a tremendous success by securing the second/ third positions the entire year! Every Cook pupil gave it their best including during the complete remote learning weeks. Huge well done from me to all Cook pupils!

I also would like to thank member of Cook staff for an amazing year again! Sad goodbyes to Mrs. Jones who has been a Cook tutor for five years. We wish her all the best.

‘I have enjoyed my time as House Captain extremely. I have learnt many skills that I will utilise in my future, working closely with my Head of House (Miss Khayari ) and my Vice-Captain (Bouchra). I would like to thank them both. I loved being part of such a supportive house and wish every member of Cook House the absolute best.’

“Although school has been online this year, Interhouse has still found a way to connect us as a House and has allowed us to maintain a team spirit. What I enjoyed most is the team activities as I found myself speaking to people I would normally not get to speak to around school.”
Shaheen Thamir Al Shaheen, 12B
“Interhouse this term was really fun, allowing us to engage and work together more, while letting us have an enjoyable and relaxing time. I especially enjoyed the games about languages, which expanded my knowledge and I got to see how connected different languages are! It was nice to talk and discuss diverse cultures and languages in class with my peers from around the world.”
Ada Sarisakal, 10D
“I think that Interhouse this year has been very entertaining. I liked all the activities and quizzes we get to do together; I think it’s nice that at the end of the week we can do something fun.”
Aleena Ghaffar, 10E
“Interhouse has been really enjoyable since there was a different activity each week. In particular I especially enjoyed the educational activities such as the language and Ramadan activity’.
