HOUSE DEBATING FINAL The House Debating final saw a third/fourth play-off between Becket and Darwin Houses. The girls debated whether the UK should remove all their nuclear weapons. A topic of contention with discussions over whether nuclear weapons had kept the peace since the Second World War as well as the cost of maintaining our nuclear defence. It was ably debated with Grace winning ‘Best Debater’ of the whole competition. However, the final saw fiery exchanges between Alexander and Churchill House over the abolition of the monarchy. Perhaps it was the fear of voting in a Trump-like President which won the day although Meriel’s comic timing and ability to argue logically certainly had a significant impact and a strong reason why Churchill House won the debate. All the debaters should be congratulated particularly those of the younger years who spoke clearly and confidently.
BOARDING TASTER NIGHT Markham House welcomed nine prospective girls for the Boarding Taster Night held on Friday 8 November. The evening began with the girls decorating and painting their own canvas bags. They were then treated to some hot chocolate in the common room before bedtime. The girls enjoyed decorating their own cupcakes on Saturday morning before leaving to go home. It is clear that the girls had lots of fun and that many new friendships were made!
