POWELL HOUSE REPORT

Powell House has seen a busy start to the second half of term.

We've seen preparations for the incredible Powell House concert on the first Saturday after half term, house singing just before half term and recently Year 9 Drama.

The Powell House Concert went very well, and included the Year 9s' drama sketch of Harry Potter, the Year 10s with their take on adverts, the Year 11s ’ gameshow, the Year 12s' dance and the Year 13s ’ rendition of Strictly Come Dancing (Strictly Powell Dancing) hosted by Oli Wigman. A special mention must go to the soloists: Ben Young, Harry Evans, Daniel Guldemond, Matthew Wakefield, Dimitri Bykov and Fred Jensen. House singing was surprisingly successful. However, many believed we were completely robbed of being placed in the top 3. Anyway, the boys performed extremely well and we clearly showed the most spirit, despite us having some slightly questionable vocals at times.

Year 12 pupil Oliver Edmead has recently been awarded the Prestigious Ward and Buke Arkwright Engineering scholarship, which is a huge achievement.

A number of boys have also had great successes with their performances in the Live Lounge Concert which was an amazing event.
