CRAIG HOUSE REPORT

By Jamie Gordon

It has been a successful start to the term in Craig House, with lots to look forward to as the term progresses.

But first, back to last year, the annual house table tennis competition was sensational as always, with Year 12 seemingly spending all their frees practising (Mr Holgate was not pleased)

In this year's hotly-contested competition, the defending champion Josh Ansell reached the final and faced off against Harry Marson for an all-Year 13 final. Mr Holgate pulled out all the stops this year, producing a brand new, state-of-the-art tennis table just in time for the final. Ansell started off the game strongly, but Marson (with the crowd behind him) fought back valiantly to win the match

11-8

In sporting news, Theo Summers and Jaimie Gregory made their Rugby 1XV debuts Vs Hayes, with Theo scoring a beautiful chip and chase try to top off an impressive debut performance In hockey, there are currently three Cronkites representing the 1st team, including Josh Ansell vice-captaining the side, and two Cronkites are set to represent 1XI Football

At the end of the last term, Craig boys represented the school on and off the sports pitches Herbie Sleep performed sensationally in his lead role in Nell Gwyn. Harry Shouksmith and Harry Jordan also played roles in the production, in the band and the ensemble respectively Pupils have also been involved in the various school concerts and musical performances, with Harry Shouksmith’s superb rendition of ‘Feeling Good’ and a Herbie Sleep original ‘Got to Groove’ being standouts

This term has lots to look forward to with the house review (CHAPS) just around the corner, House a Capella, as well as house hockey and football; there will be plenty to get involved with.
