POWELL HOUSE REPORT

After a restful and well-deserved Christmas holiday, the boys are pleased to be back and excited for the start of the new term and to be cracking on with school once again.

A round of applause must go to the Year 11s, who have managed to tackle their GCSE mocks during the first two weeks of this term All of the boys seem to have been well prepared and most have said they went well The Upper Sixth will also soon be beginning their mocks the week after half term

On the sports field, Powell's very own Oliver Wigman has successfully made his way into the 'Lambs' rugby squad, which includes some great players from schools from all around the country. Also, a massive well done to Fred Jensen and Oliver May who have been playing for the 1st XI hockey team, helping their team to take a firm 7-2 victory over Bedes and a 5-1 victory over Whitgift.

The newly purchased chess boards have proved to be very successful, especially with the Upper Sixth boys, who have been spending more time playing chess than anything else The boys in Powell are currently looking forward to our house dinner, which is taking place in a few week's time, and also to the numerous events taking place later on in the term
