SCHOOL HOUSE REPORT

By Tiggy Tutt

We could, of course, not let Shrove Tuesday (21st Feb) go unnoticed, so some of the lovely Year 12s made some delicious pancakes for all of the house, so kudos to you, (Caitlin clearly enjoyed hers!).

The Year 13s had a busy half-term holiday as they revised for their mocks, which took place in the first week of the second half of term, despite the many illnesses that seemed to be spreading like wildfire around the school!

Of course, Mrs Whiddett-Adams couldn't have them go through such a stressful week without a glass (or two) of bubbly to celebrate at the end, well done Year 13s!

School House has also been busy in the evenings, with various gatherings taking place, such as House Acappella rehearsals, which began before half-term and have been running fairly smoothly (despite the fact that no-one can seem to remember what happened in the previous rehearsal!), and Crochet Club, which is more gossiping than anything else (at least for those of us who are not so gifted in the world of stitching!)

It was great to see some of the School House girls join some of the Gonville boys on Friday 3rd for a Beach Clean-up! We were pleasantly surprised by the lack of rubbish on the beach, so let's keep it that way!

As for other events that have been taking place, House Chess is also an ongoing event at the moment, as well as the Year 10 House Netball that took place on the morning of the 8th, with the seniors in the afternoon. It was a great day for School House as we won both competitions!

Also, huge congratulations to Becky Fisher, Annabel McKenna and Lola Dutton who have had amazing success in recent tennis competitions!

I would also like to briefly mention all of the wonderful School House girls who had the courage to stand up in Chapel to celebrate International Women's Day, which was on the 8th March, and well done to Tess, who managed to organise the brilliant video of the OEs.
