A tight-knit House fully supportive of each other
coconut shy! All the events were popular and everyone got behind us to raise money for the Laini Saba School. The money raised in these events and other events, such as the Christmas carol service, totalled approximately £1500. During the year, we also had the House cross country event where some of us braved the 5k, while others took the opportunity to dress up and run a little less! It was a fun event as usual with many teachers dressing up and getting highly competitive. Special mention must go to Amie Gould, Cara Gould, Lily Olver and Charlotte Proos who came 1st, 3rd, 5th and 6th respectively. Also to Mr Hillier who won the staff race. Well done to all of you! We all came together in December for Christmas dinner and the Lower Sixth Variety Show. As per usual, the catering team provided a delicious dinner and we all enjoyed pulling crackers and eating candy canes together before heading to the auditorium to have a good laugh at the Variety Show. We also celebrated Foundation Day as a whole school and enjoyed the Foundation Day Mass with the blessing of the banners.
Due to the COVID pandemic, many of the House events in the spring were cancelled, however, Barat still had a great time competing in the events that did happen and we thoroughly enjoyed winning! The House spirit this year has been amazing and we are looking forward to continuing this into next year where, hopefully, we will be able to have all of the House events. A massive ‘thank you’ to Mme Maillot, Mrs Manktelow, Mide and Sparkle for leading Barat this year in raising money for the Laini Saba School and organising the House events to make sure they all run smoothly.
