FROM THE HEAD'S DESK
Congratulations to the boys in the Panto and the Youth Speaks, the Panto's were all brilliant and very entertaining and whilst we came second in the Intermediate Youth Speaks the presentation on Coca Cola versus Pepsi was inspired, well done to all participants.
The feedback I have had from the Drugs Fam presentation is that it was informative, thought provoking and compelling, my thanks to all involved.
The IGCSEs continue with English next week for Year 11, good luck to them and we have our first meeting for boys wishing to travel to Canada in the summer of 2018 on rugby tour next Wednesday, a great opportunity!
And a quote to recognise what is happening in Washington.
What Washington needs is adult supervision. Barack Obama
