It has been lovely to welcome the boys back into the house this week. The week has flown by and once again filled with celebrations and activity. This week has seen the rehearsals for house music go up a gear and we have now managed to even practice without the words in front of us. We are all looking forward to the big day, Monday 18th in the Cathedral. Tickets are available if you would like to attend. Congratulations to Theo R (Year 8) for achieving his medal in an indoor skiing competition during the half term holidays. Well done Theo.

As mentioned last half term our chosen charity for the Year is Motor Neurone Disease Association. Both Myself and our Head of House Njegos have undertaken the MND challenge of 5000 squats in the month of November. If you happen to see either of us walking around a little strangely, please don't worry. Furthermore, Mr Burke will be running the Leeds Marathon in May in order to help our campaign. The aim in our 100th year is for every pupil to raise £100 through choosing a activity of their choice which they can be sponsored for. With 97 pupils in the house and a number of staff also helping out we aim to raise £10000. This would make an incredible difference to a very important charity. If you would like any further information on the MND association please follow this link https://www.mndassociation.org/
