This week has flown by. Yet again there is an incredible amount to celebrate. Last Friday evening Njegos O took part in an MMA fight to raise money for our chosen charity, the MND association. The whole evening was brilliant, and it was excellent to see past Pooleite William H also fighting. Njegos was incredible; it was a hard-fought fight and ended in a draw. Well done to Njegos for all his efforts, we are incredibly proud of you as always. 

The Chadeyron Music competition was also this week. Several Pooleites have performed and have done so brilliantly. 

On Wednesday evening, Owen L took part in the advanced instrumental section of the competition, and he won! Owen also was part of a quartet of boys who performed at the international dinner last Friday evening, alongside George L, Jayden L and David J. I have heard that the performance was the highlight of the evening. Well done boys. 

The sun has been shinning this week, and it has been brilliant to see football and cricket being played by the boys outside, fingers crossed the sun continues to shine.

The fundraising continues for the MND association, and it has been a pleasure to hear of James C and Ethan J's challenge of riding 250km. So far, they have completed 43.19 km and are looking to push the total further this weekend.
