What a week. It has been brilliant to see the boys throwing themselves into the many activities that have been organised, and hearing about all the fantastic adventures that have been going on. From trips to Beamish, to surfing lessons, to Newcastle University open days, the boys have had some excellent experiences. 

As I write, house cricket and sports day are yet to happen. I hope all the boys have a brilliant time at both events and do themselves proud.

On Thursday morning of this week our resident tutor Mr Micklem agreed to shave his beard off to raise further funds for our charity this year the MND association. Mr Micklem's efforts have added over £100, and we are hoping the final days of term we can increase this to make us reach the £5000 mark.

We say goodbye to Dr Hughes from Poole House at the end of this term, and I am sure all the boys will agree with me when I say that he will be hugely missed. On behalf of Poole House, I would like to thank Dr Hughes for everything he has done for Poole House.

I would also like to take the opportunity to thank all the boys for their efforts throughout the year across all areas of School life, both inside and outside of the classroom. There have been a great variety of amazing success stories, and I am excited to see what the future brings. The parents also deserve a special mention for their support throughout the year as well. It really is appreciated by all the staff.

Finally, I wish all our leaving Pooleites the best of luck for the future, and thank them for everything they have done. It is not goodbye, but see you soon. Once a Pooleite, always a Pooleite.
