Our charity total as of last Friday (19th October) = £89.76. Thanks everyone. Please give generously every week so that we can raise as much as possible to help EllenorLions Hospices.
Remember: If every student donates 20 pence per week (that's just £7.60 per person for the year in total), we can raise in the region of £1300 by July 2013. This, coupled with stand-alone fund-raising activities such as sponsored runs and cake sales, etc., means that an overall total of £2000 is definitely achievable for us.
Mr Jarrett
The competition concluded today and I'm really pleased that the boys won their final match against Brunel. The score was 7-0. Well done, boys. The team, together with House Captain (and coach!) Dan Boucher, are pictured below.

1. Newton (played 4, won 4, lost 0, points 8)
2. Telford (played 4, won 3, lost 1, points 6)
3. Darwin (played 4, won 2, lost 2, points 4)
4. Stevenson (played 4, won 1, lost 3, points 2)
5. Brunel (played 4, won 0, lost 4, points 0)
I'd like to thank Mr Chidlow for yet again organising a great competition and Mr Baker and Mr Benwell for assisiting him with refereeing duties.
Mr Jarrett
So far you have raised a total of £65.39. Please remember to give generously every week (usually form time on Fridays), and do let me, Dan or Tom know of any ideas you have to help raise as much as we can this year for EllenorLions. Every penny counts so please dig deep.
Mr Jarrett
It was another great effort last Friday and there was certainly plenty of determination on display, but unfortunately it wasn't enough to get the win the boys so thoroughly deserve. The final result was Newton (42) Stevenson (0).
Our final game is today against Brunel, so let's hope the team can finish the tournament on a high note. Once again, I'd like to thank them for their willingness to represent the House and great commitment. Some of the more senior students in the House would do well to take note of this.

Another great effort from the team today, but sadly another defeat with Darwin winning 14-5. Tomorrow we're playing Newton then it's Brunel next Tuesday. Let's hope we can finish the tournament with a flourish.
Once again, well done boys. Great commitment as always.
Mr Jarrett
Edward Prentice visited us on Monday to talk about the work of Help for Heroes and receive a cheque for the money you raised last year - £1600.04. It was good to hear and see how your generosity will make a real difference to our wounded servicemen and women. Below is a picture of the cheque presentation.
Back row (L - R): Alex Smith, Connor Weeden, Mikey Eferakorho, Edward Prentice, Dan Boucher (House Captain), Michael Cooper, Tom Percy (Vice Captain), Jock Rayment, Harvey Brand
Front row (L - R): Harry Eaglestone, Albert Amartey, Max Sheaf
Let's see if we can raise even more this year for EllenorLions Hospices in memory of Mr White.
