This morning's assembly began with a presentation from the 3rd Form, who went on a very exciting trip to the Intech Science Centre, Winchester on Monday 16th January. K Lavelle, L Mackenzie, R Pope, A Harris, T Ruparel, Z Ahmed, A Leney, W Morley, and J Williams described to us what it was like inside the planetarium and what they learnt from some of the exhibits.

This week the 5th and 6th Form had their first football match of the season against Dulwich Prep, a tough side. Mr Granville was very pleased with their performance and team spirit, mentioning particularly the 1st and 2nd XI, who both managed to draw 1-1, and the 4th XI who won 2-1. He was also thrilled to announce the newly appointed Captain of Football, E Pycroft.
Mr Smith reminded the boys about the new lost property system (check in the corridor outside the sports hall NOT the staff room), that the 3rd and 4th Form are competing in their inter-house cross country race this afternoon and that in this weather boys should be wearing swimming trunks underneath their games kit.
Finally Mr Doggart told the boys about last night's Argosy talk, which was delivered by Colin Javens, an inspiring man who refused to give up on his dream to drive home to Cape Town when he became paralysed, aged 20. He told the boys about how a car was built for him and how his expedition was a world first for anybody with his level of disability, raising over half a million pounds for spinal research charities. His message was twofold: to live your dreams and keep your friends. Photographs and a write-up by one of the boys will be online soon.
