Year 10 and 11 Ball


 This evening is the year 10 and 11 Ball and as you can see, the boys all looked very dapper as they headed off to the Dining Hall for dinner followed by dancing in the theatre! All money raised tonight goes to Malawi.

House rugby

Well done to the boys in years 11 - 13 who won the Senior House Rugby today.  After a comfortable win over Upper in the first game, a much closer contest between us and Middle in the final match saw us eventually come out as winners thanks to second half tries from George and Monty.  Well done to all involved.  It was great to win this house competition once again after several years of hurt!!

Great leap from James to secure good line out ball against Middle

Fisrt Night in the New House

I hope you all had a good half term break.  It was great to see the boys arrive back safely to the new boarding house.  There were lots of smiles as they discovered their room allocations and it was generally agreed that we are the luckiest house at Kingswood. 

In our new common room
A special mention must go to Corby's mother who very kindly baked us some special Hall House house warming cakes complete with red "H" and stars!  And a big thank you to Mr Forrester's wife who also contributed a variety of biscuits and cakes for the boys as a way of saying welcome to our new home.

Mrs H's wonderful cakes
The boys will be up bright and early tomorrow morning in order to walk across to the other side of the campus for breakfast rather than simply walking downstairs to the dining hall as was always the case before!
