House Entertainment - DODGEBALL





House cross country

Well done to all of the boys who competed in the house cross country.  We were narrowly pipped by Middle in the Seniors but convincingly won the year 9 and 10 competition.  A sunny but blustery day provided good conditions.  Jonny was our highest counter in the seniors whilst Tom won the year 9 and 10 race with Rupert coming in a very creditable third.

Senior House hockey

We were unlucky to be narrowly beaten 1 - 0 by Upper in what turned out to be the deciding game in this years senior house hockey.  Despite dominating the match and having four short corners and the majority of the possession we just could not score past the Upper keeper.  We made up for it against Middle managing to score four times to secure second place this year.  Well done to all of the boys who took part.
Words of wisdom from our Head boy!

Out to stop Middle scoring from a short corner


The team

Duke of Edinburgh

This weekend the year 10 students had their first Duke of Edinburgh expedition practice.  I happened to bump into several of them as they set off, on my way up to watch the senior house hockey competition!


MUN

Several of the boys from the house took part in the Model United Nations that the school hosted on the 7th and 8th March.  A fantastic event with schools from all over the country participating

Congratulations to our Bath Half Marathon runners

Well done to the boys who ran the Bath Half this year.  All four of them recorded respectable times and special mention must go to Jamie who stepped in at the last minute as Thomas unfortunately did not recover in time from a recent illness to be well enough to run.  A great effort from all!


George, Anish and Simon before setting out
