The boys had a great night this evening celebrating the life of the great Scottish poet Robbie Burns. Although the 25th January is actually the official Burn's night, we were all able to enjoy the traditional meal of haggis, neeps and tatties before we listened to a toast to the lassie, from our Head of House Tom, followed by a response form Prapti from Summerhill.  We then all went over to the sports hall to dance the celidh accompanied by the staff band of Mr Burgeon, Mr Knights and Mr Chua.  Mrs Brown did a superb job explaining each dance and then calling the moves. Great fun had by the whole boarding community!
