Hall and Fonthill win House Debating

A massive well done to Maddie and Sam who were crowned House debating Champions 2016.  After their superb win in the first round they were red hot favourites to win the competition and did not disappoint with their strong argument for why the Internet has NOT done more harm than good.

Sam and Maddie

Another week, another birthday!

On Sunday it was Antonio's 15th birthday and on Monday, Vlad also turned 15 so we celebrated with not one but two cakes!  As ever, the boys in the house enjoyed the wonderful creations.  HAPPY BIRTHDAY to room- mates Vlad and Antonio!

Weekend activities

Some of the boys took the opportunity to have a go at archery on Sunday.  Below you can see  Gustav, Coleman, Toby and Moto all taking aim.

After the archery activity, the sixth form boarders went into Bath to watch "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them" before enjoying a meal at Nandos.  A massive thank you to Hall's very own Mr Chua for organising both of these events.

As Christmas gets closer there will be plenty of other trips and activities that the boys will be involved in so keep checking the blog to see photographs and news of the latest adventures they have had!

Happy Birthday Ben

It was Ben's 18th birthday on Friday and his family very kindly organised a cake that all of the boys could share.  As you can see from the picture below - lots of the boys were keen to help Ben celebrate his special day!

Senior House Rugby

Today saw the final day of house rugby and it was the seniors' turn.  We won our first match against Middle two tries to nil thanks to a try from year 11 prop Dominic and a well finished try from Hamish after some great work by Founder.  This set up a final match in which the boys just had to make sure they avoided defeat to Upper.  We won thanks to a solitary try from year 11 Fin which meant we were crowned Senior House Rugby champions again for the next 12 months.  Well Done to all of the boys who took part in the matches this week and particularly well done to the seniors.

House Rugby

It is House rugby week with Middle House looking to retain the titles they won last year.  So far this week they have managed it!  But an excellent fight was put up by the year 9 boys today who comfortably beat Upper 26 - 12 in the first game before losing two tires to one against Middle in the decider. Yesterday the boys from year 10 met a similar fate beating Upper only to lose convincingly to Middle.  Well done to all of the boys who have taken part so far and fingers crossed the seniors can go one better on Thursday. 

House debating

Well done to Sam and Maddie who teamed up from Hall and Fonthill to win the first round of Debating by beating the Middle and Summerhill combined team.  The pair argued against the motion that "Money has ruined sport".  Tonight sees Henry and Uliana team up to see if the Hall and Fonthill team can win outright by beating Upper and School
