Dear Woodard Girls' parents, girls and friends,

Welcome to the Woodard Girls’ blog site! We are a very busy house with the girls involving themselves fully in so many different activities that it is sometimes hard to keep track! The aim of this site is to keep you all up to date with their activities and achievements. I aim to update the blog every Monday afternoon, so please do come back and visit it on a regular basis.

Happy Birthday Hannah!

Hannah celebrates her 18th this weekend and to get into the birthday mood she brought in cake to share with the girls. Thank you Hannah and HAPPY BIRTHDAY!


Christmas Dinner

We had a lovely Christmas dinner and enjoyed spending time with our support staff guests. Miss Gall and Mr. Bennetts gave some speeches, as did the Heads of Houses. We'd like to thank the catering staff for all their hard work, as well as the matrons, students and staff who helped with the setting up and clearing away. Have a very Happy Christmas Woodard Girls :)












House Hockey

It was many of the girls' last chance to play school hockey today in the annual House Hockey competition. The girls played really well, losing only one match and came second overall. In their final match, the score was an impressive 7-0!!

















Secret Santa

This morning we all enjoyed the finale of House Secret Santa. The presents were very generous and the girls had a lovely morning, getting into the Christmas spirit ready for holidays.

Santa & Colour run

Mr Lovat organised a very successful Santa/colour run for the last Sunday of the term. The money raised was for MSF (Medicine sans Frontieres) in partnership with Doctors Adrift, two doctors who are rowing the Indian Ocean next year to raise money for MSF. Our girls helped with the Jazzercise warm up, collecting money, throwing paint...the works!

The girls really enjoyed it - a cold and early Sunday morning wake up call but well worth it!

Happy Thanksgiving

Before we get too tied up in Christmas preparations, our American students celebrated Thanksgiving. One of our parents sent down Turkey and all the trimmings from London, but the students really appreciated it. One things for sure, we are thankful for them being in this House!





Haunted House?

Halloween has come early to the blue floor....some of our girls really did get in the spirit this year!



Woodard Quiz

Traditionally, after Steepo we have the Woodard House Quiz. This was a fun evening, very chilled out with lots of food. Our thanks to Mr Bennetts for organising the questions/rounds.

Steepo!

OIt's that time of year again...Steepo! That must mean half term is just around the corner....
The girls did so well this year and won two cups for their efforts and achievements and the House Spirit was awesome. We are so proud - well done!










House Hustings

As part of the process of selecting a Head of House, the girls who applied for the role had to stand up and give a little speech in one of the morning call overs. Here is Lisa giving her speech!


Laser Quest & BBQ

At the beginning of term we had a whole Godwin House bonding event. The girls and boys were split into different groups and got to do some team building, laser quest and archery all in the school grounds. After all that, the students returned to the house for a BBQ lovingly cooked by Miss Gall and Mrs Utting!
