The World War One commemoration parade was a chance for the schoolcommunity to reflect on the impact of the start of the World War in1914, when soldiers the age of our Sixth Formers had their liveschanged. Many sadly lost their lives and our current students read aseries of moving poems in their memory.

The sun came out for a fun day of team building games: laser tagging inthe woods, old-school sports day and other challenges. Last but notleast, a well deserved BBQ...

The end of a hard first week!

Relaxing with friends at the first bar night of the year.

First joint call over of the new academic year....Welcome Woodard Girls2014!

LAST BBQ!!!!

Well, the time has come for ½ the house to disappear for a short time as IB exams are over – lucky for some say the A Level students! The weather was reasonably kind to us as we met for the last BBQ of the year and it was lovely to see groups sitting around chatting, laughing and enjoying each other’s company.

SPRING DINNER

At the end of the Lent term, and in recognition that apart from the Leavers Ball this would be the last time that we could meet as a house, we all met for the inaugural Spring Dinner. The change in the Forum as we moved furniture and decorated tables was impressive and set the scene for a wonderful evening!

INTER-HOUSE DEBATING

Pippa, Amelia and Ann-Kathrin easily battled their way through several rounds to reach the final of the inter-house debating competition – our opponents – Woodard Boys!! With the topic “Lads Mags Degrade Women and Should be Covered Up” there were always going to be interesting points and constructive arguments. It was a fiercely competitive debate with the girls holding their own and all three of them contributing freely  to the buttles and questions on comments made by the boys.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Despite their efforts and the questions asked by the rest of the house from the floor we narrowly lost by ½ a point! Regardless, it was a terrific effort – well done girls!
