19 June 2009

Today is election day! The week has been dominated by the campaigns for election to the School Council and for the office bearers in the senior school (Head Boy, Head Girl House Captains etc). The school is adorned with campaign posters and the pupils with rosettes. Without a UN commission to check the procedures, I'm afraid some bribery has been going on (homemade cakes, sweets) and competition is fierce. An 80%+ turnout is expected. The results will be announced on Monday. Good luck to all the candidates and congratulations to the whole school on a great election day.
The weather let us down this week, the County Sports were cancelled and the school's sports' day has been postponed until Tuesday. This will be a busy day as Tuesday is also 'Busking for Cancer' day, when the talented musicians will be fund-raising around the school campus.

As we head towards the end of term, lessons and work will continue and the school will close for the summer holiday on Friday 26th at lunchtime. I am sure we will have an enjoyable last week of the session.

Best wishes,
JB Craig
