All year groups have now finished exams (except for our Year 11 girls, who continue bravely through their GCSEs) and I trust that everyone breathed a big sigh of relief on Friday and then spent a restful exeat, enjoying the sunshine! Year 9 and Year 10 girls will be receiveing their results this week and their tutors (Miss Gladstone for Year 9 and Miss Nairn for Year 10) will be sitting down with each girl individually after half term to reflect on this year's achievements and set targets for next year.
The staff spent Friday evening and Saturday wishing a fond farewell to our Upper Sixth girls, who have now left us to start their adult lives! The picture above is of the girls looking stunning before the Leavers Ball. We had a lovely evening with them, before joining them and their parents for the Leavers Day lunch on Saturday and our final, slightly emotional, farewells in Park Grange.
With the appearence of the sun and the absence of exams the girls have finally been able to use our lovely lawn, we have changed our homework time to 'summer prep times' which means 6:30 through to 8:00 for Year 9 and 6:30 to 8:30 for all other year groups, with the lighter evenings this enables the girls to make use of the lawn after homework time is over. please keep your fingers crossed for continued sunshine! Please note these times and as always please try to avoid calling your daughter during prep.
We are now looking forward to the Boarders Olympics next half term. Each week there will be a different event and all boarding houses put forward a team. The events will be
Week 1: Volley ball and Tennis PG lawn
Week 2: Swimming
Week 3: Athletics and BBQ at 5pm on the last Sunday of term
We have been asked to conduct a survey of who reads the parents pages. I would appreciate it if you could let me know by email that you have read this message! emb@sevenoaksschool.org
