Talbot's House

Friday Celebration 10/1/14

Well, no week in Talbot's would be complete without our Friday Celebration. Though we have only been back 4 days, there is already much to be proud of. The standard celebration hot supper also made a welcome return of course!

The 5th form and IB2 boys have of course been focusing on their trial exams and have been matched in endeavour by this week's merit winner: Jun who was chased by Alastair and Maxim. Jack has also found himself joining our elite group of boys in the Business Studies and Economics Champions League places.
Karan has had a busy week preparing for upcoming University interviews, but also discovered that he passed grade 8 on the guitar with a very high merit score, a wonderful achievement.
Special mention was made for Will.R who has been staying with us for a week and thrown himself into Talbot's life, including covering an evening prep supervision even though he is a day boy!

The best room of the week went to Room 14, well done Ben, Nihat and Simon.

On the sports front, it was a special week for Simon who made his debut for the school in being picked for the U15B football team. Most humorously, Kritt was also picked but had already swapped sports, thus leaving him waiting for his debut. Simon was joined in the U15B by Bob whilst Nihat was selected for the U15A. In the seniors, Justus is in the 4ths, Rufus and Leo in the 3rds, Aaron and Rio in the 2nds and Nico starts his Bedford School AFC career in the 1st XI!
In Hockey Ben.N and Tom are picked for the 1st XI again, after the narrow loss in the week and Jack and Dylan are in the 3rds. In the under 16s, Josh is in the A squad, bringing his notoriously physical style, whilst Ben.K is in the U15 A team. In the U14s, Teepee and Frank are in the D squad.
In Fives, we have 3 of the first 4 in Karan, Dom.B and debutant Michael.

For the main awards: Alastair is top bloke as he has brought one of his self portraits in as a gift to the house, whilst Dylan is man of the Week for being chief photographer at last term's Christmas dinner and then bringing all the pictures to school for the house photo reel.

Dylan looking cool?

Alastair can't get away from crumble for a photo
