Talbot's House

Friday Celebration 28/2/14

First of all, a huge apology to all those who featured in Friday Celebrations before half term. There were many and they have gone unmentioned on here due to their housemaster's incompetence. However, what can one do but get right back to how things should be?

This Friday saw us all back together after half term with much to celebrate as ever. One thing not celebrated due to the lads not mentioning it was the success of our lads in the Intermediate Maths Challenge. We had a huge number of certificates including gold for Bob and Jun who was also the highest mark in the school! Sasha was awarded an A* in his RE block test which gave him particular personal delight whilst there were many merits as ever. The double merit winners were: Simon, Duncan, Fuga, Ben.K and Michael whilst Tom.C picked up 3. However marching on goes Alex.G whose 4 merits keep him in the top 5 merit winners in the school this term!

We had a number of entrants on the prestigious Detweiler Art competition, but I'll leave that to a later post coming soon....

In Sport this week, Benson continues to be an integral part of the badminton team's unbeaten season. 3 more matches lads... Alex.S and Duncan did a fine job representing St Peter's in house squash this week whilst the following were selected for school teams this weekend:
Football: U15B: Bob, Simon, U15A: Nihat, U16A: Fuga and Alex.S, 3rd: Rufus and Aaron, 2nd: James.L, Leo and Rio and 1st: Nico

The best thing to report on this week was the instances of fantastic kindness and helpfulness from the following: Simon, Hodges, Ben.K, Alex.S, Mike, Alex.G and Ben.N

This week's Top Bloke was awarded by the options to Josh for his fantastic blog post about the Ice Skating whilst the Man of the Week was Dom.B who broke the school overhead squat record and received the new man of the week prize, the Golden Stag!

Well Done everyone!
