Ousel article 2015
Alex.S has just penned the below for this year's school magazine, The Ousel, so we thought we'd give you all an advanced preview!
2014/2015 in Talbots House
The
year really started in full when as a house we had our first competition at
Sports day. This was the first time that the whole house had properly joined
together whether taking part or supporting. The fact that we won highlighted
the strength of the house’s sport and support. Weekly competitions in the house
such as tidiness and number of merits helped give the house a competitive
atmosphere, despite Darren. Pang inevitably winning and accepting everyone’s
cheering graciously. Within the house there were many trips including
paintballing, go-karting, bowling as well as visits to Alton Towers theme park
and wake-boarding at Box End. At the end of the first half term we had our
hardest challenge as a house as we prepared for house singing. This involved
consistently practising every week for a month. However we were ready to put
everything into it and we won the Unison cup. This was one of the highlights of
the year and set the tone for the rest of the year as we took part in all the
house matches with a full bench of Talbot’s support at every venue. My
favourite thing about the house that I took away from the year was the amazing
way in which everyone fitted in so well almost immediately despite ages ranging
from 13-18 and boys from all over the world. This is the case from the staff
down to the fourth form. It was a very good and enjoyable year for the house in
which we won many of the major competitions and, of course, won the house cup.
