Friday Celebration 02/03

It's been a week of freezing temperatures and snowfall!  The boys have been rather resilient in soldiering on despite the cold.  Hopefully, they'll get a chance to enjoy it once lessons are finished Saturday afternoon!

Many of the sports fixtures have been canceled or postponed due to the weather so there is not much to report on there. 

House Competitions
A number of boys helped out with house competitions this week.  Some boys rose to the occasion at short notice, as well, and we'd like to give special recognition to Zakhar and Joe for their efforts with house drama.

Merits
1: Michael, Jason, Simon, Richard, Tizian, Dan, Moritz, Alikhan, and Igor
2:  Theo, Dell, Divine, Joe, Nathan, Ruslan, Ben, and Niklas
3:  Zakhar

8:  Orlando!!

Divine has received another commendation; his sixth this academic year, which is simply amazing!

The 4th Form have qualified for another meal our for averaging more than 3 merits per person in a week--Well Done, Boys.
