With
only a week to go until the end of term, there is no signs of activity slowing
down in School. This week we held our Year 6 Induction Day, welcoming all of
our new joiners, and this weekend sees our new Y7 boarders entering the houses
for their sleepover taster weekend.
Tonight
is the final production of the whole school musical ‘Bugsy Malone’, which had
its premiere on Wednesday and has had sell-out audiences. Congratulations to
everyone involved from the actors, to behind the scenes, to the technical
department, to front of house. All of the funds raised from the tickets and
refreshments sales will go towards the next school production and the Drama
department, so we are immensely grateful for your support. Tickets for
tonight’s show (7.30pm) are available on the door if you haven’t got yours
already – I hope to see you there!
This
week a huge congratulations goes to our Year 8 girls who – following a
gruelling session at Millfield – have been crowned county champions in Rounders
for the second year in a row. We are very proud of them – especially as many of
them are also county netball champions! Well done ladies. Cricket fixtures and
athletics meets have also been held this week against Warminster School and
Millfield.
The Year
12 Geography department returns this afternoon from their field trip to the
Dale Fort Field Centre in Pembrokeshire, where they have been assessing
biodiversity change in intertidal zones, among other things. Photos can be seen
via Twitter @SexeysGeogDept Geography Trip.
On
Tuesday this week we welcomed fifteen potential employers into school for a
careers conference for our Years 8-10. Thank you to everyone who made this
excellent opportunity to support our students’ future business lives a
possibility – a full write up can be read here Careers Conference.
Should
any of you be visiting the Yeovilton Air Day this weekend then do look out for
our stand – we will be representing Sexey’s as we do each year, in support of
our forces families. Spread the word!
