All in all another evening which made me proud to be associated with the girls and boys of Everett House.

Head Of House

Always one of the hardest decisions as a Housemaster to make, with strong candidates, all with a good set of skills it was always going to be a tough choice. So I was delighted to announce at the Everett end of term meal

Anthony Miarli as Head of House for 2014-15.

I wish him well next year in a role I know he will make his own and do a fantastic job of.

Fane Award - an award for a Y9 pupil who is a true House man, a good character and who fully involves themselves in all aspects of school life and House life, this year goes to a deserving winner Faan Tsang.
