Rupert House Sports Day

Every year Shiplake College sends a group of Y12 students to help run local prep school Rupert House sports day. This year they included newly appointed prefect for 2012-13 Kit Bowerin. All the students represented the College well, but Kit was singled out for a special mention by accompanying teacher Mr Rendell who reported

The behaviour of the students who accompanied me to Rupert House today was excellent. They performed their duties well and displayed a visible enthusiasm which I am sure made a huge difference to the pupils competing. The organisers even suggested that this was the best group of Shiplake students they had seen!
But I feel special mention must go to Kit Bowerin. Saddled with the most demanding tasks he spent the day rushing backwards and forwards, setting up race after race to such an extent that one might have been forgiven for assuming he was responsible for running the event. When his duties were done he chose to assist the others in theirs. The organisers singled him out with a special thank you and I would like to do the same. Exceptional dedication, initiative and enthusiasm.

Well Done Kit.
