Cross Country Triumph

In today's first cross country standards Everett House came first overall in the combined standards. Despite a couple of strong runners being off games, the seniors finished third overall
in their competition. The Everett girls did really well, coming home ahead of many junior boys with Chesca finishing 2nd, Cheskie 5th, Bella 6th and Alex 12th in their competition, 2nd place overall in the girls event. The Juniors again did the House proud, winning the Junior standards, Peter Baker and Anthony Miarli both finishing in the top 10, 6th and 8th respectively. I look forward to more of the same next week.

Year 9 in the spotlight

Tonight the Year 9 Floodlit football tournament got under way. Conditions were not great, a light drizzle and cold winds meant slippy conditions underfoot. Despite this the first game against Skipwith was an entertaining affair, solid defence combined with good passing and plenty of work off the ball resulted in a 4-0 win. The second game against Welsh was end to end stuff, Welsh took an early lead, but we soon levelled the score, Welsh went 3 - 1 up with a dubious goal that didn't appear to cross the line. we fought back well and scored another goal, but unfortunately the final whistle went as we pressed for an equaliser. All 8 players contributed to a great team effort, but leading by example Captain Markus Grun scored 4 goals, Anthony Miarli 2 and Max Chandler a thumping penalty that the keeper had no hope of saving.

Children in Need

This Friday Everett House in conjunction with the rest of the school will be raising money for Children in Need. Pupils will be allowed to wear non uniform casual clothes for the day if they donate at least £2.00 to this worthy cause. If the whole College joins in, we can easily raise over £600.00.

Junior Leaders

In this weeks Junior Assembly the Deputy Headmaster announced the appointments of the new Junior Leaders. Congratulations to Gus McCulloch who is Junior Leader for Everett House. Gus will be in post until the end of this term. He will be assisting the College prefects, taking a role in the organisation of House events and assemblies and chapel's. His first task is to manage the Year 9 team in the upcoming Prefects astro tournament. I wish Gus well in the post, it will be a great experience.

House Football - so close!

Last night the results of the House football were released. Everett have done themselves proud.

The Juniors scored 14 goals over four matches, they won two games and lost two, placing them third overall. The Seniors narrowly missed out on glory, they scored 15 goals, won two and drew two to finish level on points with Burr, but unfortunately lost out on goal difference to finish second. Winning isn't everyting I know and we should also be proud of the way both teams played, good sportmanship, a great spirit and plenty of support form the rest of the house on the touchlines. The boys now have the cross country championships to look forward to!!
