CCF Field Day

A large number of Everett pupils took part in varied and exciting activities on CCF Field Day this week. The RN cadets travelled down to HMS Bristol spending overnight on board, before transferring to our parent establishment base HMS Collingwood. Here they were given a tour and demonstration of new weapons systems, before being put to the test on practical leadership tasks and a low ropes course. The Army and RAF sections travelled to Bramley training area, basha building, first aid, section attacks, cooking in the field and a night patrol were among the training stands on offer. However the highlight for some lucky Y11 and 12 cadets was a trip in Lynx helicopter provided by the Army Air Corps.

House Football round 2

Another closely contested round of House football took place yesterday afternoon. The Juniors played first in an end to end game, we had the upper hand for most of the match, with fine performances from Grun, Miarli, Orchard and Taylor. But in the end we had to settle for the draw 3-3, Max Chandler is pictured here heading into the box to set up a fine scoring opportunity. The seniors outplayed their Welsh opponents, but Welsh had a run of luck and took the most of their opportunities to edge them out 5-4 in a thrilling match.

Mufti Day

Last Friday the House raised over £70 for the Kikunduku Schools we support as a College in Kenya. A range of casual clothes were seen, from comfortable beach attire, through fashion conscious branded tops to a rather unusual 'Monkey' suit sported by Jack Madden, much to the amusement of the Headmaster - although I think he did suffer with the heat.
