The Y10 boys enjoyed a varied day of activities on Thursday, including mountain biking, air rifle shooting, camouflage and concealment and ‘rat pack’ cooking. The seniors in the Army and RN section had overnight exercises on Wednesday and on the Thursday – the RN section canoed, sailed, and learnt to helm the motor launch, whilst the Army section undertook ambush drills, section attacks and recce patrols. The RAF section visited the museum at RAF Hendon.

Junior House Football round 1

On Monday Everett Junior footballers took to the pitch and played in three very closely contested games, unfortunately losing two but drawing one. Lots to play for in the second round, their great team spirit will I am sure bring success.

Academic Scholarship

Congratulations to Freddie Lang, who has been awarded an academic scholarship. His AS results, together with an excellent attitude in class led to the award being made by the Headmaster just prior to exeat. Well done Freddie, thoroughly deserved.

Senior House rugby

On Wednesday afternoon the senior boys played in a very competitive 7’s tournament. An afternoon of free flowing rugby with exciting and close games. We drew against Burr, lost narrowly to Orchard and had our best game against eventual winner’s Welsh House. Our final game saw some very tired legs running out against Skipwith, but brave tackling and two good tries couldn’t save us from another loss.

Prefect and Chapel Warden blessings

Harvest festival Sunday 6th October

Everett House Harvest Festival Sunday service in the Chapel on the 6th October starting at 19.30pm.
Once a year each House organises a Sunday Chapel Service and this year Everett have been asked to run the Harvest Festival service. Everett boarding pupils are expected to attend and it would be lovely to see as many families there as possible.
The College will be supporting the work of the Reading Drop-in Centre and we would very much appreciate donations for the service to go to this worthy local charity.
The Drop-in Centre have suggested the following items that they are particularly short of - any tinned meats, tinned peas or carrots, mustard, marmite, peanut butter, chocolate spread, breakfast cereals, coffee, squash, sugar and also toiletries.
They have requested no pasta or rice as they have recently had a bulk donation. These can be brought on the evening of the service or sent to school with your son or daughter over the next two weeks, I will start a collection box in the House office.
With grateful thanks for your help and support.
