Winners

Peter Baker and Gus McCulloch with the JUNIOR HOUSE RUGBY trophy. Both the A and B teams did Everett proud claiming overall victory in a hard fought competition. Peter Baker received praise from the tournament organiser for his captaincy, leading from the front and building a great team spirit.
Not to be outdone the Seniors played really well in the House football competition winning two and drawing two matches and now wait for the final round to see where we will come.

In the end of term assembly Anthony Miarli and Gus both received prizes for being awarded the most Excellence Slips this term. A good end to the term, the whole House deserves the half term break :-)

House Football and House Spirit

I was really impressed with the House spirit and sportsmanship showed today in the first round of the Interhouse football. Two very competitively fought games and loads of support from the sidelines made me proud to be Everett Housemaster. our Junior side fought hard all the way, with strong running, good passing and excellent defence to run out winners 6-5 over Burr. Only a great performance by the Burr goalie prevented more goals, but Alex Sanderson and Max Chandler both got hat tricks. The senior game was end to end stuff, with the lead constantly changing hands. In the end a 3-3 draw was a fair result, Buchan, Maguire and Madden were all involved in the three goals and some excellent defensive work was done by Kelly, the side was brought together well by captain Corke.

Academic excellence

The majority of Everett boys seem to have made a good start to the year, but Year 10 are leading the way with Excellence slips. Special mention must go to Peter Baker and Oran Mehmet who top the league table and both earned four last week alone!
Oran also got a special mention from the Head of English for his entry into the poetry competition - the theme was your House :-
E verett is the best
v igourously beats the rest
e very boy has a hairy chest
r ed is on all our vests
e ndangered pupils need chicken breast
t he prep is also the hardest
t he teachers are also the coolest

A busy start to the term

Well here we are 11 days into the term and I have finally worked out how to Blog! Apologies to any avid followers. Term has started well and I have been particular pleased with how well the new Year 9 and Year 12 have settled in. This may have something to do with how busy they have been, camping overnight on Shiplake Island, a bowling and laser quest trip, Headmasters BBQ and a trip to Longridge water sports cente among the activities they have been involved in. Not to mention dealing with a snake invasion!

Music BTEC has the Tithe Barn Rocking

Anyone attending the Music BTEC concert last night would have had a smile on their face by the end of the evening! It was great fun and some great performances were given. Our own Fred Mallin (Y12) looked cool and accomplished on the bass guitar during renditions of some classic rock tunes. Hannah Fitzgerald (Y13 Everett girl) led the way with some wonderful dancing!!!

Half-Term Holiday

Half-Term is here but most boys will be using the holidays to revise for their final few examinations. Not long to go now and then they can enjoy a well earned rest! These final few days and weeks of revision can be very important so the more encouragement they can be given the better.

Boys Y11 will be free to go home after their final examination until Wednesday 30th June when they should return by midday.

Boys in Y12 will be free to go home until the evening of Tuesday 15th June when they will return for the HE week (see separate email for details). They will then have a week of work experience and if they are not on site for this they must return by Wednesday 30th June.

Enjoy the holiday!!

Excellent Academic Effort

Many Congratulation go to Ed Allen (Y12) and Rowland Young (Y11) both of whom received Headmaster's Awards for effort in assembly on Tuesday this week. This comes at exactly the right time and lets hope their efforts are rewarded when the exam results come through this summer!!
