From the Housemaster
The Dunbar pupils have all made a great start to the Lent
Term, refreshed from the long Christmas holidays! They have made our three new
boys feel very welcome indeed and are to be congratulated on their selflessness
in making the potentially difficult task of joining a school part way through
the year, all the more easier for Sam, Kenny and Oscar.
I was fortunate enough to be able to watch both the boys’
rugby and the girls’ netball on Wednesday 22nd January. The boys certainly
played with determination and grit against Leighton Park School and the girls
were back on winning form with some excellent team work and awareness of each
other around the court. Alex Barnes and Sam Holloway have ensured that match
reports have been written for these fixtures—well done to them!We have enjoyed a range of presentations given by the Dunbar pupils in the Friday morning ‘rewards and awards assembly’ slot. Each pupil will give some sort of presentation this term. So far we have listed to dynamic, multimedia and in-depth presentations from: Zac Fryer (kangaroos), Lucy Perring and Jenny Crossley (netball), Luke Hedley and Archie Coltart (ice hockey); Freya Harvey and Alex Barnes (netball—shooting) and Laura Hartwright (the Atlantic rowing challenge).
Lucy Perring and Wills Wildern gave an excellent presentation in front of the whole College during Headmaster’s assembly on Monday 20th January! They shared their experiences of the Dunbar Ski trip to Claviere in Northern Italy. They showed pictures of wintry fun and good times whilst wearing their full ski regalia!
The Dunbar pupils were involved in a Digital Citizenship
workshop later that Monday. They discussed issues relating to risks involved
with sharing information online or via electronic devices as well as being
given advice and top tips for being a responsible Digital Citizen.
