My congratulations this week are
heading to Orchard students in sport, drama and music, with awards and
responsibilities for the following:
·
Harry Emmanuel has once again been selected for
the Berkshire U15 Hockey Squad and I am sure he will be making some telling
contributions to that team and, staying with hockey, also to Ben Peers for
being honoured with the 1st XI Hockey Captaincy. We wish you both
well in the term ahead.
·
Ben Tait’s talents on the stage are clearly
gaining recognition as he has just been given the role Thuy in the Wilde
Theatre’s production of Miss Saigon from 4-8 March. I would say ‘break a leg’
but that is literally the case with Ruaridh Sheppard playing a lead role in
this week’s College production of Bugsy (Ruaridh broke his leg playing rugby
just before Christmas but is still fulfilling his part this week). Good luck to
both of you!
·
Charles Marsden has committed himself
wholeheartedly to the extra-curricular programme here at Shiplake and it is
really pleasing to see him gain his Grade 7 award in Singing over the Christmas
holidays; a fantastic achievement in itself but it also has a degree of
academic value too (being recognised in the UCAS tariff table for university
entrance).
Well done to all of the above and I am sure we will have a
number of students coming forward with more outstanding performances over the
course of this term.
Mr Curtis
