Still in the lead - well done!

This week's MVDs

This week’s MVDs (Most Valuable Dragons) are Katie and Marina from Y10.  Why?  Because they stepped up to the plate and volunteered for the 800m on House Athletics when no one else would do it.  That’s the sort of leadership that I expect from our Year Leaders – well done ladies!

All time recycling record!

Liam from 7T set an all time recycling record yesterday – 10 bin bags full of recycling!  A superb effort Liam – you’ve obviously kept every last bit of recycling over the whole Christmas holidays!  

Liam’s got us off to a really strong start to the term but we all need to make an effort if we’re going to win another 100 points in Term 2.  Please join in with Samui recycling and help us to another great victory!

Just a reminder that if you can’t compete due to illness or injury it is your responsibility to come and find me with the name of a replacement competitor.

If you haven’t put your name down for a main event that’s OK – there will be Alternative Events that you can participate in on the day without needing to sign up.  And remember that it was the points from these events that tipped the scales in our favour last year and allowed us to beat Lanta; these Alternative Events are vitally important to our success!

Mr B

Did you know... ?

Did you know 23 January 2012 – 9 February 2013 is the Year of The Dragon in the Chinese zodiac?

Does this mean it will be our year to win the House Competition?  We’ve made a great start so far!

“Dragons are magnanimous, stately, vigorous, strong, self-assured, proud, noble, direct, dignified, eccentric, intellectual, fiery, passionate, decisive, pioneering, artistic, generous, loyal, wise, humble, imperious, foresighted, demanding, intolerant, peaceful, impetuous, understanding, and blunt”  Can you spot any of these qualities in yourself?

You guys rock!

Samui 1^st place = 850 house points!

Lanta 2^nd place = 710 house points

Phuket 3^rd place = 700 house points

Chang 4^th place = 660 house points

A fantastic term’s work of which we can all be justifiably proud.  

Personal highlights for me have been that:

·      We’ve gone from a dismal 4^th place in the recycling last year to a superb 1^st – we even beat Phuket!

·      Special thanks for this must surely go to 7P and 7T as they truly have been the Kings and Queens of recycling this term – thank you to Y7 Dragons for their efforts!

·      The two tutor groups who handed in the most credits from Y8 were 8M and 8G – both Samui groups; well done and thank you!

·      The two tutor groups who handed in the most credits from Y9 were 9S and 9P – both Samui groups; well done and thank you!

Well done to all of you and thank you for your efforts this term.  See you back and refreshed in term 2 – let’s see if we can hold on to our title of winners of House Athletics for a second year!

J Merry Christmas! J

Merry Christmas, Dragons!
