I have so enjoyed watching both the RugbyTots and Henley AFC sessions for the pre-prep boys, which are new this term. The energy which the boys still have at the end of the school day is being put to very good effect on the school grounds! The whole programme of Moulsford clubs and activities is being looked at extremely closely at the moment with Chris Symonds taking on the newly created role of Director of Activities from September – he has some really exciting ideas of his own, and has canvassed the staff and boys about further expansion of extra-curricular opportunities. While there will be some alterations to the make-up of the activities programme for 2016/17, there are likely to be more significant changes from September 2017, when we aim to create additional time in the school day for more extra-curricular opportunities.
We had an excellent assembly this week from Grace Lancaster, who is the school’s Charities Co-ordinator. Grace gave the boys details of Moulsford’s charitable fundraising efforts so far this academic year. We were all amazed to discover that in total the Moulsford community had raised £34,000 since September which was going to a number of different charities: Blue Skye Thinking, Brain Tumour Research, the Royal British Legion, Great Ormond Street Hospital, SKRUM and the Goedgedacht Trust. Grace also gave us a preview of acts to appear in Moulsford’s Got Talent (MGT) on the evening of Friday 17th June. I can assure you that you will not be disappointed – it was great to see the boys of DSY in action demonstrating their skills with Diablos, Strings and Yo-Yos! MGT was a fabulous evening last year, and I would encourage parents to attend if they are able – you will have the added entertainment of the Staff v Parents cricket match at the same time! Thank you to all Moulsford families for the wonderful support you have shown for these events and charities.
