Congratulations to our newly-appointed Senior Student Leadership Team (left to right) Deputy Head Boy Alfie Cornwall; Head Boy Callum Keigher; Head Girl Evie Evans and Deputy Head Girl Connie Carr. The four, who will begin their duties in January, were appointed after submitting a CV and letter of application as well as attending an interview with the Gordon's Head, Deputy Head and Chair of Governors. Among their duties will be attending school events, co-chairing meetings, providing assistance and co-ordinating Senior Prefect Teams while fulfilling the school's five character values of courtesy, integrity, diligence, enthusiasm and resilience. Wishing them all the best of luck in their new roles. For more information on their roles and responsibilities, please click here.

The hockey team set themselves a running challenge, raising over £1,200 for the NHS during the pandemic. Today this and other examples of how Gordon's gives back, will be presented to judges at the magnificent Goldsmiths' Hall in London as part of the national finals of the Goldsmiths' Company Awards for Community Engagement. Best of luck to all those taking part in the presentations.

For their compelling arguments on patriarchy no longer being dominant in modern society, Victoria House claimed the top spot in Inter-House Debating, with China and Buckingham in second and third place. Next week sees the turn of Years 9-10 who will debate whether 'this house believes climate change is a technological challenge that can be overcome'. Congratulations Victoria and best of luck to those representing their Houses in the next round of debates.

Congratulations to the Hockey First VII Team, who retained their title of Champions in the Lord Wandsworth College Super 7s Hockey Tournament yesterday, scoring 30 of the total 94 goals. 

Reading for pleasure and a good cause! Our Year 7 students have their heads buried in their favourite books for the next two weeks in a readathon to raise money for Read for Good, a charity which sends books and storytellers in to hospitals to brighten up the days of sick children. Each of them have set themselves targets of either the number of books or chapters or pages. They also have the opportunity to read to Sixth Form volunteers.

TV's Shaun Wallace turned the tables last night, becoming quiz master for the Sixth Form annual quiz. The barrister and 2014 Mastermind winner, one of six chasers on The Chase and affectionately known as the Dark Destroyer ensured the students were put through their paces in the battle of the brains.
