Pupil Praise
- Luke Towers and Paddy Bamforth for their excellent efforts at the GB rowing trials in Nottingham on Sunday.
- An excellent Hesperus Dinner on Saturday. Well done to the U6, Hugo for his speech and the 3 Form waiters.
- Well done to the 3F crews who won races at the Birmingham Regatta on Saturday. A great start to the Regatta season!
- There were no commendations published this week.
Will Read gave a very funny talk on Prince Felix Yusupov - the man who killed Rasputin: http://www.spartacus.schoolnet.co.uk/RUSyusupov.htm
Will said we can learn 3 things from Yusupov:
1. If you're going to do something, do it properly (e.g. kill Rasputin)
2. If at first you don't succeed, try and try again. (it took four attempts to kill Rasputin)
3. Don't sleep with a Russian man's wife (sound advice - Rasputin allegedly slept with Yusupov's wife, the Tsar's niece).
