Alex Carr awarded the Elvis trophy to CCCC Joe Holloran who achieved the joint best effort grade in the house and consistently demonstrates outstanding effort and standards.

Before half-term we focused on our manners and organisation. These continue to be important but we have a new target for the second half of term:

Win the 100% - Olly Chapman has been asked to lead our training and we will have training runs on a Wednesday morning (7.00) and Friday Central Hour (14.00).

Tom Perring: Get involved but make sure you organise your time effectively.
Alex O'Sullivan: Have respect for the house, yourself and others.
Jon Grieve: If you want to succeed on the sports field make sure you always ask your coaches how you can improve - the same applies in the classroom.
Ed Winter: Be proud - proud of your appearance, conduct, work and Division.

Have a great half-term!
