Ardingly 'Steepo' 2013

What a wonderful day, with a great spirit and lots of happy faces.   The girls gathered together to put on the 'blue war paint' and then sang chants and really got into the spirit of to the occasion.   The whole College was buzzing with energy and fun.   Rebecca Chee came joint first with Ciara Branagan, the other girls ran really well too.

The whole College is supporting the 'Link to Hope' charity, which sends shoeboxes to families and elderly people in Eastern Europe. Miss Crowe's group decided to join in and make up some shoeboxes - in total our tutor group donated 6, 3 family ones and 3 for elderly people.

Special thanks to Freya who brought in 2 from home and Amy's little sister, who donated some of her pocket money! Many thanks to all parents who went out and bought items, giving of your time and money.

Our collection of beautifully and lovingly wrapped shoeboxes.

What an amazing, action pack evening.   Tables were made up of Parents, all boys, all girls and mixed boys and girls.  Mad categories from manopoly pieces to Abba songs to chat up lines that work!   Loads of fun was had by all.   Big thank you to Jo Pierpoint, Jaquie Willifer and Martin our quiz master who helped to make it happen.

In House Movie Night

The girls have had a really busy week and then had hockey matches on against City of London, Freemans on Saturday.   Alina played in her first ever hockey match and was voted player of the match by the opposition.  Many girls who would normally play in the U16's team were dispersed into the 1st , 2nd and 3rd XI hockey teams.
The evening then came and having some downtime was the order of the day (or night).
Movies, Popcorn and Icecream with the films.   Jess van Droogenbroeck and Maxine Higgeni (Lower Sixth) popped in to say 'Hello'.  It was a really lovely evening.
The girls were then up early on Sunday morning getting organised to visit Westfields Shopping Centre in London.
