Dear Aberdeen Parents, girls and friends,

Dear Aberdeen Parents, girls and friends,

Welcome to the House blog. The aim of this blog is to give you access to non-vital information about the House and College. The girls get involved with so much at the College and I hope to use this forum as a way of keeping you informed of the activities they get involved in.



Please do join in and check it out whenever you can.



Best wishes,



Kate Newson

House Mistress of Aberdeen

RWC - Japan beat South Africa

This was a truly amazing spectacle of courage and belief that had the rugby world rocking!  Awesome performance by the Japanese to secure their first ever world cup win.  Inspirational.

Rugby World Cup update



England on their way

Not a totally commanding win, but they got the four tries that give them an extra bonus point, and there were some strong individual efforts. England need to be a lot tighter against the bigger teams, but they were under a lot of pressure and scrutiny tonight and they came through. I thought that Tom Youngs had a particularly strong game, along with the Mike Brown.  The bench played a key role in injecting some much needed energy and impetus.

Afternoon Tea for Abderdeen and Neal

Star of the Week: Nicole

Nicole has been a great asset to the House and becomes our star of the week for her support and enthusiasm with the organising the Aberdeen Curry night.  She created a well received play list which made everyone dance!
Thank you.

I have put together a slide show to give you a feel what the girls got up to.
